Conventional Wisdom

C: What is it? Where does it come from? Is it those famed 100 monkeys typing until Shakespeare or the Bible crops up? Is it a few of those monkeys who couldn't make the literary cut who chuck darts at the WSJ's stock pages and outperform the best money runners out there? Is it a foul stew simmering with Rush Limbaugh, Matt Drudge, the Washington Post, the NY Times, pajama bloggers, Fox News, Chris Matthews and a corporatized media polluted with low rent lazy journalism grads who should be pumping gas in a proper world? I have no idea.

And Political Consultants. What a bunch of hack clusterfuckers, and how do I get on this moneytrain.

Well just as a diesel-powered California pecan tree shaker hums during harvest time, Rudy Giuliani has been thrown off his branch. The man spent the equivalent of an African nation's GDP for one delegate. Who told him it was a good idea to run for the highest office and use fear as your strategy? When the FDNY calls you out as a fraud, who told Rudy to ignore that. You're the real hero Mr. Mayor. Does McCain really want this endorsement?

And Senator Edwards. Johnny E.. The poor don't vote. There are no Diebold machines under bridges. WalMart is the biggest retail operation in the world because low income people don't like being reminded that the American Dream might be a stretch. But thank you for falling on the sword. Katrina was real and embarrassing. Crap health care is embarrassing. Corporate douchebaggery is embarrassing. I've heard we maybe at war too, but Obama not shaking Clinton's hand is the NEWS. It's also embarrassing that your ideas couldn't blow through the Conventional Wisdom. Dude just picked a bad time to the most liberal rich White dude candidate in the room when a woman and an African-American are potentially making history. And any other time this would be a bad outcome.
