Okay, I'm kind of fuming right now. Via, TPM, I just learned that Peter Feldman, John McCain's Pennsylvania communications director , had been pushing the now-discredited story about the "mugging and mutilation" of Ashley Todd, one of McCain's volunteers.

"Do not trust to hope. It has forsaken these lands." - Eomer, The Two Towers

Chicken Little that I am, I've thus far refrained from buying any Obama t-shirts or brandishing any Obama bumper-stickers on my car, for fear that they would soon become obsolete if he lost the nomination battle. Despite being an ardent supporter for well over a year, and despite the fact that we've known Obama would be the nominee for quite some time, I just couldn't bring myself to hop onto the Obama schwag-wagon. I guess you could say that was lacking in the intestinal fortitude department. Thankfully, ladies and gentleman, I am here to tell you that I have finally overcome my fear and have taken the plunge.

Have a gander at the stylish sticker adorning my car at this very moment:

As an unrepentant geek and an aficionado of high-quality television, I'm a big fan of the Sci Fi channel's critically-acclaimed show, Battlestar Galactica (If you haven't watched it before, do yourself a favor and check it out--but you definitely want to start at the beginning). My commenting and diary histories also attest to the fact that I am a committed and passionate Obama-supporter. What does a great television drama have to do with the next President of the United States of America? Well, seemingly nothing--but I aim to change that.

Follow me past the jump, and I'll tell you what I mean.

Feeling frustrated about tonight's sham of a debate? I know I sure am. I'm pissed off at ABC for managing to succeed in the seemingly-impossible task of bringing our national discourse to a point even lower than it was before.

Have you ever read a political piece that is so striking in its accuracy and powerful in its ability to accurately diagnose some unhealthy aspect of our society's nature that you just want to stand up and shout its message to the heavens (and your neighbors)? Well, I just did.

Hi All,

This is going to be short, and I apologize in advance for that, but I just wanted to spread the word on something. Via TPM, I just heard some great news. Follow me past the jump to find out what it is. . .

Warning: you probably won't like this diary. Hell, if had been written two weeks ago, I wouldn't have liked it either. I don't recommend reading it and suggest that you turn back now. If you do read it, don't expect any sense-making of clear-thinking--this is a rant through-and-through. If I was more level-headed, I'd probably censor myself, but since I'm not, I've got a few things to get off my chest.

Alright, Kossacks, I have a confession to make. You see, I have an ugly skeleton in my closet, and, much as I was hoping to keep it hidden forever, Geraldine Ferraro has seen through my clever charade, and now I am left no choice but to come clean.

The dirty details are below the fold.

As we continue to watch the election results today , I think it's worth pausing for a moment to remind ourselves, once again, what the Bush Presidency has meant for this nation and this world: waste, corruption, incompetence, arrogance, and death.

And today, we learn that the cost is even higher than we previously knew:
