@Xrandadu Hutman (shhhhhhh.....listen....)

Can you hear that? Get reeeeaaallllllll quiet....

yep, I think I hear it:

Is that the sound of somebody scratching their head about how Rev. Michael Pfleger's stupid comments prove that Clinton can't lose a primary or a general election?

no......maybe it's the sound of somebody feeling sad that Barack would associate himself with a church that allows stupid things to be said...or..wait.....

I think it might be the sound of the democratic party growing in strength and vitality due to an increasing number of democrats agreeing with Clinton that she is actually winning the primary by ALL counts and is the victom of a systematic campaign to strip her of her right to run for president. The party grows stronger the more people take her at her word and don't look into it. With the media's help the general, hard working folks of America won't be exposed to an elite analysis of what Clinton's claims amount to...

Or it could be the sound of Obama finally realizing that he has run a crooked campaign by encouraging the worst in his supporters and banking on people swalling the illusion that he can actually make a positive difference in the world.

Boy, maybe it's the sound of Joan's next blog waking up, feet firmly on the ground, having just taken a crip morning shower, brushed it's teeth and getting ready to stop us in our tracks!

Thanks, Joan

Great article; like my mother's stews, it was even better the second time around!
