I was falling for it — the name-calling, the feigned indignation, the party line. Politics. What a pain.

In an effort to make this space a little more salty, a little more sweet, a bit less sour, and a lot less bitter, I have decided not to write about politics for a while. Maybe a long while.

But what about umami, I hear you asking. Yes, I’m going for more umami too. Someone pass me the Accent. Better a little MSG than more of the he-said, she-said crap. Jon Carroll’s plea for a return to the issues played a part in my decision. The war of personalities is an irritating distraction; it belittles the entire process. I’m done with it.

I’ll still write about environmental issues, even if they nearly always have a political edge. The environment is the thing I really care about. If not for that, I’d be utterly apolitical, and happier for it.
