Facebook becomes political

For me, at least.

So I always thought of Facebook as a place where I can go and visit with my friends, such as they are (by that, I mean the number, not the quality).

Now that the political season is upon us, I'm getting pressure! Whoa, become a fan of one person's candidacy, become 'friends' with another candidate.

Well I sure can't have two candidates as friends and not any of the others, right?

So welcome to my new friend on Facebook, City Council President James Shanley.

This serves as a disclaimer to a new "relationship" that I have with a candidate for public office.
