Economists? We don't need no stinkin' economists.

NOTE: This post has mild extreme language of the bovine manure variety. I apologize for my diversion from my usual standards, but it was certainly appropriate. If you really are offended by this language, please stop reading and go to http://www.icanhascheezburger.com. I'm sure that will be more your speed.

GIGANTIC SIGH

Hillary just won't stop will she? Either she is bullshitting about being a Super-wonk, or is bullshitting about being Hilz Six Pack. I'll bet you can't guess which one.

Maybe someday she'll collapse in a moment that will put the Dean scream or Muskie crying to shame. That would be a beautiful day, one that will mark a new (and hopefully better) chapter in our nation's politics. The Clintons will finally have been beaten, and being a progressive will no longer be a "dirty little secret". Maybe then we'll have two political parties, instead of one crazy ass party, and one trying to be a weak-ass pro-choice version of the same party.

I tried, I really tried to give her a fair shake. She has shown before she is intelligent, and does seem to care about some things. But to her power is the ends, not the means. Severely wounded by the unfortunate battles of the 90s, she has given up on the idea that there is a better way to win the presidency than roll in the muck.

Hopefully Hoosiers and Tarheels will see through her lies, refuse to submit to her ceaseless pandering. I pray that they will see how shallow and meaningless her gas tax holiday idea is, and how much contempt it shows for American voters. For once I want to believe that they will see through her crap, and see that Obama was the only one honest enough to say that a gas tax holiday is utterly worthless.

Unfortunately, I am very pessimistic about this. The reason politicians pander is because people are more than willing to swallow there crap. Until we stand up and say "NO MORE", they will continue to rely upon truthiness, false sincerity, and other disgusting Machiavellian tools of the trade.

If you truly believe in real change, in actually working to solve the issues that face our nation, you have to be willing to see through the bullshit. Hillary Clinton won't change things, and John McCain won't change things, at least if you aren't wealthy. Barack Obama is our best shot at saving this country from idiocracy and mediocrity. But he can't do it alone.

Prove me wrong, citizens of Charlotte and Evansville. Show me the errors of my ways, people of Moyock and Cayuga. Make me proud voters of Indianapolis and Raleigh. Although a sweep by him won't end this campaign, it will do a damn bit of good in cutting off a potential flank attack by Clinton and her minions.

Help end this charade, and usher in a new age of American citizenship. The people of the "meaningless" states of Virginia, Illinois, Georgia and 28 other contested locales have spoken for their desire for change. Do your part, and make North Carolina and Indiana meaningless as well.
