. . . you've got victory, Baby.

I just hope that there was a teensy bit of restraint, and that no one yelled at Cindy "show me your tits!"

Via Memeorandum.

At HuffPo, via Insty:

Dreams from My Father is a staggeringly beautiful book, lyrical, powerful and poetic. It is also the story of a man who has been many men, all named Barack Obama. In his own eyes, he is one race, but also another. He is an American, but also a Kenyan. He is from Hawaii and also the Kansas heartland. He is Harvard elite, then the Chicago streets. At times he decries the very clay from which he was made, only to remake himself again.

At each place and stage, as Barack Obama chronicles the chapters of his life, he tells us how he has re-invented himself, becoming the role he inhabits, though not falsely or in-authentically, like Bill Clinton. He actually seems to transform himself, becoming what must be next. He has been called distant, aloof and somewhat unapproachable, perhaps because we cannot approach what he does not have, a solid core. His soul seems to be molten and made up of dreams, which is at once breathtakingly inspiring and forbiddingly indeterminate. When this young man with the flowing, passionate core, when this candidate without the solid-center changes positions and transforms himself as we watch, it leaves Americans much more in doubt about who he is and how he would lead us. It also reveals an Obama of unapproachable arrogance and inestimable self-regard: He appears confident voters will appreciate his superiority regardless of where he journeys or what he becomes to meet his political ambitions.

John McCain is a complete and well-formed man. Barack Obama is completing himself. As he moves to fit what he perceives to be a right-of-center country, he distances himself from the simple and authentic passion of a young candidate who once pledged "Change We Can Believe In."

This is the trap Barack Obama has made for himself, the one he cannot escape, the one Hillary Clinton foresaw, the one that may doom him. The Obama campaign knows it too. In fear the dream is being lost drop-by-drop, they are going negative on John McCain.

. . . gets the final word on loose accusations of racism in the campaign.

Holy shit, is this funny.

Are there any adjectives that might conceivably be applied to Barack Obama that do not mean "black"?

Just askin'. If someone were to distribute a list of acceptable words to use in discussing the man, that might help a lot of people out.

You'll put the Golden State in play, at this rate. That would be a nice little present to Johnny Mac's campaign.

. . . at PJ Media, on the Hillary voters who don't like to be flipped off by the media and their party:

Beyond November 5 Murphy tells me her group will continue on: “The vast majority, and 40% of us are male by the way, know the Clinton campaign for all intents and purposes is over. This is about the party. This is about reforming the party.”

I asked her about the media’s role. She believes, “It was the perfect storm. There is and continues to be a love affair with this young, charismatic guy.” But she says that’s not all. She continues, “It is my opinion that blatant sexism is much more acceptable than racism. It was okay for Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann and Mike Barnicle to make jokes. No one said anything. It was all completely acceptable and funny [to them].”

Why? Because the leaders of the fucking country decided to lead for a fucking change.

Life is good.

Tomorrow isn't just finish-those-errands I've told my husband I'll do day.

Tomorrow is when I get that stuff out of the way, spend an hour on my writing project and an hour editing and an hour blogging—and then help to take the energy fight to the streets.
