it is game over for campaign '08, and yes John McCain won.
Good Ghod you just know Steve has wanted to write that column since January first. There is no cliche so loved by today's columnists than the whole "democrats in disarray" meme, once they write it their frontal lobes can shut down for good thus they can sit back, relax and let history wash over them like a burst sewer pipe.
Ah but this time, the shifting fortunes of democratic politics have defied Herr Stark's powers of prediction
, hence we don't get the "all Hope is Lost" column til now.
So if it is really game over, then will the Phoenix simply stop running Steve Stark's column?
No we would never get that lucky.
Which means we will have to read THIS particular column of his some twenty eight more times between now and the first Tuesday in November.
And to think, on each and every iteration, Steve gets paid as well, it fairly boggles the mind.
Honest to Ghod, if tomorrow congress passed a law outlawing the use of cliches by the punditariat, Steve Stark would be the first to dry up and blow away.
The man is a tedious and inane batherskite, the "Jack Van Impe" of local editorialists addicted to announcing impending doom in tones stentorian.
Ah but what of it, don't they all have do this at one time or another? Actually, Steve's worst sin is a simple one, he is a very bad writer. Pompous, boring, repetitive and addicted to predicting the past, that is the Steve Stark style in precis' form.
Writing is like currency policy, bad copy drives out good copy. How else to explain the persistent literary hangover that is Steve Stark?
