This blog used to be about politics. Not so much anymore as I have worked through my fascination with that subject. It now seems appropriate that with a new president and the end of the Bush nightmare that I move on to new subjects that are more in line with my current interests. I may still occasionally express an opinion about political matters but for the most part I will be commenting on music, photography and personal observations. Thank you for reading.

wait wait wait wait.... talk talk talk talk....

I uh.... watched the televised debate from NM. My few quick thoughts:

Mosely Braun - Nice, but she seemed to be just parroting alot of the same old liberal rhetoric without a lot of nuance. But she has a good stance on most issues.

Lieberman - Ugh, More US troops into the Iraq-mire and an "out of left field" swipe at Dean that was pre-scripted by his campaign staff.

Dean - Most of his answers were from speeches elsewhere, kind of a letdown really. His power seems to be at getting people organized

Gephardt - (yawn).. oh, is he done talking? Way to rant about workers.. let's see a little more of that passion when you're in office!

Kerry - Oh good lord, king of the vague Bush bashing and "i'm above the fray" safe phrases about "leadership" and "responsibility".

Edwards - Not sure what to make of this guy... his whole shtick seems to be "elect me, I want to do right by people". Which I have no problem with, but give me some insight to your mind.

Kucinich - Too bad he's a short funny looking guy, because otherwise he seems to be the only guy with a clue about what's going wrong with America. Sure, his programs might bring the economy down around our necks, but hey, I almost say its worth a try.

-------------

In short, dump the Senators. They were there when all the horrible crap they're ranting about happened and they didnt do anything about it, so why whould we think they'll do anything when their president? I liked Kucinich, which I'm sure confirms your worst fears about me. But its not like his positions are going to be great fundraising slogans. So he really seems to believe what he says, which is refreshing, even if America is not even close to listening right now. He'll look like a genius years from now, but he won't be president. Dean is a good compromise, we can only hope that his "people" that he's attracted in droves can affect real change.

That was short right? Sharpton was absent, and Graham was a non-entity.
