Blissful ignorance

I spent the weekend in the same position as seemingly 90% of the US population; totally ignorant of political trends.  Most of Saturday and a good bit of Sunday I caught up on transplanting, fertilizing, weeding and mowing with time off to babysit granddaughters and pick the produce for a family dinner on Sunday evening.  Five minutes into listening to Morning Joe on the radio and I began to see why most people are turned off by politics, at least the way it is practiced by Washington and NY pundits.  As always, any news is good news for Republicans and bad news for Democrats.  Obama can do nothing right and the culture wars are dissected ad nauseum with the right winning on every issue.  It's enough to make me want to listen to the nice polite republicans on NPR.  At least they have to wear the fig leaf of impartiality.
