so lets make it two or three candidates at a time as this really hurts my solar plexus…

so, brain is washed and coffee is in hand. time to look at the two front runners: Obama & Clinton.

So, last night I posted a quick and dirty first impression of the dem’s debate. I’m having trouble with the word “debate.” I did not witness a debate according to my definition of the word, but then, the past decade or so, I’ve noticed most of the words I use have been altered to a degree that should make poor Webster turn over. At least, it makes me itchy.
anyway…thought I’d take my impressions of what I heard, do some research and look at this one candidate at a time. I’m sure at the end of it all, I will probably want to leave the country or maybe find a nice little hill to dig a hole into so that I can sit in it and think about anarchy.

hmmm… a strange and odd mix of people are running for the democratic nomination, in no particular order.
- Edwards: Has no moral leader, rather he gave an Oscar award acceptance speech.
- Obama: All charisma and brilliant charm but not a *real* principle in sight. Didn’t once answer the question asked.
- Clinton: Very proud of being a senator from New York. I hope she sticks with it.
- Dodd: The only viable candidate for President of the United States (rather than just another “occupant”).
- Kucinich: He’s wonderful. I’d love to take a yoga class with him (kukukachoo–i’m sorry, i couldn’t help it).
- Biden: Smart, glib, arrogant. I like him. If Dodd dies, the only other viable candidate.
- Richardson: Surprisingly smart and practical. There’s something slightly Truman-like about him. Maybe next time? Maybe VP? I like him third best.
- That crazy man from Alaska: enuff said
- Obama: All charisma and brilliant charm but not a *real* principle in sight. Didn’t once answer the question asked.
- Those with workable positions on Iraq: Dodd, Biden, Richardson
- Those with workable positions on non-Iraq foreign policy: Dodd, Biden, Richardson
- Those who have an inkling about climate change: Kucinich, Biden, Dodd, Richardson
- Those who have anything worthwhile to say about general domestic stuff: Kucinich, Dodd, Biden, Richardson
- Those who have anything to say about healthcare that isn’t totally icky: Kucinich
- Edwards: Has no moral leader, rather he gave an Oscar award acceptance speech.

this is important
A better way to celebrate Mothers Day…The women of Ohio, U.S.A., call upon the women of the world, from day-old babies to our most senior elders, to stand with us on May 13, 2007, to save the world.
We will be standing for the world’s children and grandchildren, and for the seven generations beyond them. We dream of a world where all of our children have safe drinking water, clean air to breathe, and enough food to eat. A world where they have access to a basic education to develop their minds and healthcare to nurture their growing bodies. A world where they have a warm, safe and loving place to call home. A world where they don’t live in fear of violence–in their home, in their neighborhood, in their school or in their world. This is the world of which we dream. This is the cause for which we will stand.
If you share this dream, please stand with us for five minutes of silence at 1 p.m. your local time on May 13, 2007, in your local park, school yard, gathering place, or any place you deem appropriate, to signifiy your agreement with our dream. We ask you to invite the men and boys who you care about to join you. We ask that you bring bells to ring at 1 p.m. to signify the beginning of the five minutes of silence and to ring again to signify the end of the period of silence. During the silence, please think about what you individually and we collectively can do to attain this world. Please feel free to sit rather than stand. Afterwards, hopefully you and your loved ones can talk together about how we can bring about this world.
See http://www.StandingWomen.org for more details and to register your commitment to stand with us.
