Party time
For the first time, I’ve officially joined a political party. It took a lot of goading from my fiance Kelly, and even the threat of her surreptiously registering me as a Democrat. However, now that it’s done, I have to admit I feel a little better about it. My disgust of the two major parties is now officially on the books.
