(Queue Beatles, Revolution Number 9)
OK, for all that we’ve been busy chatting about how Spitzer came over at the Mayflower, there was , in fact, other stuff in my head, and on the wires, besides Spitzer, today. Here’s a few selections:
- Oil to $110/bbl. I’m telling you guys, the bubble’s about to burst, here.
- Did you see Geraldene Ferraro?
Clinton campaign finance committee member, former vice presidential candidate, and former Rep. Geraldine Ferraro, D-NY, told the Daily Breeze of Torrance, Ca., that, “If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept.”
Ummmm…. Hold up a tick, here. WHAT position? Since she’s a Clinton supporter, she’s talking about sexism against Hillary, as opposed to racism against Obama. We’re still in the primary, and so the position she’s describe is driven by DEMOCRATS. I’ll get into this at need, but I suspect the implications here are clear to you already. Like I said at Q&O yesterday, identity politics is of course, by its very nature, racist, sexist, etc. The real fun comes from watching its adherents try to avoid that basic fact. And, yes, I’m just waiting for someone to call me a bigot for saynig that. You watch; it’ll happen.
- I see Obama getting a little testy:
“They have been spending the last two or three weeks” arguing that he is not ready to be commander in chief, Obama said.”I don’t understand. If I am not ready, how is it that you think I should be such a great vice president?” Obama asked the crowd, which gave him a standing ovation during his defense. “I don’t understand.”
Well, yes, there is that, isn’t there? Like I told you, both their egos are altogether too massive for such a team to ever work.
Not.
Gonna.
Happen. - In case you needed any proof that Ron Paul and his supoprters are living in a fantasy world, he’s served official notice; he’s still in the presidential hunt…. though in what alternate universe he doesn’t specify.
- By the way, did you notice the space shuttle lifted off night before last? As a kid who grew up in the early 60’s, watching lift-offs on blurry black and white sets as a part of my schooling, I’m amazed t how little interest space travel evokes, anymore.
