Watching the lifeless proceedings of the U.S. Senate on C-Span can elicit an expected numbness.
The committee members discuss what are sometimes monumental social
issues with the emotion of drywall. Tailored suits and perfectly bland
haircuts seem to shroud the severity of the topics in a cloak of
monotony.

I walked to class today and saw “End the War on Terror” chalked on the sidewalk outside the Union.
Though I have never supported the war in Iraq, and now Afghanistan as
well, it was difficult to agree with the sign on the sidewalk.
I don’t want to stop fighting terror. Terror is, for lack of a better
word, terrifying, and I don’t wish that on anyone. So, then, why don’t
I support the wars that supposedly fight it?

What would happen if we didn’t vote for president?
The UK already follows this model. The head of the executive branch of
government, the prime minister, is not chosen directly by the people’s
vote, but by the party in power in Parliament.

As I have stated before, I like to torture myself often. Part of me
torturing myself includes watching Glenn Beck every day at 5 p.m. on
Fox News.
