Apologies

Earlier today I wrote a post about tommorow's election that upon rereading it felt much more like a screed against Republicans than any rational comment. Sincere apologies to anybody who might have read it and been offended. In a previous life I was a failed political blogger, and one of the reasons I stopped regularly writing about politics was because a subject so abstract is all too easy to allow raw emotion to substitute for real analysis. Politics, like music or any other subject worth studying, is only 1% feeling. The rest is nothing but detailed analysis, and the deeper you burrow into the subject, the more mature your feelings become.
