Communication.
It is interesting. Today McCain criticized Obama for wanting to talk to Iran and Hamas. That would weaken us, it would lead to disaster. Obama called McCain's approach a continuation of the failed policies that the Bush administration has subjected America to for eight years. God forbid that we actually reach out to those in opposition to us and attempt to communicate, that is just fucking crazy. So why not refuse to negotiate and secretly concoct plans to utilize military and terrorist tactics against the terrorists. Now THAT sounds sensible. The insanity is in full bloom. Watching McCain calmly describe how he will keep America safe by sending it's people to die for a vague sense of threat should be enough to seal his fate in November. If he wins we deserve everything we get.
McCain is the greedy Croatian neighbor. In Zagreb a group of apartment dwellers got together and decided to break into an apartment owned by an old woman. They decided that they should have it and rather than take a legal recourse to discuss the situation or talk to her directly they broke in to discover her dead body. She had died in 1973. She died when apartments were state owned and the world was a much different place. Authorities say that her windows had been open, perhaps why no one smelled anything. She was mummified and her neighbors, after calling the police, stated that they should get to divide up the apartment since it was owned by no one. Both stories pulled from today's news.
The world is that apartment and old woman. America is the greedy neighbors. As of right now that is. If we elect McCain we are gonna keep raiding for no justifiable reason for no real gain. It is very simple and very moral to understand this. We need to talk with the world and engage it. We are failing as a nation and the best way to recover is to reach out. Ciao.
Thank you Mr. Edwards!
Before I launch into my political screed I would like to take a moment to talk about the death of Megan Meier, the 13 year old Missouri girl who killed herself due to myspace harassment by an ex-friend and that friend's insane family. The mother is going to court and could face 5 years in jail. The awful actions undertaken by these inbred idiots - the type I know all too well - looked as if they would go unpunished, we don't yet have laws designed to specifically address them. Yet, the lawyers and prosecutors in L.A. managed to use laws designed to punish hackers to get a solid case built. For once the system appears to have the fluidity and conscience needed to maintain civil society. Kudos to them and shame on Missouri prosecutors who said they couldn't build a case. Dumbshits.
Now to more good news. Edwards has pledged his support to Obama. That means that a large chunk of his delegates will go to Obama and perhaps end this insanity. Edwards' endorsement was eloquent, inspiring and gives me great hope that Obama has this thing locked down. Clinton has vowed to soldier on despite the fact that she trails in all categories and is running her campaign on a deficit budget. Do we really want another strident egoist with no economic savvy running the show? Another huge boost for Obama's chances in the General Election was McCain's announcement for a withdrawal from Iraq by 2013. Wow, he'll be dead before that happens and that is probably why he chose a time so far out on the calendar.
Bush has also helped out by making an insane historical reference. He said that talking with terrorist groups - like Hamas - is the same as the British appeasement of the Nazis in 1939. He is in Israel right now working on a peace initiative that is so secret that no one even knows what the fuck it about. But, by God, never talk to the opposing side or even let the public know what the hell in going on. It is all to the good for Obama. The more insane and destructive Bush appears the less of a chance McCain is going to have convincing swing voters that HE isn't insane with is own no-negotiation-keeping-the-war-going agenda. Good to be back - Ciao.
Nada.
That's it . . . long assed day, something tomorrow - perhaps. Ciao.
