I am an ethnic Pennsylvanian.
That may not make much sense to most people, but it does to me. This statement goes to the core of what ethnicity is and the strange fascination we have with it here in North America.

Who Ya Know
I like to think I’ve found the secret to life.
I realize that’s rather arrogant, so bear with me for a while. If you’ve read my blog for any length of time, you’ll know that I’m prone to grandious statements and deep subjects. By doing this I’m trying to provoke people to think outside of the constraints their everyday lives have clamped on their thinking.
Repo Voting
Elections are turned on who shows up. A low turnout usually favors the more conservative candidate for a variety of reasons, so it’s up to the left to get people to the polls. For this reason, a Get Out The Vote (GOTV) strategy is an essential part of any Democrat’s campaign.
Sun
There is no force greater in our lives. Every morning the sun rises, the alarm goes off, and we crawl into the bathroom to start a new day refreshed. The earth has turned us towards the morning once again. We are having our first sunny day in a week.
Starving Artists
The image of a struggling artist is a powerful one in Western culture. Many people believe it is an artist’s lot to starve, and more importantly that depravation is an important part of the creative process. In this view, great art has a life of its own that comes from the birthing pains of anguish. An artist is must suffer to create works that will endure, because great art is born from torment and strife.
What a load of horseshit.
