On not caring

I gave up news media for Lent this year, as I have done for a number of years now.

The odd thing is that I've been back at it for a few weeks now and I just don't care. I don't blog about politics so I won't go into details, but I am amazed at how very little politics matter to me anymore. I care about the results of politics, I know what policies I want to see succeed and which ones I want to see fail.

But the spectacle of it. Keeping track of who is saying what and why suddenly just doesn't matter anymore. What is it about the current crop of politicians that makes them so insufferably boring?
