This blog is overrated.

You don’t have time to blog, and you don’t have time to blog, and then it’s been three, four months and whatever you do come up with has to be amazing.

Well, I don’t have anything amazing. Still hanging out in Naptown, A-to-the-first-power, Ace Ace, whatever you want to call it. Navy destroyed Army Saturday.

Haven’t had much time to read any blogs, and Metafilter would usually be the first one I’d cut. But the awesomeness of this comment, in response to the Chicago factory takeover, made me want to blog again:

I know, I know, history is always written by the winners. That doesn’t mean that this sort of civil disobedience doesn’t mean anything. I was always disappointed in high school history classes that strikes and riots were treated like flukes, like something that happened to the fatcats we studied. We were forced to memorize their birth and biographies and death dates. They made us identify with the Carnegies and the Morgans as though they, not us, were the ones we should identify with.

What would our culture be like if we’d been taught that the fatcats were something that periodically happened to us and should be shrugged off?

Blagojevich may have some ethical problems, but sometimes he kind of rules. And hey — someone should start an Illinois politics blog called “Rod Blogojevich.”
