Comments on: Primary Day http://johnrlong.com/2008/05/06/primary-day/ I just blather on and on about stuff that interests me, mostly politics and sex and sometimes movies and art.

However, all the primary conversation is about superdelegates and how to count votes and who stuck their finger in someone’s eye and THAT’s what I’m bored with. Personally, I had to do a Google search to find out who Miley Cyrus is, but I agree this primary is more important than magazine pictures of a Disney star.

What about our desire for robust political debate? Admittedly, we are all exhausted by the lack of focus on policy and ideas and more on character and who did it to whom and for how much. I’d still rather hear about Obama and Clinton than Miley Cyrus’s Vanity Fair photo.

Oh, and this stupid stinking stop lossing mission accomplished war. I’d like to keep up the conversation on that. What a bunch of short attention spans we have. Such luxury to be so distracted while the world crumbles. Anyone up for cake?
