Bodysnatchers

Okay, this may or may not be a spiritual issue, but all I can do lately is either

1. Think about the election and read and re-read all the poll reports, analysis, and punditry, and get irritated by how, with the amount of spin on both sides of the race I am reduced to discerning the amount of hidden fear in a campaign manager's voice to determine how well the candidates did in a debate.

(I watched the second debate, but had pretty much already heard everything that was said)

OR

2. Avoid thinking about the election because of all the horrible things that will happen if Bush does get re-elected. Which, cynical as I am, I think is pretty likely. He is the incumbent, after all.

Is anyone else finding themselves doing meaningless repetitive mind-obliterating tasks lately?
