Hillary Wants [at Least] a First Ballot Vote at the Convention

Read the Article at HuffingtonPost

This article made me wretch. I had no idea there were still these groups of HRC drum majors out there.

With supporters and advisers like those described in the "meeting," who needs enemies?

Angry, shrill, angry, illogical, and angry don't make for a very earnest voter appeal.

Obama is "ruthless," huh? I'm still waiting for (or begging) the man to work his way up to "testy" in dealing with mccain. What has he ever done that was "ruthless?" Please!

And just because you have the opportunity to make a spectacle of yourself in front of millions of people doesn't mean you have to! Just because you're pissed off doesn't mean that you get to do or say whatever you want to!

There's a fire alarm near my office, if I pull it, I will demonstrate my incredible personal power to screw things up for a lot of people. But what else does it prove - other than the fact that I'm an ass?

Media Impact

The media would LOVE to see a convention floor vote battle. They'll be questioning Obama's legitimacy from then all the way up to the election. That's what PUMAs are trying to achieve?

This would be no dowd-like "gossip story" from idiot neocon henchmen picking little context-less nuggets from here and there and gluing them together - this would fuel "legitimate" stories that are based on the moment.

A protest-filled, "mutiny" at the convention where the person who's vowed to unite the country can't get more than 65% (the number won't matter for purposes of the story-line) of the Democratic party united will be the biggest story of the entire campaign so far. Every paper and news outlet in the entire country will have headlines dedicated to it.

This is beyond love-children, fist-bumps, and all the rest of the stupid tripe that comes every day from the serious corporate media baloney pump.

No campaign-killer, of course, but a big, bloody-nose and probably a damper on the bounce.

Good Parenting

A little girl was at the beach the other day sitting on a blanket near me. She wanted water ice - now! She started chanting, "I want water ice now." Over and over. Dad finally purposefully picked her up and took her 'home' to get a nap.

That's the problem with grown ups who behave like selfish, irrational little children - there are no adults big enough to take them to nap time.
