Post - Election Letdown

I have to admit, I miss all of the pre-election news coverage, the same coverage I swore off so many times, only to seek it out a few hours later. I obsessed over it (thank god I have an amazing girlfriend, who doesn't mind my obsessive watching and reading of political coverage - or the NHL, for that matter!), and I feel a (sort of) void in my life, now that it's all over. Economic stimulus packages and corporate bailouts don't excite me much, and it's hard to get fired up over the vile stream of shit on fox news or right wing radio, because they don't really matter anymore. Not to be misunderstood, I am extremely excited about the Obama presidency, and the prospects of real change. I just miss the McCain mis-steps, the Palin Interviews and watching the strategy of the Obama campaign unfold. I'm sure it will be a temporary lull, things are already starting to pick up.
