Retrospective

A personal retrospective is on the way. But for now, a yahoo! retrospective will have to suffice.

Obama '08. I never thought I'd be writing these words, but he essentially sealed the deal. Now Clinton has few options left. But, she seems unwilling to concede. I guess time will tell. In talking amongst friends, there has been a myriad of feelings. Some think it's just a matter of time, I think she's trying to leverage something. I also tend to agree with my friend James, who thinks that she (and Bill) will attempt to undermine Obama, but she sees it as her only viable way to get into the White House in '12 or '16 (that would be CRAZY if he wins this year, and is re-elected, but lets not get too far ahead). It does far more for her than it likely does for him.

Regardless, this will be an interesting election season. I think McCain will come out swinging for the fences. Has anyone noticed his voice makes him sound like the guy selling Smuckers' Jam back in the day? But McCain has experience, and a ton of it, so that's a pretty sound platform. Thankfully their respective platforms are night and day. In 2008, America will decide where it will go for the long-term. Lets hope we make the right decision.

...Before I See a Black Man as President

The ultra-nice flat screen TV at work is tuned to Foxnews. Fine by me, it's not like I'm sitting there at work. Ironically I watched CNN this morning while eating breakfast. Then in the bathroom, someone left some printout about the biased liberal media. I think it's funny since both liberal and conservatives have their platforms, CNN and Foxnews respectively. But both sides love to moan and complain. I figure people pick their sides more or less and chose to turn into whichever media outlet they ideologically ally with. Whatever, the media, to me, is more business than service. Half of the stuff we watch isn't news. But I digress. It was meant to be a political day, with my evening based on the decision of Brown v. Board of Education. So I was walking by the work after grabbing a pack of paperclips from storage, and what do I hear, but the inflammatory comment this "lovely" woman made.



The title is what she forgot to say at the end of the sentence. And now, you tell me racism doesn't still exist. Go ahead, tell me. Please....I'm waiting.

I anticipate the Republican Apologist will interject sooner rather than later, via comment. Sometimes it takes something like this to motivate you into finding the time to write on things.

More Delays

There has been a serious lack of posting here for well over a month now, and I apologize if you're still reading. Such delays can be attributed to:
1) house hunting
2) the new job
3) mock trial academy
4) taking on an assignment as a research assistant
5) overall laziness

hope everyone is doing well. I'll write again, soon enough
