high anxiety

it's saturday. the election is tuesday. i can't stop reading blogs: huffington post, the daily kos, talking points memo, politico and a new one to my list, filled with incomprehensible statistics, called fivethirtyeight.

so this is too much information and i keep trying to read the future in them like they are tea leaves, or the guts of some sacrificed animal. and of course i can't read the future, so i find myself agitated and worried.

there should be a name for this.

democrat-anxiety-syndrome.

pre-election traumatic disorder.

obsessive-polltracker disorder.

And now you've got that agonising wait for the moment at which Obama first disappoints...

yep. even while he gave his acceptance speech, i thought, wow, you are never going to be able to live up to everyone's expectations. not unless you walk on water, heal the sick, feed the poor and bless the children!
