“I probably went off the beam there, in a vain attempt to be clever.”

see? you’re not stupid. anyone who can admit vanity, or at least, the possibility of vanity is ok with me. hell, i post because i like reading my own writing.

there is no depth to my liking of edwards. i liked his presence in 04, i like his willingness to take on corporate influence in politics. it’s a very focused and direct attack vs obama’s general hope that things will change. if i ran for president, my platform would be mono issue: political reform. elimination of the electoral college, elimination of congress for parlimentary government, elimination of the 2 party duopoly, public sponsorship of campaigns… and 20 year term as president. with some provision for recall, of course. after i reigned for 20 years, of course.

i’m suspicious of “the electorate”, the same electorate that voted in bush twice. the same knee jerk bone heads that rah rah’d the invasion of iraq and forgot about al queda. maybe this time, the electorate will be smarter? doubtful.
