Week of November 9, 2008 - November 15, 2008

Hillary for Ambassador to Bosnia


There is massive popular outcry in Bosnia demanding that President-Elect Barack Obama designate their war heroine, Hillary Clinton, as their future Ambassador.  As this dramatic video demonstrates, she has earned the adoration of Bosnians everywhere.



Hillary Clinton, in her modest way, says that she is proud of Barack's election and his likely selection of her for this important role, then she is moved emotionally.





Let us all applaud this historic selection!

I have noticed a growing use of a tag line to plead for recommends.  How pathetic!  Recommend me at your peril!


Did it together


So far I have seen people claim that blacks, women, gays, Jews, anti-war folks, and maybe-even-alien-invasion-believers put Barack Obama into the White House.  As a straight white male ex-protestant, I guess I can only claim credit under the anti-war label (I am not really that into X-Files).

The fact is, *None* of these groups are responsible for the election of Obama.  The left is a coalition of progressive groups, it isn't a pile of various unimportant groups plus one linchpin group.

I get so tired of the competition among progressives.  We won *together*.  Unless we can credit each other and stick together, we will be looking at right wing politics creeping right back in next year.

So please, don't be so damn proud of your group and demand that your group's concerns get to the top of the pile.  We have all been in the wilderness for 40 years, and we need to move forward together.

Bio

I live on a small island in the Atlantic Ocean, not far off the coast of New York. Not far, at all. I did not always live in the Nawth. In the state where I grew up (which does not know it is a state), *every* American cultural practice began. It is in their history books.
