But Still No Red Bro

On the other hand, I have begun to engage in a few political exchanges with the multitudinous Republicans who infest blogdom. Actually most have been pretty cool. And it's fascinating to be part of a community that on the whole cares so much about politics. Feels novel, and good. Plus, I kinda like being out of the academic "echo chamber" of mostly left-leaning views. Sure, I happen to agree with most of it, but it's pretty dull to be around just people with whom you agree.
