Pretty much, that is it. I try not to think of it.

Around the mid to late Nineties, I completely stopped watching television (Except for pro football) and don’t read any papers or magazines anymore.

I just cannot stand any of it. My wife still watches, and I have to get up and leave the room. I detest television, it is the epitome of liberal cancer.

I went to vote today, and I did something for pretty much the first time: I just voted all republicans on the ticket without having any idea who they were.

It isn’t to say I didn’t vote all Republican before, but I used to try to look at the candidates. In this election, I only paid attention in advance to the ballot questions.

I blot out everything political...television, signs, calls, everything.

Sad. I sometimes feel like I should just give up voting, but I can’t bring myself to do it. So many sacrifices have been paid in the past to give me that option, and I feel I must go through the motions, if nothing else.
