"Closing In" (politics)

part of an email I received this afternoon...(a pretty good analysis, I think)

"For the record, I can’t say I don’t feel a little bad for Hillary, I didn’t expect her to take such a beating this early in the primaries. I do believe that sexism is still prevalent in this country and I hope voters can get beyond that and give each candidate a fair chance. So far, I think her people have been running a negative and ineffective campaign. My support for Obama is based on my belief that he has way better odds of winning the general election than Hillary, and also I think he can unite the country better. Hillary has always been a credible, viable candidate and I think she has been treated unfairly by the press and media for a long time now. It’s just bad timing for her. People want a change: a President with a different last name, who most importantly, can bring the two parties and the country together. Perhaps, so far, Obama is nothing but a fancy, commanding speaker with remarkable oratory skills, and maybe his message of optimism and change could really prove to be just style without substance-- But it just doesn’t feel that way. I think the phenomenon is real. It’s Independents that will be deciding this election, and I don’t see a strong showing of Independent voters swinging to the Hilary camp. I could be wrong, but it looks as though Obama is destined to be the next President. I don’t see any major Republican candidate who has a chance against Obama. Really, imagine a Romney versus Obama campaign… Any Republican will get smoked! So, we’ll see how things go tonight. It will be interesting…"

Miraculously, He's still here!?

Today, in the Washington Post, George McGovern an 85 year old lifelong political figure, decided to speak out on his opinion of the Bush/Cheney regime. More specifically, calling on their impeachment (something that does not get enough press, if you ask me). McGovern has written a clear and coherent argument, outlining the obvious, that Bush and Cheney have committed plenty of "high crimes and misdemeanors" to be impeached. Apparently that is the language of the Constitution in calling for an impeachment. I understand that everyone is totally over this argument and perhaps sees it as senseless to even talk about, but it is the damn truth. Bush broke laws. Many laws. He needs to just move back to Texas and retire in shame for all the bad he did. Whatever, I'm over it. im dleeting this stupid post.

Here is the piece from the Post (if it loads properly).

*Again, sorry, this never gets old to me. It's as clear as daylight though.

best


This was from the New Year's Eve webcast. (Oh, and about that list of best music for 07', forget about it, Radiohead's album shot straight to number 1 once I saw how perfectly they can recreate their latest music live). Still, perhaps, the best band on the planet. No?

Skateboarding. Still awesome!


Whew!
