It is a time of fear in the face of freedom, a time for the widening of previous roads and the opening of new paths, a time of an emptying country and swelling cities, yet a time when these paths are mined by knowing algorithms of the all-seeing eye. It is the time of the warrior's peace and the miser's charity, when the planting of a seed is an act of conscientious objection.

These are the times when maps fade and direction is lost. Forwards is backwards now, so we glance sideways at the strange lands through which we are all passing, knowing for certain only that our destination has disappeared. We are unready to meet these times, but we proceed nonetheless, adapting as we wander, reshaping the Earth with every tread. Behind us we have left the old times, the standard times, the high times. Welcome to the irregular times.

strange hourglass

Her name is Hillary Clinton

Filed under Democrats, Election 2008, Politics, Sex and Gender by Jim at 8:24 am

I am getting tired of hearing about “Hillary.” “Hillary” is the name of a little girl or a close friend. “Hillary Clinton” is the name of a presidential candidate. I am aware that Hillary Clinton actively promotes the reference to her as “Hillary” with no last name, but that doesn’t make it appropriate: it just means that the Clinton campaign is actively manipulating the connotations that go along with first-name reference. Hillary Clinton is not a little girl, and she is not (to 99.9% of you) a close friend any more than George W. Bush is someone you actually were going to have a beer with. Say it with me: “Hillary Clinton.”

    But camparing Jeremiah Wright to John McCain Minister ,,You
    Can not compare,,, John McCain,, the minister he know just gave him Money,,he does not Go to his church,,, He did not Baptise john McCain kids,,, he is not on John McCain Campaign,, Just gave John McCain money,,, to compare him with Jeremiah Wright is something the Media, and the Obama Camapaign,, doing,,Barack Obama Has a Racist man who worked on his Campaign,, Jeremiah Wright, ,, who helped Barack with the title of his book,,, who baptise his kids, Barack Obama Miinister, gave Louis Farrahkan life time achievement award, ,,, Barack Obama who went to this Racist mans church,,, for 20 years,
