Just last night I posted that, in light of last Sunday's shameful events at Trinity United, it was high time for Barack Obama to cut all ties with this his church. I didn't get a whole lot of response, but what I did get was overwhelmingly negative. I'm a "McCain supporter" in sheep's clothes, I'm a "rethug", whatever that means. I must be suggesting that Sen. Obama has to distance himself from Saturday Night Live as well, because they have been similarly unkind to Sen. Clinton. Uh, ok. The point is, there was an overwhelming sentiment that nothing other than praise can be written about Obama, that anyone who is anything less than thankful for Barack Obama's very existence has ulterior motives, or worse. Folks, the time has come for these attitudes to be shelved, it is annoying at best, and flat harmful at worst.

Wow! Who knew? I mean, I don't keep up much with the Catholic Church, or the second acts of terrible rappers, but I can't believe I didn't know Vanilla Ice entered the Priesthood! You'd think that woulda been news. Anyway, Father Ice shoulda stuck with music. What an ass! Even more disgusting was the seeming, or unseemly, relish with which the attendees of Trinity United greeted this childish and hate filled diatribe.

I am a foaming at the mouth supporter of Sen. Clinton, a rabid Democrat, and as such, very much a supporter of Sen. Obama as well. That said, when I hear that "nothing has changed" in these last months, it makes me absolutely nuts. It is a fantasy construct that has no basis in either the rules which govern this process, or in any acknowledged history of nominations in the Democratic Party. Folks, bottom line, very much has in fact changed, and Sen. Clinton has a completely legitimate argument to be the nominee of the Democratic Party for the United States of America. As, of course, does the eminently ass-kicking Sen. Barack Obama.

..in the '08 Presidential election were chosen by a panel of politically minded neurons inside of Mr. West85's brain. After careful sorting, they are then tabulated by a select group of top accounting minded neurons located in a completely different section of Mr. West85's brain, with each process being protected by the most protective, some might say paranoid, minded neurons, which are positioned en masse throughout the cramped, dark and horribly tasting confines of Mr. West85's cranial cavity.

First things first. A hale and hearty greeting to all of the denizens of DailyKos! I mean, we're talking full on eye contact, big toothy smile and nod of the head, the shake of the hand, the optional shoulder grab... The works! Hello everybody! Thanks for having me! My name is Matt, I am a mild-mannered retail wine salesman in D.C. by day, and a deeply committed supporter of Sen. Hillary Clinton by night. I am excited to share my views with this community...and awaayyeee we go!
