Speaking of coming up for a world of hurt, did you happen to catch the CBS evening news report with Scott Pelley on Mitt criticizing Obama’s speech? It looked designed to make Mitt appear to be the nominee already, showed Mitt walking up to the microphone stiffly, but not in those stupid-looking jeans and shirt outfit this time, and stuttering and awkwardly missing the mark in his criticism, apparently afraid to seem to go too far or offend Obama supporters. Maybe CBS edited it that way, but it just seemed so weak, even strange.
What's done is done. I'm not even going to pay attention to any more of it until the convention. What I do know is, in the way that KenyaCo bypasses every other elected or appointed body in the country, there's probably a way to yank the frigging broadcast licenses of every alphabet network regulated by the FCC. None of them serve the good of the greater public anymore - it's like some media Invasion Of The Body Snatchers. Just call me Miles Bennell.
"As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their hearts desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."
