Withdrawal

I was a political news junkie for almost two years. Now that the election is over, I'm going through major withdrawal. Even NPR did a story about us. I used to come home late from campaign volunteering and I stayed up past midnight to read the latest blog posts on The Page and Swampland at Time.com, and The Caucus at NYTimes.com. I watched video clips from The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. I read through all of the postings on CNN's Political Ticker. I was hooked! I even read through the transcripts from The Newshour's David Brooks and Mark Shields news analysis segments. I went to work very tired but satisfied that I was fully informed for the day ahead.

Now, I'm a little bored by the every day news. Well, it's only 69 days until the Inauguration. I guess I can hold out until then.
