I'm not really into politics, never really have been. I don't know if it's because I think the process is annoying and pointless or if it's because the whole damn thing is pretty boring.

However, I do still like shows and movies about politics, i.e., West Wing (make fun of me if you want) but I will still watch the reruns on Bravo. Before I left for work yesterday morning I noticed the network was doing a West Wing marathon. Because of work I couldn't watch it. I did joke with my boss about taking off so I could though. So, when I got home and it was over, I was a bit disappointed. I then spent the next, I don't know, say 30 minutes wondering who would win a presidential election, on TV or for real, between Martin Sheen or Fred Thompson.

Martin Sheen does have experience playing a president on TV and he was faced with some difficult situations. However, Fred Thompson does have experience as a real senator. But I couldn't tell you what, if anything, he ever accomplished. I decided that if Martin Sheen surrounded himself with the writing staff of West Wing, he would win. And probably motivate me enough to pay attention to politics.
