Sure, the propaganda media organs have tried to make this Jeremiah Wright thing into a monster. Most people I know just are not concerned about this absurdly overblown Jeremiah Wright frenzy. Most people do not even have much faith in the propaganda media organs anymore. Then there is this:

Doom.

Okay, Let's Vote! Vote For Your Life!

Time for real democracy! You can give just one vote to any reasonably qualified possible presidential candidate you want! Regardless of party. You can give just one vote to each of up to ten candidates in a comment on this entry. The votes will be added up, and the six candidates who get the most votes will go to a runoff entry (in a following diary entry, after (give-or-take) ten responses come in).

In case of a tie, we will wait for another vote, or, if we must, toss a coin, as there is no other solution in such a scenario.

Then, you can give just one vote to any of the six remaining candidates you find acceptable (who will be listed in a second diary entry, after ten (give-or-take) responses come in).

The two of the six who get the most votes will go to a third runoff, in which the one who gets the most votes wins (in a third diary entry, after ten (give-or-take) responses come in). Please give your list of acceptable candidates last-name-first, as in "Dodd, Chris".

Start voting!

I am certainly no Ron Paul supporter (I want Kucinich, or maybe Edwards). This is just raw information from the web. You decide what to make of it.

I want to just let the data reported here speak for itself. I got these links from comments on BradBlog. I have global HTML copies of these pages archived, just in case...

Here are the pages' URLs:

Well, that's all folks.

By PAUL KRASSNER

Inspired ironically enough by a right-wing comic strip, Prickly City--a talking dog complains to publisher Arianna Huffington, "Let me get this straight. Advertisers pay you for Huffington Post, but you don't give any of us bloggers a single penny?"--the newly formed Bloggers Ego Guild (BEG) have called for a strike.

"You Don't Bring Me Scab Goons Anymore"

Sick of it? Had enough?

Come to my little blog. And go on strike!!!

Chuck Hagel -- Our Next President?

Before I go further, please check out this video (gotta scroll down to it):

Raw Story
Senator Chuck Hagel slams Bush Iran policy

Now try to tell me that this guy is not the next GOP presidential contender. And make no mistake, this guy is a stealth neocon. The only way this guy differs with Bush et al., is in regard to the wars! All of the other GOP "contenders" are absolute clowns!

We know it's not going to be Ron Paul. We know it's not going to be any of the other bozo GOP "contenders," do we not? (Paul is a bozo too, but he's a smart bozo, with an actual agenda.) We are not quite that dumb.

Let's look at reality. The Vice SOB was never, ever, legitimately elected. All he is good for is starting multi-TRILLION dollar wars. He is simply a menace to society. So Impeach the bastard already.

Why let the faint-hearted fools slither out of this by "tabling" the impeachment resolution? Just impeach the fool and be done with it! Enough already.

Hillary has to do a little MORE than cast some token vote that gets "covered" by some other Senators on the blood-for-oil team. I need to see her FILIBUSTER some really huge war appropriation, regardless of whatever window dressing comes attached to it. NOTHING LESS! And It has to be a three digit -- $100+ BILLION appropriation. I am getting more, not less, pissed. I HAVE HAD IT WITH THIS BULLSHIT! NO MORE BLOOD-FOR-OIL-MONEY -- PERIOD.

The Brits have cut their losses. And MI6 must know something. I have lost all patience with this procedural merry-go round!
