america’s next top president
i think i have election fever. its great to watch the primaries and realize that all three of the front runners have some qualities that i admire and some stances on issues that i can get behind. hillary gets lots of bad press i think but she ultimately has a pretty great track record as a senator. obama is my man and the thought of a very new face in the nation’s highest office is exciting. and mccain is pretty great too. all in all its going to be a really interesting road to the white house.
i mean i think that to make it more interesting we could turn it into a reality show where they all have to live together on the campaign trail and allow people to vote via text message but that’s not going to happen in this election. maybe 2012. we can hope.
anyway i am officially sick of winter. like for real. i have such cabin fever. i have barely ridden my new bike which is rediculous but so is the fact that every other day we get another 6 inch heap of white fluff. im trying to look forward to spring league ultimate, a summer of racing on my bicycle (ive joined a sweet cycling team called team pegasus) and feeling the sunshine on my face…. but its snowing sideways right now.
so i was inspired by vijays post to man up and start repping my blog again. (cu for life!) i miss everyone! turns out the tv isnt my real friend no matter how safe it makes me feel. i miss chuck-town, and bk, and ms. ulty and especially willis and little joe. ive been having some work drama so ive been trying to focus during the day and not blog but the blog must go on.

whee! two posts in two days! btw, on that political note, an interesting analysis of clinton’s vs. obama’s health care policies can be found here: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/04/opinion/04krugman.html

Uh-oh, CU goes political?
A good rebuttal to Krugman: http://www.prospect.org/csnc/blogs/beat_the_press_archive?month=02&year=2008&base_name=krugman_wrong_on_obama_and_man
And Robert Reich ways in:

I used to favor Clinton’s plan, now I am mixed. Regardless, I trust her to fuck it up and not get anything done and sell out people more than most things in the political world. So, it never really mattered much to me what her plan is. McCain is so 2000.
Glad to see more posting..

it’s that little “e”. i love the blog too, i’ll try to get back in the saddle. i have election fever too and am SO happy romney dropped out! i hate him with the passion of a thousand burning suns. but it’s surprising - i mean, he isn’t trailing by the much. seems to me like he’s ‘fraid of losing. chicken.
