"It's like earning capital. During this campaign, I earned capital, and now I'm going to spend it."--President/President-elect George W. Bush

I'm not as big a politics buff as some, but I felt compelled to pay homage to the power of the vote, since I did start a blog after Nov 2. My quoting the Pres doesn't make such a powerful statement as "Vote or Die" or say the entire line-up on Fox News, and it doesn't quite explain why one vote counts more than the other depending on where you live or why a friend of mine didn't vote cos she doesn't want to do jury duty. And it doesn't quite tell me why the heaviest blogging traffic is in the middle of the day when most bloggers--present company included--are purportedly contributing to the economic growth the current administration keeps reminding us of. Or why my jeans suddenly got tight in three days. No, it doesn't shed light on life's biggest mysteries, but it shows I care about political process. Sort of.

Now, I must bid you good day as I race to cash my paycheck.
