ps
Forgive the fannish moment, but oh wow. You are avedon carol. You write possibly my favorite political blog, and you read something I wrote.
I am happy.
(oh, the other p.s. thing -- all the dem candidates, including those who dropped out, have had a lot of great things going for them,starting with they're all exceptionally smart; hell, I was even greatly impressed with Mike Gravel when this campaign started and briefly had him as my favorite, tho now I keep forgetting that he is even here; and all of them have things that make me cringe.
Two of my more recent things detailing problems w/candidates were an anti-Obama one here: http://mojave-wolf.livejournal.com/4387
and an anti-Hillary, I'm going w/Dodd one here:
http://mojave-wolf.livejournal.com/4285
(I realize this anti-Hillary bit may seem trivial, but my disgust at ALL the people who get worked up over a disguised, hard to find consensual vanilla sex scene w/no problematic elements other than explicitness, in a game part of the point of which is to have sex with prostitutes right before you murder them, well, I . . . rage and disgust and contempt are really the only words that come to mind; she probably just did this to score political points and barely has a clue what the game is about but still . . . things like this fill me with Icariumesque rage)
I've complained about Edwards too, not least the 2004 campaign, which is his biggest strike in my book, along with not just the Iraq vote, but that he keeps hammering Hillary on it when he was on the intelligence committee and had to know the justification was bullshit (yes, I realize, *all* of them knew the justification was bullshit, or I hope so, else they're much stupider than I think and much too stupid to be president, but he had access to more evidence so this makes him even more culpable), and that he actually wrote an op-ed article favoring the invasion, which Hillary didn't (you keep up with these things more than I, so let me know if my memory is delusional), and this kinda puts his hypocrisy level beyond all bounds. And his arguably sexist comment, certainly cheap shot comment, on the non-crying incident. (which may sound like I hate everyone, but compared to any of the Republicans, I'm gonna be going rah-rah for them in the general, even Obama, tho I've come to truly loathe the tone of his campaign and a lot of its online supporters)
Oh, as long as I'm rambling -- do you mind if I friend you?
