Extramarital affair aside, this is the most popular image of Rielle Hunter on the web, according to google images:

Now the image that CNN chose:

Rielle gets punked here too, of course. But most people are going to think Edwards likes to bang witches after they see this picture.

Send Obama a Blank Void Check

BRANDON, South Dakota (CNN) -- Sen. Hillary Clinton said Friday that she regretted comments that evoked the June 1968 assassination of Robert Kennedy as part of her explanation for why she was staying in the presidential race late into the primary season.

I don't like to partake in conspiracy theories, but this just scares me.

Watching our currency decline is depressing. I'm considering putting some of my savings into a foreign currency because I don't see any reason for the dollar to rise anytime soon. Bush is dumping trillions of dollars into Iraq and American companies who don't pay income tax.

You might be so dazed by countless Republican scandals in the last 4 years. You might be wondering if a Elliot Spitzer, a hypocrite who built his career enforcing laws might be a Republican. Elliot Spitzer isn't a Republican. He doesn't have Republican family values. If Elliot Spitzer were Republican, he would have the following requisite family values:

Joining the Republicans and betraying Democratic values again, Feinstein voted down an amendment to a bill which would have stripped the bill from providing immunity to telecom corporations for aiding President Bush in spying on Americans.

I called Dianne Feinstein's office at least 3 times about this issue and I've emailed her on several other occasions. She obviously hasn't listened to me, but maybe if enough people flood her with angry calls and letters she'll start to understand.

These are very interesting propositions. California have basically been thrust in the middle of tribal strife between Native American tribes. These propositions are referendums, which means that the State Legislature already passed them, and the governor has already signed them. Rival Indian Tribes (and 2 race tracks) spent enough money to raise a referendum, knowing full well that when voters aren't sure about a proposition they tend to vote "no". When in fact, the default action on a referendum should arguably be "yes".

The official summary suspiciously gets this one wrong. Prop 93 does not reducde term limits. Prop 93 changes term limit. Only in a narrow sense does prop 93 reduce term limits. In general, prop 93 lengthens term limits - as is portrayed in most pro-93 ads.

Proposition 92 has an annual cost of over $300,000,000 with marginal benefit, as far as I can tell. At a time when California cannot afford it's current spending level, we cannot ethically spend this much money. Here are the main reasons to vote against 92:

If you're reading this page it's because you haven't read your official voter information guide! I'd highly recommend you get out your voter information guide and read the official summaries. Then come back here and comment if you disagree or agree with me.

Prop 91 is a non-issue. For better or worse, California previously passed Prop 1A which accomplished the same goals.

All of them are scoundrels of the first order, with the possible exception of Ron Paul.

Ron Paul, however, is crazy. He's a closet racist and his economic theories from the 1800s are not going to help. Honorable mentions for his beliefs in individual freedoms and his goal of a balanced budget.

My top candidate is John Edwards because he is the only candidate who seems to care that corporations run most of the government. Media consolidation, the military industrial complex, pharmaceutical gouging, lobbyist power (and conversely less power for the average american), and pork barrel spending are just some of the problems we face because of unchecked corporate greed. If you care about these issues, vote for John Edwards. If you don't care about these issues, you should.

My ballot picks and reasoning thereof for the February 5, 2008 election in California:

Over a dinner conversation tonight I started to come up with various reforms to make this country a better place. These are in no particular order and there are undoubtedly many others which I haven't though of yet. Feel free to post your wishlist in the comments.

I watched many clips of the youtube Republican Debate. It amazed me - the debate was a scramble for the Crown of Crazy.

Do you really want another 4 years living under loonies? Then make sure you vote.  Not only that, but make sure everyone you know votes too.

This post is to show you naysayers that when you speak your mind to politicians, your voice is heard. If you are lucky your voice resonates strongly with the politician as it did in my case. Was it my articulate prose, or my concise argument that moved Diane Feinstein to such a response? I may never know, but I am proud to show the world that my political concerns matter, and that Diane Feinstein truly cares about Californians. My emphasis has been added.
