This NYT photo (Doug Mills) is a classic. After nearly falling asleep during the Republican debates I'm trying to pay attention to the Democrats now.

Billary gives me the creeps. Could she be any more phony?
I only saw the end of the Democratic debate, plus a few clips on the internets, but this is what I thought.
* Any of the four would be a better choice than any of the Republican candidates.
* Clinton appeared mostly calm and confident, but every so often a hint of panic showed through. She's been billed as the obvious, safe choice for so long that she's uncomfortable being in second place. She needs to get her "35 years of experience" Tourette's under control.
* I like the words that are coming out of Edwards's mouth, but he just doesn't seem sincere.
* Obama has the unique quality of being a smooth talker but still coming across as trustworthy. If he's elected, his emphasis on health care in the campaign will come back to haunt him. IMHO, this country won't be able to afford universal health coverage for a while.
* Richardson needs to quit quoting his resume in response to every question. He came across as the most informed of the candidates. I think he could make a good president, but he doesn't stand a chance of being elected. He comes across as a frustrated bureaucrat at a time when voters want an energetic outsider.
I'd expect to see either Clinton or Obama take the nomination.
IMHO, this country won't be able to afford universal health coverage for a while.
So then the neo-cons win? They spend all the money on their buddies and the MIC and then claim there's nothing left for SS and health care? Screw them, I don't care if it breaks the back of the dollar, we need investment in renewable energy, health care, and transportation, like ten years ago. They could start with the "southern express" rail system running along the coast from Atlanta to Houston. Screw big daddy Bush, if he can spend money, why can't we?
And if it breaks the back of the dollar, exactly what do you propose that we pay for those projects with?
You're not just talking about screwing the Neocons, you're talking about screwing everyone who depends on the economy that you're so willing to destroy. That might not include you but it sure as hell includes me.
Things like mass transit and universal health care are great, and I think we should have them. But we can't pay for those things if we let the economy collapse and the currency become worthless. More deficit spending is just going to hasten that process.
I hope I'm misinterpreting you, because it sounds like you'd like to see the system brought down regardless of the human cost.
You're not just talking about screwing the Neocons, you're talking about screwing everyone who depends on the economy that you're so willing to destroy. That might not include you but it sure as hell includes me.
Ogg, California got a trillion dollars in mortgage grift, what did I get? That's right, diddly squat. If the Californicators are so intent on destroying this country I say, hell yeah! Let's do it right and get it over with. Or should we all tighten our belts now that California and Bush's MIC have had their fun? To hell with the scamsters and grifters.
Bottom line: The maggots have already stolen all the money, as far as I'm concerned the dollar is already effed.
Well, I can only stomach so much political crap before I need a break, so I spent most of the day media-free until now. We have a long ways to go and I can only take politics in moderation.
I just thought the photo was a great shot.
In other news, Ectomo found an interesting cephalopod artist which ties into a rather poetic passage in a book I’ve been reading and enjoying, _The Inheritance of Loss_ by Kiran Desai:
The forest was old and thick at the edge of the lawn; the bamboo thickets rose thirty feet into the gloom; the trees were moss-slung giants bunioned and misshapen, tentacled with the roots of orchids.
Back in the Edwardian/Victorian days,
an unattached female was not allowed to even view (let alone fondle) an orchid flower, for reasons which we will leave to your imagination.
@Wagga,
It must have been the tentacles. That wasn't a particularly cephalopod-friendly era.
