Okay, today is a political day…

March 28, 2008
The Washington Post ran an article today,  “Iraq fighting complicates Bush’s task,” which talks about images of “explosions, burning buildings, street protests,” and “rocket smoke wafting from the Green Zone.”

It also quoted President Bush as saying “Normalcy is returning back to Iraq.”

But five years after the US invasion, hasn’t this BECOME normalcy in Iraq?

Tampering?

March 28, 2008

The San Francisco 49ers were penalized a fifth round draft pick for allegedly trying to tamper with Lance Briggs.   (Yeah, Lance Briggs. Who?  And they didnt even end up signing him.)

Maybe it would have  been better for the team if they had done some SERIOUS tampering and been penalized with a first round pick, considering how well they did with Alex Smith.

And now Hillary Clinton and some of her weatlthy supporters are urging Chairman of the House Nancy Pelosi to repudiate her statement that superdelegates should not overturn the will of the people  as expressed at the ballot box.    The reasoning being that superdelegates might know better who would be a stronger candidate.

Guess the candidate “of, from and for the middle class,” will do anything for that middle class.  Except acknowledge their right to vote.
