North Carolina & Indiana

Happy NC and IN primary day! Today we'll see which of the liberal elites is deemed to be the most elitiest and out-of-touchiest with the hard-working, blue collar, middle class type of folks.

Supposedly this vote is going to be "game-changing," because either Obama closes the deal and fucks the prom queen, or Hillary continues to protract the contest until June. But doesn't fuck any prom queen.

Bitches Get Shit Done

Last Tuesday, Hillary Clinton was asked what her response would be to a nuclear attack on Israel by Iran. My bitch did me proud by responding in no uncertain terms that we would go in and wreck their shit.

[Senator Clinton] said the U.S. would be able to "obliterate" Iran if it used nuclear weapons against Israel.

..."I want the Iranians to know that if I'm the president, we will attack Iran [if it attacked Israel]," Clinton said. "In the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them."

Barack Obama responded by saying Clinton's language was much too belligerent.

"We have had a foreign policy of bluster and saber-rattling and tough talk, and in the meantime have made a series of strategic decisions that have actually strengthened Iran."

Israel is "the most important ally" the United States has in the Middle East, and that Washington would respond "forcefully and appropriately" to any attack, Obama said Sunday.

"But it is important that we use language that sends a signal to the world community that we're shifting from the sort of cowboy diplomacy, or lack of diplomacy, that we've seen out of George Bush," he said. "And this kind of language is not helpful."

Look, nuking God's Chosen People is kind of a big deal. An aggressive retaliation by the United States to a pretty fucking hostile act on the part of Iran wouldn't be pre-emptive. It wouldn't be based on dubious "intelligence." And saying as much isn't "saber rattling." It's taking a definitive stand on an issue.

Clinton gave a solid, acceptable answer to the hypothetical question and Obama attempted to distance himself from her comments - which, in this case, is really retarded. I guess he'd rather sit down with Ahmadinejad, with Israel still smoldering, and ask the Iranian leader how he felt about what he'd just done.

Anybody remember Michael Dukakis' lack of passion in his answer when he responded he wouldn't sentence somebody to death who raped and murdered his wife? Not his best moment.

Web 2.0 Is Killing The Internet

Author Jonathan Zittrain, "The Future of the Internet--and How to Stop It," postulates that closed architecture systems - like the iPhone and Facebook - are limiting the innovative growth of the Internet.

Through historical accident, we've ended up with a global network that pretty much allows anybody to communicate with anyone else at any time. Devices could be reprogrammed by them at any time, including code written by other people, so you don't have to be a nerd to get the benefits of reprogramming it. [But] this is an historical accident. Now, I see a movement away from that framework--even though it doesn't feel like a movement away. [For example,] an iPhone can only be changed by Steve Jobs or soon, with the software development kit, by programmers that he personally approves that go through his iPhone apps store. Or whimsical applications that run on the Facebook platform or the new Google apps. These are controllable by their vendors in ways that Bill Gates never dreamed of controlling Windows applications.

...even under the standard Windows operating system from 1990, 1991, you write the code, you can hand it to somebody else and they can run it. Bill Gates has nothing to say about it. So it's funny to think that by moving in Steve Jobs's direction it actually ends up far more proprietary.

I have an iPhone. I would love to develop my own applications for it. Soon I will be able to. However, if somebody else has developed a killer iPhone app, and I want it, why should I have to pay Apple for something a developer is willing to hand out for free?

That is a restriction on innovative internet development and it sucks. So instead of developing free, open source web applications for devices like the iPhone, programmers have to first figure out how to hack the process in order to circumvent the restrictions. And then you void your warranty.

A wag of the finger to Apple today. And at tip of the hat to the makers of Dos Equis beer - of which I had a plentiful amount at lunch today.

Democrats' Torrid Love Affair With Obama

What is it with Obama supporters and how gushy they get when they talk about their adored candidate? It is a phenomenon I have never witnessed in any other election. Sure, you can support a candidate; and there are several levels of support. People disliked the robot Al Gore, but they still supported him at a minimal level. Kerry was an epic failure, yet he still got the requisite support from the drones.

But here we have Barack Obama. Women take their clothes off for him. Men go gay for him. Dogs and cats living together! Honestly, it's outrageous.

When New Mexican governor Bill Richardson was on Larry King, all he could talk about was Obama bringing the country together. Michael Moore was on King last night and he not only gushed on and on about Obama, but he called Clinton disgusting. Then Arianna Huffington on AC360 had to restrain herself from begging Obama to father her children.

So yeah, what's up with that?

Reverend Jeremiah Wright

Remember Reverend Jeremiah Wright? Barack Obama's preacher who said a lot of allegedly "un-American" things about America's roosters or something? Well, Rev. Wright wants to defend himself from the media's hateful attack on his crazy beliefs tonight on PBS.

I watched some clips of the interview on CNN's AC360 (that's Anderson Cooper 360 for you noobs) last night and his whole premise is that the media took sound bites out of context and put them in your face so you would imagine Obama's face morph into Rev. Wright's face and get freaked out. Man.

David Gergen, political analyst extraordinaire, had this to say about the reverend's self-defense:

He just -- he has just -- this is the first time in American history that an African-American has a serious chance of ascending to the presidency, the highest office in the land. And Reverend Wright has just made this climb a lot steeper.

So wanting to keep the reverend quiet before the North Carolina primary is not so much about moving past some irrelevant "scandal" as it is about Obama being black.

Second, if anyone is being un-American, it's people of Gergen's school of thought who would deny an American citizen his right to free speech. Reverend Wright has the absolute right to say whatever he wants whenever he wants. If it hurts the campaign, it's because the campaign is full of fail.

And, let's face it. Preachers say all sorts of crazy shit. Just because my priest tells me that the Catholic church is against birth control doesn't mean I'm going to flip my retard switch to the "On" position and stop using birth control. Most people don't really listen to or practice what their pastor peaches. They're only in the pews for the street cred. Obama's a nice guy and all, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was balancing his checkbook during one of Wright's sermons. So what. Chill the fuck out, people.

Now go forth and drink beers! So let it be written; so let it be done!
