So, I have to confess: I can’t find my Muse. Yes, I’m sick and tired over some RL crap that won’t go away, but it’s deeper than that. And I’m not sure exactly why. I keep driving back the little voice, that is so loud and obnoxious sometimes when I’m doing the standard political surfing. She says, “you know you just don’t care about this shit anymore.”
It may come from the horrible primary bullshit that won’t die. It may come from my inability to find affordable health care. It may come from the crushing burden of caring for those for whom no one else will care for, and which my moral values demand that I do. I guess I’m just not sure. Old Timers: is this normal? In the midst of a “hot” political season like we’re having now? All I seem to want to think about is sex with Jewish grrls and my flowers. I feel guilty, lazy, untalented, stoopid, etc.
I think most of you here grok it, even if you express it differently. HRC wasn’t my choice, but I can share with all of you my many fears about what a BHO admin will really mean, bring, create, destroy, etc. Just as I have disdain for his supporters who can’t call- no, I won’t go there. So where should the energy go, or rather, where is it to be found so I can get it back? I crapped out of supporting Harry and Nancy shortly after our Glorious Victory of 06, and I haven’t been sorry about that, those lying fuckwads. These days, my answer to ennui over national politics is “local, local, local.” It’s working, but at the same time, not as satisfying. Anyway, I’m rambling as I’m on the verge of a major migraine and about to go to sleep to fight it off. But I’m wondering, am I alone? So much of what I read on today’s intertubes seems so transient, so fake, so much not of the moment that matters to people who eat food and breathe air. Or, it could just be summer. What do you think?
Are there any limits to what can be said about political opponents? Should there be any limits? Does anything go, no matter who is the target? Are we all no better now than Karl Rove? Read more
This comment is showing up in moderation queues throughout the Hillary-supporting blogosphere:
When I watched her speech this morning, I felt something genuine in her voice. When she talked about dedicating her life to making America a better place, you could tell that was her deepest conviction.
She seemed a little hesitant endorsing Obama, but she also seemed very confident when she said we cannot afford to allow the Republicans to hold The White House for another 4 years or more.
In the end, I think Hillary’s decision to support Obama was what she feels is the best course for our country to follow. I’ve supported her so far, so there’s no reason for me to doubt her now.
Let’s take back The White House for the Democrats and make America a better place.
Har! The name attached to the comment is different depending on the blog; the pattern seems to be to choose the name of a regular commenter.
Given that, beyond any doubt whatsoever, Hillary Clinton Uttered the Most Dangerous and Hurtful Comment Ever Made, one that could crush the spirit of a nation and inspire race-based political murders….
Was it a particularly good idea for the MSM and the Obama camp to take that statement, which was uttered in an obscure newsroom, and make it the Nightmare Invoked ’Round the World?
Now that reluctant media critic Howard Kurtz has returned from the long weekend, he’s crawling through the lekkage.
He marvels at the assassination-gate feeding frenzy, citing some of the relevant debunkings.
Still, like all Villagers, he can’t keep from feeding the beast a little, making Hillary ultimately responsible for starting the fire, even if he considers the four-alarm response disproportional. Read more
The “liberal” who makes you wish Pat Buchanan got more airtime speaks:
I think that it makes you think that it would be very awkward for a vice president to be on a ticket—for a vice presidential candidate to be on a presidential candidate’s ticket after she’s made repeated references to his potential death. Yes, that would be weird.
Hillary Clinton is the pinata of politics, she’s such a despicable creature that nobody bats an eye when she’s ridiculed, criticized or condemned. This is not a perfect analogy, a pinata is a brightly-colored paper container filled with sweets and/or toys and Hillary is a dour and bitter woman filled with arrogance, spite, jealousy and all manner of evil.
