Cliff Notes, Cantor Couldn’t Dept. (Update) 0

I haven’t had the time to look into the deal on not cliff jumping, but Bob Cesca, who functions in the not insane world, already has published his take.

I’m more interested in process than product (not that product isn’t important, mind, it’s a matter of analytical taste; perhaps that’s what attracted me to history and sociology when I was in school–if my school had given double majors, I would have had one, er, two, er, whatever).

And the process was clearly a win for sanity–Democrats by and large held together and Republicans did not.

Do not expect the incidence of Republican political vandalism, of mean for the sake of mean to diminish.

Addendum, Later That Same Morning:

Read Der Spiegel’s take on it. A nugget:

It’s not America itself that is ill, but rather a party. When one party in a two-party system begins to block everything, the outcome is predictable: the system falters and paralyzes itself.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
