Madness, Madness

The tough, long, Bataan Death March to the Democratic Nomination (credit Jon Stewart & the Daily Show) is really starting to go off to a new level bat-shit level of nausea-induced yet understandable frustration.

This blog is not one of those "giant" blogs that has 10,000 or more daily hits. For several reasons, one of which is because it sucks, but sucks in its own unique and not particularly profitable way. It's just the blurbs of four people; or one particularly neurotic individual [waves] paired with three moderately sane ones.

As I've mentioned before, all four of us are Obama supporters and we're all handling the long Primary process differently. As I pretty much have to blog every fucking day, I have to try to maintain an even keel about the whole thing. And, though it's pretty clear who I support between the two remaining candidates, it isn't like I would not vote for the other person. I'd happily do so. I'd be happier to vote for my guy, but there are supporters of a Kucinich, Edwards, Biden, Dodd, Kucinich etc. who have already made that choice. It's tough, but you're a Democrat for a reason - not a cultist (and boy have both sides thrown that term out too much).

One of these two is going to be the nominee, and the odds are it will be him.

But either one of them is a million miles above John McCain, or George Bush, Part III. And you know one thing that is true about almost all trilogies, the third one is the worst.

John McCain isn't 'Return of the King', he's "The Godfather Part III", he's Matrix Revolutions (especially if the first one sucked as much as the sequel), he's one of the other ewoks in 'Return of the Jedi', he's every subsequent Star Wars prequel if they were primarily about Jar Jar.

So the descent into insanity of some blogs is just sad. They are on both sides [waves at John Aravosis], but for the pro-Hillary blogs, you are going to have to back away from the ledge eventually. The Obamaphiles will eventually have to deal with their hopes being crushed -- hopefully by a President Obama as to some extent people always are. It would be nice if things got taken down a notch. Okay, not you 'No Quarter' you guys are Wile E. Coyote, already over the cliff and trying to use that small umbrella to both slow your fall and shield off the giant Acme anvil simultaneously falling just above you, you just keep on keepin' on and we spineless, gutless, anonymous, neerdowells of the internet will somehow get by.
