Yet ANOTHER BGO - I'm party-less

after waiting in vain nearly five years for real leadership to emerge in the democratic party and hoping, again in vain, that katrina would be the kick in the pants needed to finally shake the dems out of their torpor, i had the sudden realization that, at this most critical time in the united states, there isn't a viable political party that represents my liberal, progressive, reality-based interests... howard dean's run at the democratic presidential nomination was the most encouraging sign i'd seen in years but now that he's toiling in the trenches (and hopefully accomplishing something although it's far from clear that's the case), i see nothing out there that even faintly resembles national democratic leadership... if it wasn't for the great, wonderful, sanity-preserving presence of my fellow bloggers, i would be feeling desperately alone... with outrage after outrage flowing from the white house like a river of shit, i'm suffering from "outrage fatigue," exacerbated by the fact that there's seemingly no one with the power and influence to change things that's actually doing anything... i want to move past being outraged... it's time for something to be done... but what might that be...? i don't know... but i do know this - don't look to the dems...

these pesky "blinding glimpses of the obvious" are hard on the psyche... this is two in one week...
