Politics (and why I hate them)

Normally I try to stay out of politics as a discussion. I especially try to stay out of Nebraska politics because most of it isn't worth the time to form an opinion. But yesterday brought about the most ridiculous thing I've seen in politics in a long time. In fact, so ridiculous that even Jay Leno (and I'm sure others) felt the need to weigh in last night.

In case you missed it, you can read the entire thing here, how the entire media establishment showed up in Omaha yesterday for a NON-announcement from Nebraska senator Chuck Hagel. I don't really care if he runs or not, I wouldn't vote for him anyway - and the more fractured the GOP is between candidates the happier I am. Even if he were to run as an independent, I couldn't bring myself to vote for him.

My question is this - why did he find it necessary to make such a big freakin deal out of not announcing anything? I think it made him (and Nebraska by default) look idiotic. One radio station in Omaha was talking about the carbon footprint left behind by the sea of camera trucks and the surge of the media - for absolutely nothing!

So thanks for nothing Senator Hagel.
