  what makes it worse

  Is that McCain is going to be the next President.

  Obama and Clinton are both hamstrung already and the nominee hasn't even been picked yet.

  How do I know? I saw the cover of Newsweek today. A funereal blank white page with a small senior high school photo of Obama sporting a 'fro, followed by a caption, in deadly serious small font black letters, which read, "How Barry became Barack".

  The allegation of the cover, and remember most people who see it will not buy the magazine and read the article, only a small minority will, was that "Barry" had undergone some kind of Black Panther radicalization a la Malcolm X and emerged reborn as "Barack".

  In other words, he's toast. Toast, toast, toast.

  Clinton is toast for all kinds of well known reasons. Above all, she can't escape her gender, and accompanying complaints that she is bitchy and shrill.

  McCain was fellated lovingly on the previous cover of Newsweek with a photo of him in his young days, handsome and in full uniform. It was overlaid with a very cropped picture of him in the present day that basically only showed a serious, glaring eagle eye--in other words, he was photographically represented to be about 1,000 times more intelligent than he is. Warm tones, no sinister empty spaces. The headline, "The Making of McCain". Ooooh, baby. Like he's Robocop or something.

  In November McCain will be elected. It's already been settled.

  And then we'll have our great Depression.

  However, it will be the last time the Murdoch dominated media will decide an election. People will be too poorly off to let dumb shit on the television make their decisions for them (right now they are still too comfortable). There are still too many elderly racists and evangelicals alive. The younger generation is not as hampered by these prejudices, which this cycle will still sink Obama and the adulterous Clintons.

  Then we'll have an election in which the Democrats will win or the fraud to keep them from winning will be so evident that people will take to the streets. Then Blackwater will be called out, and the fun will begin.

  I hope to be gainfully employed abroad by the time all this happens. And I do believe it will happen.

  But the depression? yeah it's coming, once oil is traded in Euros it'll pretty much be here.
