Seriously, Anonymous, shut the f**k up. Some of us would like to actually be able to have a real conversation about this election without you and Cythera butting every five seconds. And, of course, you're wrong. Arlington is not heavily black. I lived in Arlington for two years. I lived in Alexandria, Virgina for a year. The suburbs of Maryland and Virginia are not heavily black. Not that I care whether they are or not, but I'm tired of hearing your crap. Shut the f**k up. Either you're an insane loser with sixteen hours a day of free time to post rude stuff in comment sections, or you're a Republican. Either way, f**k off. Step away from the computer for a while -- you and Cythera both. Get a life. Stop bothering us; we'd like to have a real conversation here. And in response to whatever insane blather that you post in response to this: shut the f**k up. Seriously.

Oh, and Cythera and Anonymous? Your bullsh*t is clearly showing now. For people who have pretended to love Hillary so much, you seem to have adjusted to her loss surprisingly quickly, and have moved on to doomsday predictions about the death of the Democratic party. I've worked on plenty of campaigns before, and I get it: you're plants. No real person would act the way that you guys do. Hillary loses and you're not sad? Hillary loses and you instantly start predicting the end of the Democratic party? Please. That's not a normal human reaction. No one would act the way that you guys do. Sure, I love Obama, but if he loses, I'll vote for Hillary, no problem. So your (supposed) candidate loses, and that's it? That's the end of the Democratic party? Please. I've worked for many campaigns and I'm sure I got paid more than you guys do, probably because I can write and punctuate correctly. So: give me a break, you -- and let me say this clearly-- loser pathetic jerks who are trying to interrupt a conversation among genuinely interested commenters. And note that I didn't get mad at you right away; it took hundreds of lame repetative comments on your part to make me this mad.

No rational human being would ever predict that the Republicans will win this election. So, as I have said before -- and now that you've both moved on from annoying me to boring me: please f**k off, you losers.

And I want them to get Cythera to stop posting. What he/she is doing isn't posting comments; it's spam. Generally, I leave a message on the comment board about once every two months. But Cythera/Anonymous does it every five minutes, and they're all the same. Cythera, I'm going to see my girlfriend now. But you can still call me. You won't, of course, and I know that since you have infinite amounts of spare time, you'll be able to leave millions of crappy comments after this last one by me. But just remember: you're a coward. And you're pathetic. I hope you keep that in mind. It's important.

I really like Obama, and I just want to be able to read Salon and read articles about the election, and to be able to read the comments. Unfortunately, certain people have decided to use the comment section for spamming purposes. Salon; make it stop. That would be awesome.

thanks,

Oliver Miller.

Aw, Cythera. I'm still waiting for my girl to come over. You read my blogs? That's sweet. That increases my reader count and revenue, so I appreciate it. I'm glad that you've decided to add gay-bashing to your repertoire, thereby further undermining your claim to be an actual Democrat. I have two books coming out this year, but I appreicate the literary criticism. Anyway. All right: I'm out. I've gotta go, and I've gotta stop reading this comment section.

Everyone else, have a good night. I like reading all of your insightful comments. I gave humilating Anonymous and Cythera a shot, but they're obviously shameless. I don't know why I expected anything different. But keep fighting the good fight, guys. From where the sun now sets I will comment no more forever...

Go Obama.

best,

Oliver

You guys can feel free to send me gifts of money or baskets of fruit for getting rid of Cythera45. Yeah, it took a while; but it was worth it, wasn't it?

As for Joan Walsh... it seems odd that she acknowledges that the Superdelegate system is inherently flawed, but then goes out of her way to defend Hillary. If the Superdelegate system is flawed, then Obama's solution makes more sense: just go with the popular vote. Joan argues that we should change the Superdelegate system the next time around, and I'm sure that 99.9% of people agree. But it's Clinton, not Obama, that trying to take advantage of the non-Democratic "smoke-filled room" aspect of the system, so what, exactly, is Ms. Walsh's point? That the system is messed up, and should be changed, but hey, let Hillary try to use it to her advantage if she wants?

By the way: this Clinton/Obama thing has now officially jumped the shark for me. God, I wish that Obama was running against anyone normal; anyone else. Like, say, Edwards, or Richardson, or Biden. That sounds like a beautiful dream now, doesn't it? Now that we're stuck down here wrestling in the mud.

cheers,

Oliver Miller

We won! We won! Salon, you suck for deleting some of my comments! All I'm trying to do is to stop horrible trolls. Anyway, none of that matters now.

We won! Obama won! And Hillary's got nothing left to say for herself. Obama won because... Because it's a caucus? Because people who live in Wisconsin are black? ...Because people who live in Wisconsin are overeducated latté sippers?

Hill; you got nothin', baby.

It's over.

You want the best, you got the best: Obama.

Woooooooooooooooot!

cheers,

Oliver Miller
