Thoughts on Obsessing About Politics

I have been obsessed with politics since I was six years old, and my mother swore to me Hubert Humphrey was going to beat Richard Nixon and be the next President.  My mother got her American citizenship in 1968, and I remember going to the polls with her.  Her first vote.

But sometimes I have moments of thinking it's time for new hobby.

Rep. Anthony Weiner says he “can’t say with certitude” that the photo of a man’s crotch sent using his Twitter account isn’t of him.

“I didn’t send that picture out,” Weiner says.

“That’s not a picture of you?” he is asked by NBC News.

Weiner responds: “You know, I can’t say with certitude.”

The New York lawmaker continued to claim that his Twitter account was hacked.

Today I am having one of those moments. Many of those moments. A whole day, of those moments.
