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Bush has also helped out by making an insane historical reference.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.
