Clem Checks In

Really amusing, thoughtful bit on "Clem's Place" blog regarding the painful awkwardness of being politically homeless... Here's a snip from it:

We wanted to start a whole new political concept. The old continuum from liberal to conservative was too uncomfortable, like being in a shooting war as an enemy and an ally of both sides. We tried for years to carry on the battle from between the armies in no man's land but got awfully tired of fighting the flack shot by both sides. It was like being caught in the center of a Chicago street with two rival gangs trying to even a score neither side could really add up.
