Calling

I'm calling it. I know, "what about the debates?". Fuck that, the debates don't matter. They don't matter. It's over people. It's over, and McCain is going to win. He is. I know you don't want to hear it, you don't want to believe it, but I think you know that it's true. The Americal electorate is stupid and the American electorate is racist and every bible banging yenta soccer mom from Devner to Pittsburgh and all the way down to the Gulf coast is going to equate every attack by Democrats on Palin as a personal affront. Karl Rove has been fucking the DLCC in the ass for, what, three presidential election cycles now? Every four years he shows them exactly how to win an election in the US, and they still just don't get it. The Democratic party is an object lesson is what not to do in an election. It's a dead heat. It's a fucking dead heat with a trillion dollar albatross hanging around McCain's neck. With the most woefully unqualifed running mate, possibly ever. The crazy little man is riding a eight year tsunami of failure into the election, and it's a dead heat. The Republicans are going to play nasty, they're going to purge democratic voters from the rolls, they're going to cheat where they can. All they have to do is keep it close until November and you're all going to wake up one morning in February to see that we've invaded Iran. Paranoid? Fuck that. Those things are allready happening. It sucks. The American electorate is stupid and will not only get the government that it wants, but will certainly get the government that it deserves.

Pussies

Andy Orstoy gets one exactly right

Screwed

That's what America is. I honestly can't say that I'm surprised that the Democrats caved on the telecom FISA bill. Hell, I wish it did surprise me that the controlling party in both houses is going to let themselves get bent over and ass raped by the president with the lowest approval rate in the history of the office, but, it doesn't and that's exactly what's going to happen. I'm so not surprised that I find it hard to really even get too worked up about it. Glenn Greenwald makes some really excellent points, and there's a group trying to raise money to get some of these Dems that keep capitulating to the White House out of office. I'm looking at you, Hoyer, Pelosi and Reid.

McCrazy

They said "Vote for Us", then they folded on Bush's War. They said "Vote for Us", then they failed to stop the destruction of The Supreme Court. They Said "Vote for Us" and failed to stop the war that they helped start. They said "Vote for Us". Where's the accountability for Valerie Plame, for signing statements, for the budget, for warrentless wiretapping, for immunity for the telcos, for the energy task force, for any-fucking-thing at all?

Fuck the Democrats.

If Obama is somehow not the Democratic candidate for president in 2008 ... if the election is between McCain and Clinton ... you can bet your ass that I will be voting for McCain. He's all kinds of crazy, but at least he's not lying to me.

Vote

John Edwards is the best Democratic Candidate

Hello?

When are people going to wake the fuck up to what's going on in this country? It baffles me.

In other news. My little leaguers won their second game, unfortunately that means that they improve to 2 and 8. I really think they've turned a corner. Unfortunately, we play the number one team this weekend. So it's straight into the deep end for my guys.

I'm trying to teach Pandora to play country music, but only funny, upbeat country music, like Brad Paisley, or Jimmy Buffett (I fucking know Buffet isn't country music, call Pandora.com and tell them). It's not working out too well, and now I feel depressed.

Going to Joe Satriani and Eric Johnson at The Grove in Anaheim. Fucking A. I can't wait.
