i feel as if the election has shaken the web out of its digital shoes. everywhere i go there are sites which have not been updated in days, or which alternately are filled with links about emigration. i for one made a pact with myself that no matter the result, i wanted a reprieve, and would do my best to not seek out bad news, but rather, simply take a gander at it when i happened upon it. i still intend to do that, however, in amidst the internet wreckage i came across what i thought was an interesting bit of analysis. a book, offered free online, called the great divide. it’s about the cultural and political landscape we find ourselves in, but at bottom it’s a recommendation for better marketing and “stateegery” to get the democratic party back in the game. it may be simplistic in certain ways (separating the country into two camps retro and metro) but it still rings true, and i found much of it very interesting. there’s lot’s of other stuff worth checking out at the site as well. give it a look.
