moratorium

I pledge not to mention the current political situation in my journal, nor will i make any comments (except to tie off any loose ends) in any friend's journal where it is discussed, until the Bush reïnauguration. I encourage others to join me.

No, i'm not being an ostrich. I'm sore, and i'm tired, and it's doing me no good; odds are that you might be in the same boat.

why is there an umlaut over reinauguration precious

It's not an umlaut, dummy, it's a dieresis.

I hesitate to say "Thank you" because it makes me sound like I'm criticizing those who are not choosing to join you. But I do appreciate it, and I think you're right, and I hope you don't mind me copying you word-for-word.

I'm pretty much done for the nonce. I had linner with a friend and we talked it completely out.

Now you can read that Terry Pratchett book and think happy thoughts.

I agree that it's a good idea, but I think I might have to hash it out a little more with someone before I can go there myself. appropriately enough, I lost my voice this morning, and other than a brief visit this morning to school to get things ready for my sub, haven't had a chance to talk much to anyone all day.

Yes, you got a late start. Take your time.

So, just no comments on LJ, or ignoring politics altogether until January?

Just LJ. I can't possibly become a hermit about this.

OK. You can do whatever you want, of course, I just don't think now is the time to stop discussing or doing things you believe in.

Also, your Arafat haiku has given you away. Haw haw!

By "current political situation", i just meant, you know, Frankenberry and the one-assed monkey. Anything else is fair game.

I'm pretty much not discussing this election with anyone I haven't already vetted. If you want to commiserate some time, let's do so. In the meantime, when and where am I meeting you in Berkeley for the Ellis thang?

I plan on getting off BART in Berkeley just before 4 and marching straight to CR.
