    Planet Earth is indeed very pleasant. Why not join us here? Or at least stop sending random missives from the strange planet that sees Senator Clinton as the front-runner and Senator Obama as the candidate who needs to do the "honorable thing" and drop out. What if Senator Clinton did the honorable thing and said:

    "I'm damaging the party, my ads and my praise for the GOP candidate have made it more difficult for us to win in the Fall. I misspoke about NAFTA. And Bosnia. And Iraq, and Ireland. And my taxes. And if the people looked at my campaign they could see I'm not really ready on Day One, because I can't even manage my staff. I've allowed tens of millions of dollars to be wasted from my war chest, I can't find a coherent message, I can't keep my staff from sniping at each other and at the press, and really I only seem to win by either playing the victim or by acting like the very thing I should abhor - a Republican. My husband is damaging the legacy he's worked so hard to rebuild these last eight years, and I'm proving that I care more about my own politcal success than I do either my party or my country. I've been poisoning the electorate so thoroughly that Senator Mccain will have a good chance this November, thus setting up my run in 2012. Realizing all this, I feel I must do the honorable thing and drop out now."

    Yeah, wouldn't that be great?
