Barack O-ronic

Ironic content floats to the surface of The Magic Candidate's campaign and his wondrously shiny oratory masterpiece.

In an interview this week, Vice President Cheney responds to two-thirds of the American people's disapproval of the war with one word and a smirk: "so?"

Remember, back in January, when Bill Clinton was whining in South Carolina about the press going to easy on Obama — not subjecting him to the scrutiny the media has inflicted on Hillary? I'm beginning to think he had a point. Clinton was talking about then about what we all know about now: Obama's pastor disaster.

from the NY Times (posted 3/24/08):

Senator Evan Bayh of Indiana, who backs Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton for president, proposed another gauge Sunday by which superdelegates might judge whether to support Mrs. Clinton or Senator Barack Obama.

He suggested that they consider the electoral votes of the states that each of them has won.

Thanks to Barak Obama, we are all allowed to speak of race in America, but the conversation is crippled before it is opened. The problem is that a Black/white dialogue is incomplete, there is a third player in the room, and it is the proverbial 800 pound gorilla.

I don't know how Joel can support the DC handgun ban.  The city has been the murder capitol of the US how many years out of the last 20 or 30?

Since no one will actually explain what the change is that Obama is planning ...

That isn't rain. That's God weeping. McCain should complain to the FEC.

(I just found out was reminded that the Big K posted this a week ago. Well, then, consider it an encore. An unspeakably horrible encore.)

Don't get rid of the penny, rename it the dollar! 

UC San Diego is a fine university in an unbeatable location with typically P.C. courses and occasionally idiotic graduation requirements. So I don't know why this interview with a UCSD student should irritate me as much as it does.
