Hey everybody,


we're all gonna get saved!

Time to fire up the industrial industrial-strength* popcorn maker and enjoy the '08 GOP race.

I can just hear Ted Knight spluttering:

"We can't have this at Bushwood!"

Funny, that.

Since I've been referring to the Shrub as a "bush-league" president for quite some time now...

"Industrial popcorn"?

Is it popped in machine oil? :)

I'm not that fond of popcorn, but I do think the next week or two will be entertaining. My prediction is that Clinton will become very aggressive. She doesn't really have a choice, since she really wants to be preznit. Edwards, in contrast, doesn't seem to view it as a live or die issue. He'd like to preznit, but it wouldn't kill him if he weren't.

What this means is that Clinton can't sit back and wait for Obama to faulter. She has to try to induce the same. Meanwhile, Edwards can afford to wait, which puts him in a very good position. If Clinton succeeds (which seems doubtful), then Edwards can battle with Clinton without previous scars. If Clinton fails to unseat Obama, then Edwards can battle with Obama, himself.

As to when this will happen (as in: The Clinton Offensive): definitely before Super Tuesday. How long after the offensive starts will Edwards wait before starting his battle with the apparent winner is harder to predict. But, either way, the (metaphorical, in my case) popcorn maker will be working overtime.

ps. If I have totally missed the point because "industrial popcorn" is poli-blogger slang for something, then, please, disregard.

I wonder what kind of screaming match there was between Mr and Mrs Clinton in the cruelly-named Presidential Suite at the Des Moines Hilton on the evening the Cosmic Axis shifted and she came in third?

Ya gotta know the Clenis is gonna pull out all the stops on this one. He'd love nothing more to have his right hand cupping his balls and waving them in the Repukes faces with one hand and yanking the levers of power behind the scenes with the other.
I'm not so sure that Edwards ain't in the catbirds seat right now though.

AS far as I can tell, it's: saved, shot or shoveled in.
Nice buy that Baptist preacher.

I thought almost instantly of the machine-oil joke because:

Years ago, a neighborhood gasoline station expanded into a convenience store and began selling, among other prepared foods, fried chicken. My grandma, on hearing that the chicken came from the Shell station, asked jokingly if it was fried in motor oil. It was "Motor Oil Chicken" in our family after that. :)

It was actually the best takeout fried chicken in town, however; it was tasty and MUCH less greasy than Church's or KFC's. Alas, the chain went out of business a year or two ago. :(
