Concerning Life as It Is Supposed to Be

In Praise of Dullness

Really, someday I want to explain the title of this blog. For now, I found the conclusion of a David Brooks column in the NY Times, as he reflects upon the qualities of Barak Obama, speaking a word in praise of dullness.

We can each guess how the story ends. But over the past two years, Obama has clearly worn well with voters. Far from a celebrity fad, he is self-contained, self-controlled and maybe even a little dull.

    While we’re praising dullness, let’s all go out and vote for dullness–early voting starts today, so go out and vote it, while you were just inspired by it! ๐Ÿ™‚

    This was a post in praise of dullness, not in praise of all of those who manifest that trait! I think one should perhaps factor in a man’s and a party’s stated policies, don’t you think? ๐Ÿ™‚

    Rebekah, I’m passing over the dullness this year for a bit more passion. *wink*
