I personally decided I'm going to avoid political discussion for a

these days.
 But, not if you're a news site, apparently!  My RSS reader shows that on
the NYTimes newsfeed, 12 of 28 articles currently on deck are about the
president-elect.  If I filtered, nearly half the feed would disappear.
 Don't let them fool you: the mainstream news is thrilled they have a
chance to sell papers via outrage.  They did great the last time around.
 Me, I'm going to turn my attention to other things for a while.

Hear, hear!
I'm over the political crap-show, and I'm quite glad the political mailers and phone calls have stopped.  Now for all the jerks who put out political lawn signs along the side of the highway to come collect their rubbish.
