I sent him the link and told him that this was a parody, and not true. I got back a screed telling me he is sick of me and I could go to hell, it came from a “source” he trusts, and ending with a “Goodbye, and never contact me again!”.

I guess what bothers me the most is how awful we’ve all gotten towards each other. We’ve gone so far off the rails that many have made derisive blogposts about a dead horse. It was appalling. Thank heavens the Great Orange Satan moved beyond that. But TPM has bloggers posting on it still, crowing on, on it’s cafe side.

This political season, I’ve met the enemy and it’s us, members of the purportedly reality based community.

I’m an instant run-off kind of guy and I would just as soon walk into the voter booth on election day and rate every single person who wants to be president in order of preference so I will never understand why anyone drops out. Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee and Bill Richardson and John Edwards could all still be there for all I care but the rules say the field will be narrowed to two strong candidates who will find it almost impossible to pull away unless they have staggering strong support which kind of makes sense I guess which is where we are and if it doesn’t settle itself then people with a huge personal interest in the outcome have to get together and pick the one they think is going to deliver. I think Hillary would make a good president, but no one has ever built a party like Obama. He raises money and draws voters in unheard-of numbers. Winning the White House and being a good president are like minor side effects of what he is doing. So good luck picking. Happy to keep Hillary as a Senator. She’s on track to be one of the best ever, in case you haven’t noticed. Ok, that’s it. I’m never coming back here.</p> Ok, first of all, I gotta go thru Firedoglake lost login info and back to the mailbox and change browsers and all over again thru clickclickclickclickhell just to get on here and make a complete ass of myself so I have to rilly rilly rilly want to do this, so here goes.

I don’t hate Hillary. I’d vote for her against any Republican.

But she’s fucked. Obama played the “I got game” card at the perfect strategic moment in Indiana and North Carolina, immediately after the media barrage (Mach 2) over Rev. Wright.

“The next President of the United States is open!” from UNC coach Roy Williams was priceless, a real deal-sealer.

As far as being pleasant goes…this is TBogg, bitches!
