Because we called a weatherman, and he told us which way the wind blows.

Former U.S. presidential hopeful John Edwards has endorsed Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination, saying it is time for the party to come together behind the Illinois Senator.

Edwards, a former senator from North Carolina, told a cheering crowd in a stadium in Grand Rapids, Michigan Wednesday that Obama can create lasting change in America by “taking down the walls” that divide Americans along class lines.

Also, he can fly. It’s a good skill set.

I like Obama slightly better than Hillary. Neither one seemed particularly interested in my vote – not that anyone who courts my vote has ever won shit, so probably a smart strategy – but Obama seems to come along slightly less reluctantly to the Editorially-correct line on things; occasionally volunteers that he’d like to leave Iraq, and says so in ways I find mostly believable; and is just marginally more appealing to me as a candidate and a President than Hillary. Mostly, though, I don’t really care who wins, and think they should both drop out and endorse The Dodd for Supreme Eyebraufuhrer of the Universe. That’s what I think, and – apart from the Eyebraufuhrer thing – that’s apparently what the Democratic electorate thinks. The chicken cordon bleu sounds tempting, but we’ve decided on the caesar salad. Thanks for your time. And now we’d all like to bitch about football, more football, and maybe the progressive rock of the 1970′s, because after listening to the asshole chorus for the past several million years months, we’re pretty much sick of politics for a good, long, while. Oh, there’s a general election after this? And it’s going to be a billion times stupider more annoying? Wonderful. Excuse me while I go play in traffic.

Anyway. Hillary: whatever. You win some, you lose some. This is the latter case. Don’t be the last on your block to figure it out.
