Confessions of a Failed M.C.

State of the Union 2007

Two comments -

First - I think he wrote much of it himself.  Nothing useful at all.  Even the policy proposals were worse than usual.  For example.  How will a tax break for people who already have insurance help make health insurance available for uninsured people?  Answer - it would have the opposite effect, by subsidizing an increase in prices paid by the insured, putting insurance further out of reach for the people who don't currently have insurance. 

Second - "This is not the fight we entered in Iraq, but it is the fight we're in."  So, if we weren't there, would we go in now?

The name is Barack Hussein Obama

The guy's middle name is Hussein.  Hussein Hussein Hussein.

Oh no!  That's really going to hurt him with the second-to-fourth grade demographic.

Dear Obama campaign:  It's better to have this conversation in 2006 than 2008.  Indeed, a giant round of silly wailing about this could be a great pre-kickoff publicity generator.  Kind of like Gennifer Flowers, but even more substantively irrelevant.

Besides, he can easily make up that lost ground with the recess crowd.  Just show how good he sounds in the name-game song:  Obama-rama-sho-shama-be-bi-bo-bama-banana-fanna-fo-fama- - Obama!

We're Gonna Be Okay.

Life can get you down. 

But every once in a while a piece of news comes along and you know, deep in your heart, that everything is going to be fine.

America, announcing the beginning of a political, cultural and business alliance that could save us all:
    Barak Obama and, my personal hero*, Mr. Christopher Bridges.

*seriously.  Guy's a genius. He knows the first rule, and tells it like it is.
