Time to spare
I am doing crossword puzzles and shit because I have more free time.
Or, a better use of my time.
What was I doing with the time for x-words? I was using it up on political blogs.
Since the election I have been tapering off the usual stops on my URL circuit.
I find that I have little interest in the continued games in DC and I seem to be indifferent to the kinds of issues that seem to exercise others all to hell.
I do watch the Obamas to see them do their thing and note that they are able to administrate rather creatively in the face of a legislative branch that does not want to govern. Old news but refreshing to watch. I don't much read the letters from The White House. They have my support on everything. Why write a letter.
I finally unsubscribed to the shadow Obama campaign. Not interested in them particularly and I don't think there is much for them to do anyway.
I don't read polls. About what?
Here is another thing.
Name the issues. The NSA thing? I pretty much support their effort. The traitors and their pseudo journalistic apologists? I figure the less said about them the better as it is mostly about attention.
Immigration? Yes. I like the proposals. But the effort is going to be sunk in the House.
College loans? They will work it out.
Guantanamo? He is going to starve them to death and I don't mean the ones on strike. Do I worry about the injustice there? Some. But I figure that most of the "mistakes" are rectified. And if they are not then the cops know something that I do not.
I am not paranoid about secrets. I do not worry about the financial predators. I am an investor. I should watch out for myself.
And so on.
I am totally not interested in the campaign for 2016. Nada. Hillary? They are already doing the Clinton conniving thing and I am still not interested in being a part of their support. God bless her work at State. I try not to be cynical and see it as the best campaign decision she could make. If that is what was going on, she fooled me and we got the benefit. No cost.
I sound like a republican don't I?
Sorry. No way. But there isn't anything that I am in a sweat about.
So why take up a lot of time with it?
So most of it is internet time.
I haven't slighted my other activities. In fact, the MIT thing is starting up now. Any day.
I gotta go now. I need to finish today's puzzle which is actually Wednesdays. I am going slow. A startup.
