John Edwards is an Idiot

I leave town for a week and what happens?  A lot!

But I have been simmering with this for awhile now so I needed to say it more than once.  John Edwards is a stupid idiot.  What if you DID get the nomination, Johnny boy?  That’s a guaranteed lose for this election.  Think the American public is tired of Democratic ding dong scandals (even if they do involve relations with the opposite sex as opposed to the rash of anti-gay gay Republican scandals)?

Yes, zip it.  Your wife has cancer.  She’s not going to live much longer.  Don’t pour salt on her wounds.  Get a magazine and a tissue.  Oh, too late.  Dumbass.

So now John Edwards is a liability.  He went from a respectable candidate who fights for the common man to a toolbox and a liability.  Dude, were you not there when Clinton was impeached?  The days of presidential affairs are over, my friend.  And you’re not even president.  And you never will be.

No Chair for Cheney at McCain’s Party

According to several sources, it looks like McCain is desperately trying to distance himself from Dick Cheney. Reports are saying that Cheney will not even be invited to the Republican Convention.

Now that really puts McCain at odds with the hard core ‘Conservatives’ who actually have a positive feeling for Cheney. Though that’s a very small part of the general population they are a big swath of the most conservative (which, by the way, is difficult to type because the policies of Cheney seem most radical, not conservative.)

So what will the “straight talking” maverick who coddles the former “agents of intolerance” do? This will be fun to watch.

Buy American Gifts

I was recently at a baby shower (oh, the pain!) and I met a guy who, get this, makes his living by selling American flags.  Sound good?  He has them made in China!  He had just gotten back from a trip where he worked out the next round of purchases.  He was very proud of his profit margin.

Needless to say, I didn’t really end up snagging this guy’s email for a follow-up.  He really kinda made me sick.  But it got me to thinking, who manufactures American flags in the U.S.?  I don’t really know.

But since I WAS at a baby shower, I couldn’t help but point out to this (expletive) face that my baby gift was purchased from a company that manufactures right here in the USA.  I was able to buy some cool girl baby bedding (if one can actually call that cool) and I will certainly buy toddler bedding from there when my girl gets ready to move to a big girl bed.

I may bitch a lot about politics, but I think that is not only my right, but my obligation.  It is also my obligation to buy American.  Remember when Wal-Mart used to boast that they always “buy American”.  Have you heard that lately?  I didn’t think so.

Happy Birthday Obama

Today is Barrack Obama’s 47th birthday.  McCain turns 72 on the 28th.  That’s a 25 year age gap that is sure to play a role in this race.  So far, McCain seems to be taunting Obama as an inexperienced whipper-snapper with the substance and depth of a pop star.  And so far Obama has been taking it like a good Democrat.

Get some huevos, Obama.  Nice just won’t do anymore.  Fight back.
