frenetic ennui

So John Edwards it is. But you already knew that, because you've been reading the newspapers, trolling the blogs, staring dumbly at the television, snooping through your neighbor's trash, divining the droppings on your left front fender, conjuring up familiar spirits, or otherwise tuning into the zeitgeist.

How can someone simultaneously bring excitement to a campaign and be Mr. Dullsville von Claptrap? Oh, that's right, we're looking through those red-state blue-state 3-D glasses, that give us the whole accurate gospel-truth picture of American politics. Blue states apotheosize Edwards; red states think he's Captain Paisley. Or do we have it backwards? Ogden Nash, help us!

"The camel has a single hump;
the dromedary, two;
Or else the other way around.
I'm never sure. Are you?"

Okay, back to scrubbing the bathroom floor with hallucinogenic petrochemicals.
