DC's favorite sport <i>is</i> politics, you know? And thank you so much for the kind words - I'm always glad to know that my way of coping with the offseason is helping someone else do the same! I'll think about re-posting that list, it's one of my favorites too ;) PP: We have the burden of national politics being in our backyard, unfortunately. It's a fascinating place (to put it one way :P). And does GMGM have anything up his sleeve? Ha! Of course he does! We haven't heard any rumors, so something must be going on. Andi: Sorry!! I was trying to make the point that politics don't belong on a hockey blog and...failed. Clearly. Back to hockey, I promise! Kaat: <i>I</i> was looking for you yesterday but <i>someone</i> was too good to come online and talk to me! :P And there ain't nothing fair about taxes... Wahhh: You know, I shouldn't even respond to such a dumb comment because clearly you didn't even read the post...but I can never resist. Sorry, big guy - just because I'm a woman doesn't mean I was supporting Hillary. Thanks for trying, though! Super: So true. DC’s favorite sport is politics, you know?

So talking politics is how I actually get you to talk to me, my friend. I see. What if I brought up the Fair Tax. Would you get back with me then? Hmmm? ;-) Oh!

I didn't get to post this in my prior entry, but I really do appreciate all of the work you do on your site. you are really helping me deal with the time between now and puck drop. You could also between now and then re-post 64 Things to Do During the Offseason '07. That was so satisfying last year, and some people may not have had the chance to enjoy it. It was genius. Thanks again. Super @ CapsChick,

Then yes, I do agree - politics don't belong in this kind of setting. That was pretty much what I was going for, actually. Although I can see how doing a post on a hockey blog...about not posting about politics on a hockey blog...could undermine the point a little ;) Anyway. Yes. I'm done, too. And October 11?? Please! I can't wait until September 20th! We should not have this much free time to talk about non-hockey things, right? Ah, sorry about that!

JJ: Sorry about that! If it makes you feel any better it was traumatic to make, too ;) Eric: I might have been a little less snarky had we been talking about - as you so nicely put it - a "left wing loon", sure. But I assure you that the sentiment would have been the same no matter what the party affiliation was. Sorry to burst your bubble! PP: Well, I personally would be very upset if they did win - however, that's not what this post was about. As I mentioned above, I might have been a little nicer to Ms. Palin if I agreed with her on anything at all but the general idea of the post would have been the same. And I have to respectfully disagree with you on one thing - if there's anything worth getting upset about, it's something like politics that affects our life and the reputation of our country. The problems are caused when people aren't willing to accept that not everyone agrees with them...and I fully understand that there are some out there who disagree with my political views, and that's fine. Basically, regardless of how this election turns out? You won't see a hint of it on this blog. That's the way I think it should be.
