Dull Days at STR

Summertime, and the living is easy.

But not really so much for a writer with writer's block. There doesn't appear to be anything particularly exciting happening right now. The Michigan primaries are a slight three weeks away yet none of the GOP hopefuls elicit any great passion. Perhaps the Tea Party favorite, Miller, is it, should he win may inject at least a tone of importance to the race in November. But that is not now.

The Democratic primary is a bit more worth watching, as the unions attempt to show they are still a political force by putting their money behind Virg Bernero over Andy Dillon. Yet even that invokes little more than a yawn. Unions are through as a major player, and who really cares which Democrat wins in August?

Today is, of course, (of course!) Bastille Day, which is sort of France's Independence Day. Yet that is only memorable as it was the last time the French were actually up in arms about anything, and they blew that chance at worthwhile reform by setting the stage for Napoleon's rise. That does seem something deserving of remembrance.

So tomorrow is another day, and perhaps greater things will come of this world and from this computer by then. Hopefully there will be a few comments from incensed commenters which shall inspire a topic. Until, then, adieu.

Might as well inject a tiny bit of France into the day, right?
