OCD
One of my friends sent me a transcript of a speech from Mario Cuomo, which is what sparked that little tirade regarding judicial filibusters.
It's not that I am a complete political junkie, it's more like I binge on it. I can go a few days without any politics whatsoever, and then I just immerse myself for a day, and it's all I can think about or write about, or talk about. I'm sure it's an unhealthy pre-occupation, but it's similar to when some of my buddies know the slugging percentages for every Cardinal player. I tend to know the stats about Yalta, or who was the House Majority Whip in 1896, or why didn't the US ratify the Kyoto protocol.
I can't help it.
