I think I must not be doing this right. I look at other people's blogs, and they're talking about politics and various major news stories of the day. Meanwhile, here I sit in my own little world, occasionally posting about whatever pointless activity happens to have captured my attention at the moment.

And yet, I cannot do otherwise. My political thought tends toward the simplistic. I don't have a grasp on the nuances of human behavior that would allow me to navigate those waters safely. I tend to come up with straightforward solutions to complex problems which ignore some outlying yet obvious factor that turns the whole thing infeasible. In short, it would go something like this:

Me: I think we should blah.
That guy: Well, what about yadda?
Me: Huh? Oh, yeah. Nevermind.

So, I stay away from emotionally charged, divisive issues that tend to alienate someone whenever a stand is taken. Which leaves me with inconsequentia. Which doesn't seem to draw the crowds. Which I don't mind, actually. Imagine how much harder this would be to write if I thought anyone was reading it.

However, breaking with tradition, I going to take a stand, right here, right now. Ready? Here goes:

There's too much good stuff on TV Wednesday nights. Specifically, there are too many shows I want to watch that are on opposite The West Wing.

There. My political hat is in the ring.
