Another Open Letter to the Democrats

Are you stupid?

A current look at Primary and Caucus results shows Hillary beating Obama 306 to 235. If I’ve done the math right, that’s 306 jerks who think we should just let the Bush and Clinton families take turns in the Whitehouse. Well, that’s too bad, because it’s not going to happen.

It’s pretty simple really. McCain has cross-party appeal. Nominally Democratic Joe Sixpack would have loved to have voted for McCain 8 years ago and he’s been chomping at the bit to get a chance to do so ever since.

Hillary… oh, Hillary. Most Republicans hate her with a passion. They don’t have a really good reason to hate her, but that doesn’t make their hate less real, just irrational. You can’t argue with that kind of thing. Oh yeah, a lot of Democrats hate her too. They don’t have a reason and don’t need one… although there are plenty.

You still have time. There are enough delegates out there to turn this thing around. Obama gives the best speeches this side of JFK and he’s electable, so please do the right thing.

Plus, I swear, if Hillary gets the nomination and loses the election, I’m done with you jerks for good. There’s no reason for the Democratic party to even pretend to play in presidential politics if all it does is roll over and hope for a pat on the belly from the GOP.

One more thing.

Will.I.Am wrote a song based on one of Obama’s speeches. Does Hillary get songs made out of her speeches? No. No she doesn’t.

An Open Letter To Democrats Supporting Hillary Clinton in the Primaries

Stay home.

Disconnect your internet.

Throw away your phone, fax, carrier pigeon and smoke signal kit.

Get sterilized.

Say it with me: “President McCain”

You better get used to it, because you’re making it possible.

Jerks.

Dear Friend, Are you a Republican?

Our records show that you registered as a member of our Party… But a recent audit of your Party affiliation turned up some irregularities.

There are so many gems in this letter, it’s an embarrassment of riches for liberal pundits.

Missionary Lizards?!

Ken Ham’s organization, Answers in Genesis, has just opened the Creation Museum and I am downright giddy at the prospect of taking a road trip. This place is to science museums what a cargo cult is to an airport.

As expected, Pharyngula has the story and a nicely edited summary from the blogosphere.

A sneak peek at the museum has disappointed me a little. It looks like the “science” is just as bad as expected, but the tone isn’t as outrageous, and therefore fun, as I’d hoped. I’m refraining from making any definite judgments until I get to visit the place and breathe it in for myself.
