Is what we have been witnessing on television the new normal? Non-stop political babble, name-calling like junior high kids, who's up, who's down? Outside of political wonks, just who among us is any longer paying any attention? Maybe some Spout Off readers, but most of us have a life to live, bills to pay, kids to raise, etc. It's no longer every four years, but it just goes on and on, like a bad smoke alarm
