A bizarre double life

At the GNU Public Dictatorship we are nothing if not above petty disputes and local politics, but there are times when we feel the need to talk about them, usually, as is the case now, to point out how bizarre and petty they become.  In the US state of Maine, the incumbent State Senator Tom Martin has adopted an interesting strategy to defeat his challenger, Colleen Lachowicz: make fun of her hobbies.  We have posted about the dangerous zero-sum nature of politics before, but this race takes it to a new level.  Rather than attacking Ms. Lachowicz's policies or principles, Mr. Martin has decided to attack her hobbies.  Ms. Lachowicz apparently likes to play the hugely popular on-line video game World of Warcraft, and Mr. Martin has decided that engaging in such a hobby amounts to a "bizarre double life."  We would like to make it clear that we do not support Mr. Martin or Ms. Lachowicz, and as we do not have diplomatic relations with the state of Maine we do not really have an interest in influencing the outcome of the race, but we do find it amusing that the race has degenerated into a question of whether engaging in a hobby that she shares with 12 million other world citizens (that's one in about five hundred world citizens) equals living a bizarre double life.  We wonder whether other common hobbies (such as watching certain television shows) might also be considered living a bizarre double life?

At the GNU Public Dictatorship we like the idea of doubling our support without actually doing anything, so if you do have a hobby that could be construed as leading a bizarre double life please let us know, so we can count you double on our list of supporters.  Oh, and if you engage in two hobbies that equal leading a bizarre double life, then we can count you as four supporters (even if three of them are bizarre)!
