You know you're a political junkie if ...

If you know about the GOP kerfuffle over Obama's remark that America is “a little bit lazy” (which he didn't say), the latest poll about public perceptions about the Occupy Wall Street movement (approval is fading, maybe), or the fact that Newt Gingrich (who is allegedly "surging" in the polls) made between $1.6 million and $1.8 million in consulting fees from Freddie Mac (Newt said he was never, ever, a lobbyist -- oops), then you're definitely a political junkie in need of a life (like moi). Meanwhile, the rest of America, the "normal" majority, is either obsessed with the NBA lockout (millionaire players vs. billionaire owners) or Justin Bieber's paternity suit (which -- surprise! -- was just dropped). Hmm. Maybe being a political junkie is not so bad.
