UPDATE: Well that was mostly civil and people were pretty well behaved ... highly disappointing since I woke up early for it and all. I was ready for some fights. Guess people get more fired up after dinner rather than breakfast ....

I am usually not one for political rallies or town-hall meetings or whatever the kids are calling them these days because I can’t stand most politicians. There are other things, too, like not really liking party politics or radical viewpoints (and lets face it, moderates are not usually the people at rallies), but it basically just comes back to not being able to stand politicians.

I am also not a fan of mornings either. I generally don’t get to sleep until 4 a.m. or later, so 10 a.m. and I are not very good friends.
