Edwards, and a system reset

Al Gore — and I love the guy; iin some parallel universe, he was inaugurated in 2000 and even the honeybees are thriving — has passed the tipping point with me.

I have long said: If Al Gore doesn’t run, then I am for John Edwards. No more. John Edwards For President 2008.

I want my country back to the future. I want America to be America again, in a new iteration based on a system reset dated somewhere in 1999.

All the other candidates have some stake in the continuation of the New Aristocracy. John Edwards is a democrat, in the lower-case-d best sense of the word. If he becomes the next president, we have a chance.

How about Rolling Stone Magazine?

Sigh.

Alpha Tortoise

I’m catching the end of the replay of the Chris Matthews Show on MSNBC. The bloviators are discussing the bloviating stylings of Joe Biden! Very funny.

They move on to other possible Democratic Presidents to come: Of course, Joke Line has to smarm about Hillary. He calls Hillary and Obama the hares, as in hares and tortoises. Gloria Boria says Biden could be a hare unless he bloviates, then “ferget it.” They agree Edwards is a “classic tortoise,” Biden might be, and Vilsak might be.

Four words:

Al Gore, Alpha Tortoise
