CCBlogs thinking critically, living faithfully

Gordon Atkinson's blog

I've always steered clear of politics at my blog. Not because ministers shouldn't talk about politics. We're citizens too. We have the right and the responsibility to consider government and its implications. But I've had enough headaches and heartaches dealing with people who are angered or bothered by my theology and approach to the Bible. I don't have a lot of emotional energy left for politics.

But this has been a fascinating season for our country, has it not? Voter turnout is expected to set records. I always vote early, and this year we've had lines every day. I can't imagine how crowded it will be on Tuesday.

I think I've had enough political hype and finger pointing. And I'm from Texas, a state so red that neither party even bothers to run commercials. I've gotten my fill of over-simplified grandstanding just from watching CNN. So perhaps I was in the right frame of mind to be quite amused by the following video. You'll like it too, if you're ridiculously over-educated, as many people in this network are.

Hat tip to James McGrath by way of Bob Cornwall.
