Maybe it's the heat that has a major tech blogger babbling incoherencies about a fringe US political candidate. Everyone has to have some kind of political philosophy; the trouble is that it should not corrupt the mainline message of a themed web site.
You want to know something else? Political blogging has about as much impact as running a fan by an ice cream cone for air conditioning. Nobody who reads me for tech business opinion or current views on computer applications wants to read about my politics. Heck; I don't want to read about my politics. I'm no guru and you're not a follower. That's why I stopped posting the odd political piece here a long time ago.
The fastest way to marginalize years worth of great posting is to leave it alone. I cull and edit and weed from this site all the time. Growth is about change and thought. Written declamations posing as insights are jarring and disconnecting experiences.

Well said, my friend. Although, now based on Ethan's comment, I'll have to go do my own research as to to who prodded you ... ;-)

I wasn't sure who this was directed at, but through a weird fit of linking by another unrelated blog I put 2+2 together. (Not who I was expecting it to be.) I don't read that blogger, but buzzing through the front page there seem to be several posts relating in some way to politics. Not sure why/how the [fringe candidate] mention suddenly set off the off-topic-o-meter.
It's 2000 all over again: Nader Nader Nader! :-)
