Okay, the DNC site is down for a while.
This post will be up there if and when there forum comes back. Hopefully whatever changes they make will make the place better.
So what have you done in the interim? Made phone calls for the candidate? Stuffed envelopes? Contributed since that was the only thing that was working when I tried to access things this morning?
I made a fresh pot of coffee. I played some golf, talked with the wife about some remodeling we are doing. Talked to the kid. Talked to the daughter. Thought a bit about what I am teaching in the fall, but did not do any preparations. Had a guy come in to do an assessment of the wife and what assistance she may need for her activities of daily living. Decided that a lot of ADLs are hard for both of us.
In other words, I did a lot of other stuff that did not necessitate my sitting at a keyboard arguing with people I probably will never meet in my life. I can do plenty of that with my neocon brother. I did not have to worry about what anybody at the DNC blog thought, the incessant bickering and sniping between a small number of Obama supporters and an equally small number of hard core Clinton supporters.
I did not have to bite my tongue or restrain my fingers from typing a pithy reply to some insipid little pissant whose only purpose on the blog is to denigrate others.
I went to the bank. I did some wash. I picked up around the house. Made some food and ate it. I pulled some weeds. I read some fiction. I read the paper.
In other words, I tried doing some of stuff of real life. Stuff that is more productive, and certainly of more value. I hope in the absence of the blog that you didn't sit around wasting time online.
