Which Reminds Me

I never was involved in any presidential campaign, so it is hard for me to understand all this chatter about presidential campaigns. The one time that I called to volunteer my services, the party did not want me. Ok, so, fine, I can take a clue. I am a registered Independent now. Parties are not my friend. Parties are political machineries that have their job to do, but apparently I don't fit in their schemata. There is no place for my in the Party Animal zoo. Ok, fine. I can take a hint. So why all this beating on a dead horse? I really don't see the point.
