whilst trying to understand politics I spent 10 bucks betting on this or that thing. Took me 2 months to lose my 10 bucks. It was, as far as I am concerned, an educational experience which I have not repeated.
What it taught me is that it was fine to think that this or that political thing was going to do whatever but the simple fact was that I am more wrong than right on the reality of stuff political.
Often, for instance, the Dems will do something that I didn't think was possible. Those on the other side, however, rarely ever seem to let me down.
Still, politics are interesting and, as a wishful thinker, gives me a lot of chances to vent. It comes very close to blah, blah, blah.
