Michigan: The State of Stupidity?

Michael Moore has challenged former Senator Fred Thompson to a debate and he included this warning: “I feel obligated to forewarn you that I was the winner of the 1971-72 Detroit Free Press Debate Award for the state of Michigan.” Mr. Moore dropped out of a Michigan Junior College after one semester, if the nonsense concerning the sorry state of debate in Michigan is true then it says volumes about Michigan. However I am skeptical of this claim. Also note that Mr. Moore believes that his latest “film” may be seized by the Bush Administration. Sicko indeed.

Cocks for Clinton?

The above had to be the best sign shown during the MSNBC debate broadcast. The broadcast was from South Carolina State in Orangeburg, just 50 miles south of Columbia, home of the University of South Carolina Gamecocks. The woman (a white woman, if it matters) held the sign and I raced to my recorder as MSNBC tried different angles to avoid the "Cocks for Clinton" girl. She held two signs, the other appeared to be a red Global Warming sign. It also appeared that she was ushered out of camera range by some unknown person or persons.

I didn't think that a group of presidential candidates could sound as uninformed as that group did this evening, especially Gov. Richardson, what a disappointment. On the plus side former Senator Gravel from Alaska actually sounded nuttier than Dennis Kucinich. That alone should make for a lot of comedy during the coming year and a half. We can expect that the media world will only notice the comedy of Kucinich and the guy from Alaska; and of course Bush.

Many thanks to Dr. Sanity and her fantastic Carnival of the Insanities for inclusion again this week.

Debate? We Don’t Need No Stinking Debate!

Apparently our anointed Senator, Barak Obama (D-IL) “don’t need no stinking debates!” This article from the Politico has speculated that both Senator Obama and Senator Clinton (D-NY) are considering boycotting the early debates. I can believe that Obama doesn’t want to debate; the guy has little of substance to say that his handlers want him to pronounce in public. As to Sen. Clinton? Same deal. Senator Obama is quickly making himself into the Chauncey Gardener (from the 1979 movie Being There) of American politics; and I’m not writing about the “I want to watch” nonsense. Senator Obama has written that people put their own views into their opinion of the Senator, much like the Peter Sellers character Chauncey Gardener.
