I was watching "Meet the Press" today and a group of Democratic strategists squared off against their Republican counterparts. They were talking about the ’08 election and what emerged most distinctly for me was a curious sense that both parties are looking for a way to run on the status quo but without saying so. What this means is that what will "really happen" is that we will stay in Iraq for a long time to come. We will likely continue to privatize every single governmental program we can think of. We will fail the nation on health care reform. We will do these things while pretending it’s the other guys fault.
I wish I felt better about this political season. I said earlier on this blog that I think the wrong guy from "Law and Order" is talking about running. I want Jack McCoy in the White House. And I think "Ice T" should be the VP.
It’s hard these days to remember, but even Nixon played the piano and had some occasional charm. Who amongst these candidates has a little charm? I’d like to see all these candidates play the bongos like Richard Feinman and recite improv poetry instead of having more of these dishwater dull debates.

No, nothing mean spirited and nothing personal. Just junk spam we’re not willing to tolerate. So keep your blabbermouth comments coming BG. We’d never turn you away!

Well, that’s just terrible. I hope it’s just that automated spam stuff and not anything intentional.

Hi BG,
We’ve recently been on the receiving end of some rather offensive spam and have decided to monitor comments for a while.

Steve, I’m only commenting down here cuz your comment link is not showing up on your newer posts for some reason. So I can’t comment!
And that’s hard for me. I’m a blabbermouth and always have something to say.
Oh well.
Don’t know if it’s something you did on purpose to cut off comments or if it’s something I’m doing wrong. But, wanted to let you know.
Your poetry idea is cool.
