According to webster.com, there's the following definition:

politics - 1 a : the art or science of government b : the art or science concerned with guiding or influencing governmental policy c : the art or science concerned with winning and holding control over a government

It's (c) that I really have a problem with. I don't like it, I don't enjoy it, and I wish I knew how we could get people in place for (a) and (b) above without it. I especially don't like politicking - to engage in often partisan political discussion or activity. Unfortunately, I know I'm really in for a lot of it this year.

Having said that, two things struck me today as worth sharing. I'm going to be merciful and post them here rather than forward them to people in email. :)

First, I saw this a couple of days ago, but I like that [livejournal.com profile] cvirtue has made this her .sig file. I think I may copy that use.

We can start a social experiment. Let's see how far we can get this to go!
Tell the pollsters, when they ask, "If the election was held tomorrow,
would you vote for Bush or Kerry?" -- your answer should be "I'd rather
vote for a rabid weasel than for Bush."
Do it. Spread the meme. I want to hear it come out of the mouth of a TV
newscaster on Fox News or CNN. Or on NPR. Or on Saturday Night Live.

Second, I enjoyed this list, though 5 through 2 are funnier than #1.
