Hoosier Illusion: Hillary's Appetite for Destruction

So goeth Eight Belles...

So goeth Hillary Clinton...

I guess I should get used to the idea of President McCain though I'll be voting for Barack.

I've been waiting for the music industry to lurch to its seemingly inevitable death for years so that something great could rise from the ashes.

That's how I feel about the political system in America.

Neither are going to die, though, are they? Not until they're pried from the cold dead hands of the current establishments.

It's a shame that we cling to these antiquated notions... that there is no viable third party... that we still use the Electoral College.

Chris Matthews and his extremely yellow hair (seriously, he looks like Schroeder from Peanuts tonight) are saying it's too close to call, but I think it's welcome to the jungle, Obama.

But like Axl said...
"Never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain."

Yes, I've lost my mind,
Ms. P

ps. It's now 1.15 am and Dan Abrams and his spray on tan (at least I think that's Dan Abrams) just announced that Hillary is the "apparent winner." I still think stick a fork in her and all that.

I understand desperate times and all that... but her stance on this gas tax holiday, her "not putting her lot in with economists" when I know she knows better, and her all around pandering-spree this last month have left me sad.

Can I ask what sparked your distaste for Barack?

It's a small thing, I know, but his standing up and saying that this gas tax holiday would only line the pockets of big oil, and his pointing out that we use that tax for repairs on our seriously-crumbling infrastructure, when it would have been politically expedient for him to fall in line with the bumper-sticker answer of tax holiday = good for workin folks, have all left me reassured.

That was a wretched run-on sentence, but what about him leaves you cold? Um. Hopeless?; May 7, 2008 at 3:46 AM

Barack's naivete is something I feel like we can ill afford right now. That said, he could be great. He is hardly a liberal, though, and it pains me to hear people talk about how either of them are lefties.

My stance on the whole state of America right now is that I have hope but no faith.

We'll see.; May 7, 2008 at 8:57 AM
