Politic Off:
I’ve been thinking nothing but politics for the better part of a month. Now it’s time to stop. I handed my book in on Monday, putting to a relative end two years of work. I’ve seen the cover. It’s going to look great.
Bush won. There’s nothing I can do about that. I will be ready to hold his feet to the fire, to question him at every turn, and to rejoin to regain Congress in 2006. In the meantime, I’m thinking I’m going to write Terry McAuliffe a letter saying what I think is wrong with the Democratic party and how it can change. It’ll probably do nothing. But it will make me feel good.
Life will go on, here in San Francisco, in the rest of the nation and here, next to my fireplace with Suzan and Faygo. I’ve been neglecting many of the things I love about this life to focus my energies on the election. Now that it’s over, it’s time to bring them home.
So more art, more culture, more books and music around these parts for the forseeable future. I’m scaling back on work this month to give myself a much needed break. But I’ll still be blogging because I love writing and I love talking to all of you.

That’s the spirit. Chin up, Yanks! With a Republican congress and senate, it would have been well nigh impossible for Kerry to actually change much anyway. It looks like things will have to get worse before they get better, but we all still have much to be grateful for, and I’m glad you can see that, too. Who was it that said, “Living well is the best revenge”? Oscar Wilde, I think.
Great news about finishing the book. So when will it be possible to get my grubby hands on it?

Book comes out June 1. Not soon enough.

Great minds think alike. I’m taking a 1 month hiatus from politics. Now’s the time to do it. Unless Rehnquist steps down from the Supreme Court tommorrow, don’t expect any big political stories for a while.
Go to the theater, read great books, attend an art opening, go volunteer, go camping. Then when you come back, you’ll realize just how superficial political coverage really is.
