Greetings, Fellow… Whatever It Is We Call Ourselves These Days

by AltHippo @ 6:12 pm. Filed under 2008 Elections

I had not planned to take time off from blogging. But, life has a funny way of intervening some times.

I have been engaged in non-internet-based activities involving other people. Upwards of 90% of which have been very positive and/or fantastic.

That said, the stupid bullshit has to stop. I really wish I had been the first to say that.

My take in a nutshell on the Democratic process is this: Hillary Clinton looked for a while like the inevitable candidate. Now, it looks like it isn’t going to happen. How her supporters deal with this is the next chapter in the saga. A suggestion if I may: patience is said to be a divine virtue. It’s not said to be a divine virtue because it comes easily to us. It’s a divine virtue because it takes some cojones. Or, if you prefer, some huevos. If you will, some huevos rancheros. Sorry, all this talk of feeding oneself on $30 ramen noodles has me pining for some solid food.

I suspect that this isn’t the first time that civilization has experienced this set of events. For the moment I’m lost on what the right historical parallel might be. I do hope it isn’t Les Miserables.

    The stupid bullshit actually makes the regular old bullshit look reasonable by comparison.
