I’ve been in the Lascaux caves.

I’ve seen drawings of wild cattle, the aurochs, that haven’t existed for 10,000 years.

This Huckabee thing drives me to the brink of my own insanity.

That a man who so incomprehensibly denies the proofs of science in the name of an overlording space daddy can be a legitimate candidate for the most powerful office in the world.

AAAAAIIIIIGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!

Fuck the Huck.

Young-earth whacko lunatic freakshow dipshit psycho douche.

The man believes the earth is six thousand years old.

Younger than Assyria.

Younger than Sumeria

Younger than China.

Younger than Homo Neanderthalensis.

Younger than fucking Lucy the Australopithecus aferensis.

Younger than every dinosaur known to archaeology.

The Fuckster is certifiably insane.

He should be a perfect choice for this certifiably insane country.

Huckleberry is very media savvy. Better than Clinton, but saddled with a tougher sell message. Romney on the other hand is as wooden as anyone I’ve seen running for the top job.
It took me a while, but I’ve figured out that attributes I mention in my first paragraph are the most important. The policies matter a little bit, but the stroke the guy can put on a camera and a bobblehead matters a lot.
So somehow this guy is going to wipe the floor with der Mittster and Rudy, and lose to a very lucky democrat. Lucky because they got to run against a creationist minister. If it wasn’t for that I’d be etching his name on the trophy right now.

Mitt is the one to look out for, because most Americans do not and will not pay an iota of attention to the things we know and despise about him. As we saw with the Bush phenomenon, they can’t detect a phony on the campaign trail, especially when the press is busy sucking up to said phony. They’ll see a handsome, swave, plausible guy, a fella who talks nice and who you’d like to have a sarsparilla with (given that he doesn’t drink beer).

Let’s not forget that an arguable majority of people in this country like the kinds of things he said in his “Freedom Requires Religion” speech. Some of them think atheists and Buddhists and Those Kinds of People are not real Americans, anyway. And the ordinary unchurched-but-claiming-belief (”C & E”) Christians are as ignorant of Mormonism as a pond of frogs, and/or pride themselves on their tolerance of a “Jesus-believing” religion practiced by such smiley, upstanding people (”He seems so NICE!”). If Mormons are so socially pleasant and upbeat and moral and all, their religion can’t be that bad, right?

It’s only the hardest of the hardcore fundies who will turn down a certified Republican charmer like the Mittster for the mere peccadillo of being a Mormon. And they’re a minority that he can win without, given that he’ll be able to hoodwink those millions of voters who decide on instinct and personal conversations (in other words, on the basis of whatever media “image” gains greatest currency). The press will make love to handsome, glib, smooooooth Mitty, and they will again spurn the bookish, tiresomely serious Democrat.

This joint crashed my browser again when I came in tonight. What is UP with that? Grrrr.

Yes, the money guy always wins, and in this case it is Guliani, period. He’s way more connected financially; Huckabilly is a temporary spring break fling, Once we start getting primaries from states that are less, ah, rabidly Xtian, Huckabilly hits the dirt.

Huckabee is way more dangerous than Mitt. Huckabee seems like a nice guy but tends to throw temper tantrums and is a brittle Xtian. He is a tad bit less dangerous than Gouliani. Mitt will never clear the Mormon hurdle. And John McCain is a tweeb. And that is all I have to say about that.

Stand back. They’re starting to sling blood as they eat they’re young. Hope everybody has plenty of popcorn stocked up. We had a run on popcorn at our local supermarket.

PS: I would dearly love to see a debate between Barrack Obama and Mike Huckabilly.

I seem to recall a book by Arthur C. Clarke, The Songs of Distant Earth, in which, as part of the “history” of the soon-to-be-burnt-in-a-supernova planet Earth, that, eventually, the position of President would be filled by a lottery. Also, that, somehow, people who really, really wanted the job were identified and disqualified from the lottery.

As the years go by, this approach sounds more and more reasonable.
