In the News… Extended.

- Has Senator Clinton been knighted as the nominee? “Hillary Clinton has acquired a near-lock on the Democratic establishment in the nation’s capital.“
- The left-wing blogosphere has, again, “declared political war against centrist Democrats,” and I will not partake. I do not support the Iraq war, but these democratic representatives were duly elected.
- John Edwards is promising change — Isn’t that what all presidential candidates do? Things will be the same if you elect me. (Although, that’s what Gore should have done, right? Supposedly.) — but would things actually be different with a mega-rich southern trial lawyer in the White House? (I’m just saying.)
- The Democratic Congress is losing support from democratic Californians. Bring the troops home.
- Rudy Giuliani has hired a media consultant specializing in ads with “racial overtones.” Rudy must be looking to win big in South Carolina.
- The Joint Chiefs will tell the president that “it is of crucial strategic importance to reduce the size of the U.S. force in Iraq in order to bolster the military’s ability to respond to other threats.” Bush doesn’t plan on listening, however, and will just say that U.S. will succeed, just like in Vietnam.
- A new universal health care plan will be proposed by Hillary… in September, on the same day the report on Iraq makes headline news. (I’m being too cynical, I know.)
- Mitt Romney’s universal health care plan calls for state-by-state coverage, which is at least something. Coming from a conservative, that is huge, not just the “let the insurers control our lives” mantra-bullshit typical-republican-hack no-new-ideas let-me-burn-in-hell.
- And who cares about Yahoo! video, just finish up video for Flickr, so I can share my videos with my friends, just like my photos, on your wonderful photo-sharing web site. Wouldn’t that be nice?

The left-wingers should be taking aim at right-wingers, not at fellow Dems. Ideologically, they’re no better than right-wingers who demand “litmus tests” for ideological purity before they will support a csndidate. Aren’t the Dems supposed to be better than that?

Absence of the bigger picture, in my opinion.
