The huddled masses have been awaiting my political endorsement as if it were Groundhog’s day and my announcement should bring either extended famine or gracious reprieve. Be anxious no longer for my word is upon you. I gladly endorse the only democratic candidate who is both qualified and electable: obviously John Edwards is our man…. whats that? he already dropped out? Alas, my timing isn’t what it used to be. Well, I always thought he’d make a good Vice President as well…. whats that? he said VP doesn’t interest him? Buckle up then folks, its gonna be a bumpy ride. Plenty of polarized politics to go around for everyone. Don’t expect any middle ground; these candidates are prepared to swing far and wide if thats what it takes to distinguish themselves. Perhaps that was Edward’s downfall; he was just too likable, too much a man of the people. Reminding the middle class that exploitative elitists pose more threat to their way of life than terrorists just didn’t strike enough fear into the populace. As if America needs another decade or two of foreign turmoil before our domestic shortcomings become apparent. America is no stranger to electing the aged; perhaps Edwards will have the courage to run again by 2016. We should be so lucky.

On John Edwards:
entrepreneur (10:23:36 AM): im really interested to see who he’s going to back
Holsom J (10:25:58 AM): it wont matter america doesnt even know john edwards exists
Holsom J (10:26:43 AM): the candidates will remain equally opposed because that is all america can comprehend anymore…polar opposites
entrepreneur (10:25:21 AM): well, i dunno
entrepreneur (10:25:27 AM): he was polling around 20 percent before he dropped out
entrepreneur (10:25:30 AM): he just could never win a state
Holsom J (10:27:09 AM): good and evil, democrat or republican, black man or white woman
Holsom J (10:27:54 AM): he should have been at least at 33% i mean hes a white man with nothing bad to say?
entrepreneur (10:26:30 AM): hahaha
entrepreneur (10:26:32 AM): pretty much
entrepreneur (10:26:37 AM): not good enough for the democrats
Holsom J (10:28:24 AM): fuckn media killed him
Holsom J (10:33:30 AM): they didn’t discuss him as much because he wasnt controversial, then pretended and/or assumed america isnt interested in what he has to say
entrepreneur (10:32:09 AM): yah i would agree
entrepreneur (10:32:15 AM): he’s pretty anti-corporate, anti-media
Holsom J (10:34:08 AM): lets face it controversy brings in the ratings=advertiser rates
entrepreneur (10:36:36 AM): exactly, as long as its controversy that doesnt amount to anything or challenge the status quo
Holsom J (10:43:52 AM): the status quo being a fear stricken populace glued to the incoming broadcast, awaiting the next impending catastrophy
entrepreneur (10:43:15 AM):
entrepreneur (10:46:28 AM): as long as the ads keep coming in
entrepreneur (10:46:32 AM): and the population is complacent…
entrepreneur (10:46:34 AM): everybodys a winner!
Holsom J (10:52:00 AM): but complacency requires ignorance of the true state of things, and the perception of being a winner requires that you agree with the adage -’ignorance is bliss.’
Holsom J (10:52:36 AM): a dangerous proposition
Holsom J (10:55:17 AM): I prefer to think knowledge is power and what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger
