GOSSIP AND POLITICS
The State of the Union got me thinking about gossip and politics. Here are my thoughts.
Most people from Judeo-Christian backgrounds would probably profess to hating gossip. Even the gossips would admit that it's a vice needing repentance.
But what about Historians? Do they need to repent of their wicked ways? After all, isn't history just plain-ol' gossip about dead people?
And here's a similar thought I heard attributed to Jay Leno that I think bears repeating: Isn't Politics really just Show Business for ugly people?
Any thoughts?

FEVER
I've got the Fever...(but not for Pringles). I formed another group on flickr, bringing the total up to 2 within 24 hours. I sent out invitations, and people are joining! Fun, right?
