Can you hear them yet? They’re coming whether you can or not. They are stealthily creeping into our unconscious, just enough to start a minor annoyance that almost, but not quite, rises to a conscious level. Come next year this time, though, they will be assaulting us on a daily basis in our newspapers, on our TVs, from our radios.
They are the candidates and their campaigns.
I don’t know when running for office became a full time occupation or when the next campaign started three days after an election. But that seems to be the point we have reached.
