I've just had the depressing realization that without Jon and Stephen, my interest in politics has plummeted to nearly zero.
Which actually makes sense, given that I was pretty apolitical when Jon took over TDS. It was really his tenure on the show that got me interested in politics again, which I'd lost since I left Santa Cruz, and even living there in the early 90's, it was local rather than national that interested me. Having Jon, and then Stephen, as guides made it all worth paying attention to, but now that they're gone, it's all just a bunch of fucking white guys yelling at each other again. When they're not yelling at each other, they're bullying the rest of us, and I just can't be bothered.
*sigh*
