Tomorrow Is My Birthday

And I find myself paying less and less attention to the big issues of the world, as I'm distracted more and more by the Judge Judies, Michael Jacksons, American Idols, and various media-highlighted crimes against children that I know are blown out of proportion and not representative of what's going on in the world at large. I'm in my own world now, a world where I'm almost like, "George W. who?" I wonder if other lefties out there have drifted into this self-absorbed oblivion since November. I wonder if this is the way conservatives felt six months into the Clinton administration.

Maybe a trip to the Blue Moon Tavern will make me feel better.
