Month: July 2007

I’d be a lot more outraged by shenanigans like this: White House won’t rule out Libby pardon if they were not so utterly predictable from this administration.

I’ve definitely got outrage fatigue. And it’s showing in my blogroll too; in recent months, the balance has tipped from “mostly political blogs with a few others thrown in” to “business and tech blogs, food blogs, and a few political blogs too”. Six years of this administration has taken its toll: I am tired of being angry, and reading the same rants by the same people over and over again isn’t interesting anymore.

This might be related to why Obama seems to be doing so well lately. I can’t be the only person out there who is sick of the anger, the divisiveness, and the screaming. A Presidential candidate whose unique selling point is a passionate call to positive action can seem mighty attractive when you’re burned out on the other emotions.
