Here’s my new routine, debate style. Fire up my computer, fire up the TV, Twitter, watch, watch CurrentTV, read political weblogs, watch videos on people’s weblogs and twitters, watch CNN, watch MSNBC, slip in Lehrer if M. leaves the room and remote, watch more, read more.

I’m on information overload. I even read Maureen Dowd today. I normally don’t dig her schtick much, but I think we all need to remember her closer, “True mavericks don’t brand themselves.”

Although, that might presuppose those guys using a dictionary. Amusingly, my latest read in the weblogosphere, because it’s going to be my hometown news, threw out this post and link. Apparently the actual Mavericks, the descendants, are going for Obama and hating on the misuse of the family legacy.

And, while the rhetorical overkill is bringing me down, reliable Donna Brazile provides a reminder of what’s important. Watch her closing at the New Yorker Festival.

Apart from the presidential thang, I’ll be keeping the uplift in mind while striking down California’s proposed gay marriage ban.
