Can the crap

Can’t we just cut the crap? This whole business has gone on much too long and just seems to get more and more ridiculous. You can thank the MSM for most of this ongoing nonsense.

First, Clinton has lost. The MSM continues to pretend that the contest between Obama and Clinton is close. It is close if you keep playing around with the figures and changing the rules and etc. It is not close in the sense that Clinton can win. She can’t win, short of kneecapping Obama. If she does that she will almost certainly destroy the democratic party for some time to come. Black voters are not going to be very happy with the Clintons if they destroy Obama. The democratic party can’t get anywhere without the black vote. Not only will blacks be enraged, so, too, will all the young people who are excited about Obama and voting for the first time. Will the democrats just stand by and watch the Clintons destroy the party? I don’t think so.

And can we also cut the crap about Jeremiah Wright? As near as I can tell he hasn’t said anything that is not true, but the country is in such a state of denial they just can’t accept the truth. Did we drop atomic bombs on Japan, killing thousands of innocent civilians? Yes, we did. Are we committing war crimes in Iraq? Yes, we are. Does the bible proscribe such behavior? Yes, it does. Why has this become a problem? Because the Clintons want it to be a problem and the MSM does also. The only place that Wright might well be said to be completely off base is if he said AIDS was created by whites to destroy black people. I don’t know that he said this. But maybe he did. If so, he was completely wrong. However, given the history of medical and chemical research using black people as guinea pigs, both here and around the world, even such paranoia is at least understandable, however wrong in this particular case it may be.

The superdelegates are coming out more and more for Obama. The powerful black leader in the House has warned the Clintons about what they are risking. One of Clinton’s most successful fund raisers has deserted her for Obama. The handwriting is on the wall. Barring some absolutely horrible mistake, or illness, or assassination, or whatever, Obama is going to be the candidate. Continuing as she is does not make Clinton a fighter, but, rather, a destroyer. Her scorched earth strategy is not going to win her the nomination in 2008. It most probably won’t win her the nomination in 2012 either, if that is, indeed, her plan.

We have truly entered the realm of infotainment. The MSM is giving us 24/7 nothing but utter nonsense. Millions of words of utter nonsense. I guess it does keep the pundits busy, and there seem to be almost as many pundits as voters these days. Most of them have been pretty consistently wrong in the past but they go on punditing (or whatever) just the same. Being right or wrong doesn’t matter anymore, it’s just the endless noise that matters, that mindless babble that breaks up the commercials that are the real point of the so-called “news.” Murder, arson, plunder, and rape just go on unabated as always while we are misinformed, misled, mistaken, mismanaged, misguided, and miserable in our apparent helplessness. Those who object were labeled by that great Republican Vice-President, Spiro Agnew (before he was convicted), “nattering nabobs of negativism.” I think we should start an organization, The Noble Order of the Nattering Nabobs of Negativism. When should we get started? What should the dues be? Who will write the by-laws? Oh, pshaw, why bother? If Congress can’t (or won’t) do anything, why should we? You know what, We should just follow Scalia’s advice and just get over it (all of it). Just tell yourself it didn’t happen. The first few years of the 21st century have just been a bad dream. Just forgive and forget (while your children and grandchildren pay for your long nap). War? What war? War crimes? What war crimes? Shhh, just go back to sleep, it’s only a bad dream.
