The presidential field has gotten very crowded over the last week. All sorts of luminaries from Rudy Giuliani to Hillary Clinton (go New York - it's been too goddamn long since we've had a president from the Empire State) to upstarts like Mitt Romney and Barack Obama. I'll be happy if the sucker doesn't come from a southern state. Puhlease let it not be a southern state.
I have no predictions, because as any good political scientist knows, you do not predict a year out, and then when the nominee is selected you say, very intelligently with big jargon, "I totally knew this would be the person."
No other western industrialized democracy has got anything on us when it comes to marathon campaigns. Britain announces an election and four seconds later they vote. Here, in the great United States, we have to plan for elections 20 years from now, I mean, if we're serious about it.
Poor Georgie...lame duck, lame policy, lame lame lame.

Lame, lame, lame (infinity).
Lame or not, the SoU should provide some good laughs. I still think we could patent a drinking game:
- "Terror(ist)(ism) = 1 shot
- "Value(s) = 1 shot
- "Evil" = 1 shot
- Mispronounced word = 2 shots
- Actual good, workable idea = why worry, it's not like it will happen.
Oh no, this year he's talking environment (he's come to Jesus on global warming) and health care reform (taxing those of us with good policies to pay for the poor who have none)...so, maybe the shots should be for any statement that is so clearly bullshit.
If we played your game, we'd be drunk within 5 minutes. Cool!
*So* lame!
