Groundhog Day

Punxsutawney Editors pokes his head from out of his groundhog hole and – eyes dewy, whiskers twitching, moist nose all a-sniffin’ – looks for signs that Winter is, at long last, over:

I would also like to know how Geraldine Ferrar’s comment about Obama’s success being attributable to his being a black man is more racist than John Kerry’s comment that Obama will be more effective with Islamic governments because he is black. Whatsmore why did Obama never addressed the most racist remark in the campaign which was made by Huckabee in SC? I feel that the media is ramming a black penis down my throat. The man has no political experience or courage. He would make a fine replacement for Reverent Wright. He will prove to be as incompetent as George Bush if elected. If you doubt this just look at his “Present” votes in the Illinois legislature where he did not have the courage to vote “Yes” or “No”. Several of his “Present” votes were related to abortion rights. I have never voted for a Republican before and am no fan of John McCain but I voted for Kerry as a vote against George Bush and will vote for John McCain as a vote against Obama. I hope that other “typical white women” will do the same.

I see six more weeks of primary idiocy. If you need me, I will be in my hole. I will not be sober.

I hate it when people shove giant penises down each other’s throats. It’s so uncivil. Also, I’ve nowhere else to use this line, so I’ll blow it here. In honor of Jeff Goldstein:

“Man, it’s like Obama is walking the dog with his scro-yo all over my face!”

That would be kind of hilarious if McCain won. I mean. c’mon, if that’s not dark comedy what is?

Tsk, tsk, reading the comments at Slate, The Editors? That’s not healthy, and you know it.

Oh, and YHBT. HTH. HAND.

Is a black president ready for America?

Sober would not be sane at this point in the hyperbolic messianic cage match. Can’t these people get a grip? I am not a fan of either Clinton or Obama (they are both center-right candidates for God’s sake), but either would be far preferable to any Republican, especially McCrazy Ponyboy.

Oy.

Me personally, a woman, married, middle aged, a working mother, white, college educated, urban, liberal, fit into the middle class demographic, live in a racially and religiously diverse community, oppose the war, would like us to educate our children, and think it would be neat if people stopped blowing each other up.

A favor I’d like to ask the pundit class (even if they’re just online volunteers): please, for everybody’s sake, but particularly for mine put a rubber band around your wrist. Then, when you feel the urge to make sweeping categorical statements about politics and culture where you identify yourself as speaking for any of the above groups, the rubber band will remind you to smack yourself in the face with a cinderblock.

Thank you.

My husband would like to add male and midwesterner to that list, and he reminds me that I left out religious.
