In other news, I have filed my Declaration of Candidacy to run for the Democratic Party Central Committee for the 14th Assembly District. What's that? I am not completely sure, but if Loni Hancock is your rep, I sure could use your sig on my nominating papers. Here's what motivated me to undertake this campaign:
1. I am truly bored at work, and since I am not poised for a career change at the moment, I thought I'd throw myself into politics beyond reading political blogs obsessively.
2. Obama has, for the moment, convinced me that Tracy Flick and Clay Davis are not the only two kinds of politicians that can exist in this world. I think, maybe in the haze of the Kool-Aid, that I can participate in the process without betraying what I hope is my basically decent humanity. I trust all of you will call me to task if I go off track.
3. I am curious about it.
4. I need a challenge.
All right, my thumbs hurt.

Where's the "donate now" button?
Have you been following the return of former president Thaksin to Thailand to "clear his name"? He's a corrupt SOB who's also a "champion of the poor." I smell a Clay Davis.
Very exciting decision! I will head up the DCians for Andrea committee.
You could blend all your extracurricular interests and run for a judgeship in Mississippi. Added plus to your original list, I hear you can make some good money that way.
