I can remember when I knew no one who had ridden in a plane and when a plane (DC-3) passing over was an event and when it was found that we each had 23 chromosomes and when Crick and Watson discovered the structure of DNA, amazingly from xray refractions and when Asimov predicted no one would ever decode DNA and when inside plumbing was far from being universal and when no one I knew had health insurance and when a single worker could support a family and when only the more affluent workers had an automobile and when a sizable portion of the population did not have a drivers license and when the only credit card was a Diners Club which I had never seen.
Being a hillbilly who lives in the backwash of society and likes it that way, I seem to be in disconnect mode when a fashionable new set of jeans is introduced and I completely miss the point of buying a dress which is one of a kind and which is to be worn once and of course a hillbilly family could live one year on the price. Even further from my world are the blathering idiots who watch the dress being worn on TV and have some sort of whole body orgasm. However I have discovered, due to the many new things I have seen, at least one place these dudes hang out and if you can stomach their writings such as " Breaking: My cousins sister has endorsed Obama and has promised to vote for his reelection when she will be of voting age" Please rec and com this post so it will hang round awhile, then you two can become enlightened.
I got so sick and tired of this, using the scientific name, unadulterated bullshit that I left Kos since there was nothing else to read. I had been a hardcore Edwards man and making any transition was hard. Eventually I reluctantly settled on Obama. Not because he is black, and not because he is almost white enough to pass, and not because he did, didn't, almost did, and finally did become some sort of Christian because it was good for business best I can figger. You should not take offense as I know a bunch of Sunday Christians. I choose Obama because the bag of things he might HOPE for if elected was closest to Edwards. The folk who become enraptured and spoke in tongues (on DKos anyhow) each time Obama spoke drove me from Kos and made me wonder if I had chosen wrong.
As time has passed,I have seen Hillary willing undress herself. It is not a pretty site and those who cannot write their name in the snow should not watch. Now the first article to come off exposed her unbridled ambition. To me unbridled means I will stomp you to death and as many as it takes to have my way. She intends to go down in history as equal partner in the only four term democratic presidency in history. Now the techniques she used in removing that first article would cause one of our Baptist Preachers to blush. I am supposing here as I haver never seen this happen. She ruthlessly attacked Obama with a 'made from whole cloth' story about some clandestine meeting with our mortal enemies, the Canadians. This ridiculous story gained traction from Obama's inexperience makes his explanations sound like confirmations. I don't believe Rove would have tried this gambit.
I surmise that the 'Oh God Oh God I saw a picture of Obama taken by a fellar who saw him in person and took the picture' crowd is a rather shy bunch as after many many hints to STFUP they persist instead of knocking on doors, telephoning, putting up signs, etc they hide behind their computers and crank out garbage which as in my case is counterproductive.
NOW IS THE CRITICLE TIME. Stop the BS and go to work. THE SHIP IS SINKING.