A pinata does nothing to deserve its horrible fate; we can’t help but feel a tinge of sorrow when we see its shattered remains. But Hillary is so evil that most folks figure she had it coming when pundits and comics tear her apart. Read more
Thus sayeth blogger “Desperado” on the Houston Chronicle’s blog:
In my opinion, her intentions were crystal clear, to say that she needs to stay in the race in case some tragedy befalls Barack Obama.
The superdelegates need to convene NOW, not May 31 or June 3, TODAY. They need to throw their unanimous support behind Barack Obama as the Democratic nominee and put and end to this process NOW. They must rid their Party of the cancer that is Hillary Clinton before it spreads any further. Not just for the good of the Democratic Party, but for the country as a whole. Read more
HILLARY Clinton has lost it. Her gaffe at the weekend that seemed to imply she’s staying in the race because her rival Barack Obama might be assassinated is one of the bigger blunders ever witnessed in a US presidential campaign.
…
How many nutjobs in the US, wrestling their demons, now might actually think Clinton was talking to them when referencing the Kennedy assassination, perhaps believing she was sending them a message and finding in them some kind of endorsement?
Huffington Post is still huffing and posting about Hillary Clinton’s scandalous reference to “June,” a racially charged trigger word inexorably linked to the Cleaver family.
Yale professor David Bromwich’s huffy post today is so suffused with FITH Syndrome that an excerpt simply could not do it justice.
But here’s something you can do for justice…

My blog bookmark listing is getting thinner every day. That goes along with the shrinking respect I had for some bloggers in the past. Boy has this primary been a reality check. Here is someone who used to be one of my favorite bloggers, Hilzoy, subbing for Kevin Drum at the Washington Monthly : Read more
This afternoon, Barack Obama responded to Hillary Clinton’s comments yesterday when she referenced th assassination of Robert F. Kennedy as a reason she’s staying in the race this year. Obama said he believes that Clinton was not trying to be offensive.
“I have learned that when you are campaigning for as many months as Senator Clinton and I have been campaigning, sometimes you get careless in terms of the statements that you make and I think that is what happened here,” Obama said in a radio interview today.
“Senator Clinton says that she did not intend any offense by it and I will take her at her word on that.” Read more
Ah, the NYT is the epitome of accuracy in journalism:
Then in March 2004, Mr. Obama’s political and literary fortunes abruptly shifted. His victory in a tightly contested United States Senate primary in Illinois made him an overnight Democratic Party sensation.
“Tightly contested?” From Wikipedia:
In early media polls leading up to the March 16, 2004 primary election, [Blair] Hull enjoyed a substantial lead and widespread name recognition resulting from a well-financed advertisement effort. He contributed over $28 million of his personal wealth for the campaign.
When allegations that Hull had abused his ex-wife were made by the media, Hull’s poll numbers dropped and he failed to win the nomination. Illinois State Senator Barack Obama later became the nominee.
Obama finished 29 points ahead of the second place primary finisher. Then he cake-walked in the general against Alan Keyes after Jack Ryan withdrew from the race following disclosure of divorce records containing politically embarrassing charges by his ex-wife. Read more
Former journalist turned Obama shill Walter Shapiro gives us a top contender for the dumbest quote ever in a campaign filled with dumb quotes:
The Tuesday night story line never varies: Hillary Clinton wins a primary (Pennsylvania, Indiana, West Virginia and Kentucky) and then, bizarrely enough, continues to behave as if she were a realistic candidate for president.
WTF?
Gee Walt, I could see your point if she kept losing, but she’s WINNING!
Now maybe it’s too little, too late, but Obama hasn’t locked up the nomination yet.
BTW - Let’s not forget Texas and Ohio, and all the states she won on Super Duper Tuesday.

I respect Hillary a great deal and think she’d make a terrific president. But I’m for Obama and I think you have to ask yourself, if the roles were reversed and Hillary was out ahead in the delegate count (not to mention the superdelegate count) and Barack was trying to get the delegates from MI and FL seated, do you honestly think she’d let them be seated?? You’ve got to be kidding me. She’d do the same exact thing he’s doing, which is well within the rules the DNC established. To me, this proves Obama’s political savvy.

How quickly we forget. Remember when proof of Obama’s crossover appeal was his win in Elko, NV:
Obama’s strength in rural Nevada speaks to the breadth of his appeal and to his campaign’s organizing efforts in Republican strongholds that Nevada’s Democratic Party has traditionally written off…
“What they found is that people in rural areas see themselves in Barack Obama. They see him as a true American success story. They see him as representing something new and fresh.”…
Haven’t heard about Elko much these days. I wonder why? Read more
…is Listen. Listen to what people say, and not what you think or want to hear. Listen to those who present facts, instead of believing in fantasy and fiction that makes you feel fuzzy inside. Hear the voices of those who aren’t like you, who belong to groups and have “identities” different than your own. Or, you can stick your head in the sand, and pretend like Chimpy does: that your feelings influence the shape of the universe. They do, but not in any way that makes a difference.
No, this post isn’t about HRC supporters. It’s about the fucking blogosphere, which at this point, I’m really, really close to being done with, forever. Why am I so angry/depressed/bitchy? Well, partly because I’m on the rag and sick of having back pain and cramps. But also, because I’ve realized: some of our “friends” aren’t really our friends, but overly emotional, live-for-teevee stories, ’not in my backyard,’ put it off until later, “I just don’t want to think about that now,” Scarlett O’Haras. Seriously, it’s sickening. Or: I’m an idiot, for believing that “liberal” and “progressive” Americans are any different from the other kind, and have the ability to think critically, and dispassionately. Obviously (to me) a lot of us don’t.
This bitterness is the direct result of two things. A: Reading how people at the Crack Den get all excited about Edwards stumping for Obama, when they couldn’t be bothered to hear him (Edwards) when he still had a chance. As I told a friend recently, if this gay, black, extremely well-educated and politically experienced radical gets behind a Str8 Southern White Xtian male, don’t you think there are some good fucking reasons for it? The other reason I’m pissed is because no matter how fucking nice I am, how often I reign in the cursing, sex talk, or other ’coarse’ kinds of discourse, some people still can’t seem to understand: I am my own woman, my own independent person. I think for myself. I don’t let other people tell me what to think. I’m not alone; many in the blogosphere, many less popular or well known but still pretty bright people, are also thus. Try it some time, instead of letting a “liberal hero” on teevee tell you for whom you should vote, and what should make you mad.
Words do matter. Actions matter even more. You can judge people by what they do, have done, say they will do. It’s important to pay attention to all expressed words, when it comes to judging where people stand politically. If that’s too hard for you, go back to elementary school. A private one, I guess; public schools are worse than useless in terms of education these days, for the most part. But for fuck’s sake, recognize when your mind is being directed and controlled by other people, other people who have the sole mission in life to fuck you out of your time, freedoms, and money. If I critique a candidate, it’s because there is a reason. Unlike some, who seem to do so only for the thrill of pissing other people off and getting attention directed at them, like children in a sandbox with a handful of catshit. It’s pathetic and part of the reason that despite ~80% of the country feeling that “we’re on the wrong track” and “Republicans don’t have the solutions,” McCentury still has more than a fighting chance of winning this fall.
Democrats: their own worst enemies. Still, and perhaps Always. Sigh.
Like you probably do, I get a lot of emails from folks who don’t, um, really understand what I think about politics but know I have an interest and want to share what they find funny. I suppose these guys are “famous;” they seem to have a lot of YouTubes and it looks semi-professional and/or backed with Republican welfare money. Anyway, I thought this was actually very interesting.
Crude as it is, I have only one thing to add: I’ve spoken with ~15 people this month on their choice of Dem candidates: my plumber, a couple of my neighbors, some folks at the grocery store. I’m chatty and curious like that, and I’m also struck by the theme I have heard from 14 of that group (yes, I have been counting). Read more
