ONE: I’m still fairly ambivalent about the recent FISA brouhaha, but I do respect Obama’s reason for voting the way he did. I can say that, because he’s written a helpful article on the subject titled My Position On FISA.
TWO: Jesse Jackson said something bad about him. Jesse, of course, still supports his campaign, but he hasn’t figured out that the mic is always on… or maybe he just thinks they’re not made very well. I’ve seen several of Barack’s speeches and he’s never had a condescending tone. He’s obviously well-educated and intelligent and that’s good.
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.
I’m ambivalent about Anonymous, but they’ve actually managed to get the Church of Scientology’s attention and that’s fun.
I’ve collected a short list of interesting studies that give a little taste of why we now have ethical guidelines for research. Most of them come with YouTube videos embedded, for maximum enjoyment.
Using “bacn” to mean email you want, but not right now, is just wrong. I understand spam being email you don’t want at all (based on the Monty Python skit, of course), but bacon is always desirable. Who ever turned down bacon even temporarily. Seriously, I don’t know anyone who ever procrastinated about eating bacon.
This is wrong, Boing Boing, and you know it.
Boing Boing: Bacn spreads around the globe
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.
