The most boring thing about "lefties" (a term I almost never use personally) is the endless self-obsession. That and the endless obsession with PRINT media (which is on its face considered boring by a large population).

Then there's the boring people who bore with boring talk about how boring the boring talk about boring leftists is . . .

'Cause we were never being boring

We had too much time to find for ourselves

And we were never being boring

We dressed up and fought, then thought: "Make amends"

And we were never holding back or worried that

Time would come to an end

We were always hoping that, looking back

You could always rely on a friend
