"Tough Enough" is doing the Lord's work in recounting John McCain's many failings and sins on his way to campaign 2008.
The same goes for "Kerry Healey Out of Touch" for holding the Lieutenant Governor's feet to the fire in this election year.
What the blogosphere is good for, is concentrating itself on certain candidates & causes to a degree shunned by the alleged mainstream media. They aren't doing their job so the hard work of questioning John McCain's nigh papal infallibility or puncturing Kerry Healey's pretenses falls to us for better or worse.
Good luck guys.

Book burning circa 2006
the ugly facts can be found here
Ours is a feeling age, the right values or emotions are more important than the facts or toleration or due deference to the law.

John Kerry Surfaces...
In New Hampshire as usual.
He is also giving interviews to the Globe and hurling such thunderbolts as are available at George Bush and his 30% approval rating.
Seems like Kerry is in the race for 2008.
And what the hell, he has a fair shot at it.
Oh I know, you all hate him for losing in '04...I read all the popular sites on the internet, the very name "John Kerry" sparks venom equal to that spewed at Bush himself.
And of course, the smart money is all on Hillary in 2008, the Stirling Newberry's out there are all sighing, rolling their eyes and calling it for McCain in any match up with Mrs. Clinton.
Well what does Humble Elias know? Only that plenty smart people with very smart money indeed end up on relief.
Now, you don't hear much about it yet, but there are plenty of movers and shakers in the democratic party who are "uneasy" with the inevitability of Hillary C.
These are the same people who might end up with Kerry on the simple grounds that our Junior Senator is well funded, well known and not a dynast.
That is one scenario, and to be honest to win next time Kerry is gonna need a lot of luck and most of all an issue.
What that issue would be is pure conjecture at this point.
But Kerry is unafraid and unbowed and that at least is a start.
A lot is going to happen between now and 2008 and history laughs at those who think they've got the next election pegged.
Hell, John Edwards is out in the reeds polishing his accent and sharpening his claws.
If the democrats do well this fall, say retake one or more of the chambers of congress, that might fuel a boom for DNC Chair Howard Dean who'd be seen as an architect of victory.
If we have a good year, then the democratic governors are gonna want a piece of the action as well. The smart thing for them to do might be to coalesce early around one candidate as the GOP governors did in 200.
Bill Richardson for President?
Tom Vilsack?
Conversely, if the democrats can't overturn the GOP's control of congress, that may drive a few bigfoot Senators out onto the Presidential hustings. The sheer boredom of a perpetual minority status alone may get Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd into the '08 race.
John buddy, if you are reading this, forget for a moment, Bush, Cheney, McCain, Rove & Norquist and reflect on an issue. Something big something simple something they aren't getting from the current regime or anyone who yearns to succeed Bushco.
That is what is needed now.

Give the President credit
he has the ugly chutzpah of the Praetorian Class down pat. How else to explain his astonishing assertion that cutting Dubai out of the port security deal would slow Arab investment in the US economy?
Never mind the fact that the so called US economy is naught but an offshore bazaar for the exchange of Chinese gold to US Dollars...
No, this is a President who has blown tens of thousands of Shia and Sunni Iraqis sky frickin' high and yet remains cravenly worried about the good opinion and investment intentions of a bunch of corrupt merchant princelings in the United Arab Emirates.
If this isn't a perfect example of Praetorianism in action then what is??

If Aol.Com can be believed
the President's approval rating has hit a robust thirty percent. Down roughly four points since last month.
And to think, if this was Argentina, Bush would've fled to Montevideo by now his baggage groaning with gold bars.
A mere two point drop though, and GWB's popularity will be dead even with Richard Nixon circa August 1974, which is when, the trickster finally pissed blood, flopped over on his back and resigned.
Not that Bush is going anywhere...trust Humble Elias on this, America is stuck with Bush and his moral, political & intellectual bankruptcy til January 2006.
Thats a hard thing to wrap one's mind around, but it is nonetheless true, this is as good as it is gonna get until the winter of 2009.
Alas, that is the unique world historic significance of George Bush Junior, he has (in the words of the late Lenny Bruce) "a talent for making people vicious". Spiteful as a youth, insufferable and malevolent as a man and perfect wretch in public office, he has naught to offer but ill intentions (to paraphrase William S. Burroughs).
However, lets make a little pact with ourselves shall we?
To put forward a few solid concrete proposals this year.
Thats all, just some sensible practical ideas...regardless of the coming deluge of political calumny this fall.
Now more than ever, we must repair to the Oracle of Adlai Stevenson and promise no more and no less to "Talk Sense to the American People".

On the other hand...
regardless of his lack of name recognition, Reed Hillman is better qualified to run for Lt. Governor than was Kerry Healey in 2002.
Humble Elias finds that grimly ironic.
At least Hillman isn't a spoiled suburban brat whose husband is trying to buy her the governorship.
That is a HUGE leap in qualifications.
The Boston Globe raises some interesting issues in respect of Hillman's tenure as a Colonel of the State Police in today's Metro section. I'd link to it, but alas Blogger only grudgingly accepts the MacIntosh Operating System.
Speaking of links, DO check out "Kerry Healey Out of Touch" they've been blogging on the whole matter of the GOP Lt. Governor nomination like sonsabitches.

Boston.com reports
that Kerry Healey has settled on one Reed Hillman as her nominee for Lieutenant Governor. Hillman is a former state rep, state police Commander and a nominee for US Marshal so I read.
Otherwise, I don't know the man from a cord of wood. Seems like a nonentity has been selected to run with a militant mediocrity.
Much I suppose could be made of the man's law enforcement bona fides, which is strange because Kerry Healey's sole qualification for public office in 2002 was a pair of criminal justice monographs she wrote for Abt Associates.
Kerry Healey need shoring up on the whole crime issue?
Seems odd.
