@Mabelle

Who would ever presume Obama's inevitability, we've already seen how that worked for Clinton's campaign to be her blindest liability.

Thanks as always for the trolling concern, where Hillary fucked up, who knows! Perhaps Obama will learn.

Keep reading your tarot cards.

@Mabelle

Believe you me, Obama and his supporters take nothing for granted, but I tend to take some umbrage when a critic's views are so obviously, so profoundly, so grotesquely slanted. If nursing your inner Ahab is the driving force of your lonely personal political quest, then I urge you to take it to the seven seas, and give it all your very personal best. For indeed, if your blindly enraged heart were a canonball, it should surely split your soul in two, but for those of us with hope in our hearts, this race is hardly through.

Adieu.

You hit the nail right on the head, this is MTV at its "realest," another TV pose instead.

Josie, whatever your beef with Hutman, hell, I don't care, but is it really very polite to go into somebody's underwear?

Now you have what?

The race race?

What insane asylum did YOU escape from?

Monday, August 4, 2008 04:32 PM

Sounds good to me

In states like Louisiana where I used to live that have economies deeply dependent on petroleum production, limited offshore drilling is an idea that people have been waiting to see happen. Make it so.

Fuck the Germs!

What about a movie about the Avengers or Culturcide or Really Red or maybe even Roky Erikson? L.A. was the epicenter of a scene that sucked. X were good and there were other good bands from that antisocial social sect as well, but the Sunset scene was really essentially pure Hollywood, which is exactly what this movie sounds like. Like some kind of belated Beatlemania for retarded, uber-reverential fans of the fucking Germs. How about a movie about the Stooges? Iggy's still alive ain't he? O'Hehir is right, see Spheeris' doc instead, or rent X The Unheard Music. I can't wait to see the Butthole Surfers make a movie and call it "Blow it Your Ass."

As I see it, the race will be in stasis

Till a certain candidate knows his places.

Tuesday, August 5, 2008 04:07 PM

Is this what I read

Like flogging a horse that's already dead

Something like "ain't it a bitch

but Obama just hasn't found his niche?"

Poor horse.

Tuesday, August 5, 2008 04:30 PM

@melthough

Obama doesn't have a family dog? He should at least introduce the public to a family house cat, that great patch of unwashed couch potatoes glued to their boob tubes out there demand important things like that. A kiity cat communicates to the public, "Feel comfortable with this candidate." It sounds to me that Obama will not break the line of scririmmage until he deals with all these little fine points of particular importance to his image.

Then come to this theater

For the motion picture

That will put you in traction...

My sympathies that you're a Salon subscriber

For myself

I've never been one of its most ardent

As Joans says of Obama

"admirers."

I'm sorry I stuttered at my post's outset

But I am always starstruck

When addressed by anybody of pundit class set.

@AGL2008

All of those "thwacks!" bring a Batman movie to mind, if we peeled away Joan's concerned vaneer, do you think it'd be a Joker we'd find?

Tuesday, August 5, 2008 05:42 PM

@jeb

If for every time I had a dime, for the number of instances you reffered to race, I'd be so rich it'd be a capital crime. Why don't you go do a foot race in five 'O clock traffic?

Tuesday, August 5, 2008 05:54 PM

A little poetry:

I'm of a mind

To tell you and your race fixation

To stick it

Where the sun don't shine.

Tuesday, August 5, 2008 06:05 PM

@jeb

I accuse you of being a jerk, chasin' at race, any cheap parlor trick that might work.

Tuesday, August 5, 2008 07:09 PM

I would read your posts thoughtfully if there were any thoughts contained there in.

Looks like The Stupid Express to me.

But it'll probably do an okay business. With Apatow and a bong how can it go wrong?

Tuesday, August 5, 2008 08:24 PM

Holy Hillbillies jeb

With you it's the same circular, repetitive routine, Obama's "experience factor" on the political scene.

Tuesday, August 5, 2008 08:54 PM

@forever known as

I respectfully disagree. One liners tend lend a sense of humor, lightness, and glee.

Tuesday, August 5, 2008 08:57 PM

But forever

If you gotta work on your jerk try not to squirt.

Tuesday, August 5, 2008 10:05 PM

@Fester

I second that. Pontification is not taking the public's pulse and offering explanation.

Tuesday, August 5, 2008 10:25 PM

@Fester

Naw dawg. I'm just thrillin' like a villain an' killin' like penicillin.

If we both went lookin' for 'ol pharoah's tombs, it'd be called Fester the Quester and Klytus makes two.

Thanks for sharing that my friend.

Tuesday, August 5, 2008 11:09 PM

@chuckv

I can already hear it comin', "sojourner muslim." Or to heighten the "rootless" drama - "Haji Obama."

Tuesday, August 5, 2008 11:19 PM

@lateagain

Man lateagain, for a minute I thought the whole picture you were describing was gonna turn into "The Paralax View."

Weird in the weirdest sense of the word weird.

Tuesday, August 5, 2008 11:41 PM

I prefer the zippier title:

"Have Pants Will Travel"

Or this is kinda cute:

"Dig My New Bat Suit"

Wow Mabelle

"Obama, the undiscovered country." Very compelling, is it a narrative that will catch hold? There's really no telling.
