I blame it all on Lincoln's war.

As a rule, avoid any major with “studies” in the name. They’re rubbish.

What a shame that our Universities allow in lesser qualified students at the expense of those more deserving. Even worse, these lesser qualified candidates frequently waste valuable space by studying pointless majors created for them to do well when they’d otherwise flunk out (such as African American Studies in the case of Michelle Obama).

Well, Michelle and her cute kids did their thing last night – nice smile and throwaway inspiring but meaningless rhetoric. We all know Barack Hussein’s biography – we don’t know what sort of President he will be, of course.

My guess is that he will be cautious like JFK and try to do a few things, mouth inspiring claptrap, and avoid trouble. That could, of course, be better than our Warmongering Crusader McCain. On the other hand, he could be completely inept like Jimmy Carter.

If the socialists come to power it will be the fault of those who did not correct a dishonest (fractional reserve) banking system when they could. Killer Cain is no better though. Woe is us!

Hey there!
Was just reading your blog and thought you might be interested in this early profile of Jerry Kellman (first guy to hire Obama out of college as a community organizer). Interesting that he calls him idealistic but says “the streets of chicago made him practical and realistic.” Kellman’s speaking at the DNC tonight, so I thought you might wanna check it out.

Keep up the great writing!
Best,

This election and everything about it is so awful, I just can’t stand it. If I said that the way to escape the imminent dark void was to become a hermit, I’d only be half right — secession is the answer. Unfortunately, Americans are extremely nationalistic, and secession is viewed as a de facto joke, not an option.
