Thanks for the question, I appreciate it.
And yes, life itself is a contradiction. It’s a paradox. And as Bonnie Tyler once said, it’s a heartache. But while I cannot describe my “contradiction” in a positive light, I can tell you that I stand by my really EARLY post today (Permalink ∞) .. I think a simple letter would do. No fanfare, no big event.. But big events are in. And State of the Unions are big events. So I admit, I watch and have watched yearly, and I also admit I somewhat have a hidden love of division, when Democrats sit or stand and Republicans do the opposite. I also like the camera-catches of Senators who don’t know they’re on film.. And while I cannot say for sure that “you lie” was a good moment in our brief American history, it sure made a lot of people talk, didn’t it? We like fanfare. I guess we like spectacle. And the State of the Union is just that: Spectacle.
So keep reading. And please keep pointing our contradictions. I love it.
