The Republican primary, meanwhile, is full of entertaining figures, but to continue with food analogies, they're like gastric oddities from the 1950s; I'm thinking savory (as opposed to sweet) Jell-O casseroles. With mostly abhorrent political views, if you're wondering about my own political stance. And anyway, aren't Democrats the fiscal conservatives these days? Moving on... You make a good point about the difference between being a statesman and a professional politician. Check out <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/25/opinion/25halperin.html?ex=1353733200&en=8587659d96ab0340&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss" rel="nofollow">this article</a>--it puts forth the same argument, with just a slight tweak. The thesis holds that being a good candidate and being a good president are two different qualities that don't always overlap (cynics would say they seldom overlap).

Am I reading into this or are you taking the natural course of evolution from liberal to fiscal conservative. don't be a homo. Actually i'm sure it's because the republican primary is far more entertaining with all the quacks. though i have enjoyed watching Osama, er, i mean Obama age over the course of the last year (reminds me of what they said about lincoln during the civil war. Apparently he went from looking 50 to a wrinkled old 80 with all the duress). But overall the Democratic primary is lacking some pizaz. or, if you rearrange the letters, some pizza. either way you slice the pie, the democrats need to be a little less predictable. hasn't the ultimate failure of rovian politics taught us to keep it real. enough already. say what you mean and stop playing the pro-politician game. be a statesman and represent somebody without necessarily representing everybody. rant over, balls danglin Why are all your blogs about the republican primary?

I also see his fellew jihadis rolling their eyes to each other. "Not this bloody song again!"

Can I fake quote Osama? I wouldn't want to offend. I couldn't think of an ABBA in the white house equivalent for Osama.
