movies

I should probably start a new blog now that my interest in the upcoming election is waning. I'm more caught up in the excitement of movies and television (as long as I can watch it on dvd) than anything else. If only I had anything smart to say about the stuff I love, something besides, "I really loved this!"

Obama's progressive positions are wholly subordinate to his political ambition. Is anyone surprised? Not Hillary supporters who had to listen to boatloads of crap about his "new politics." Is there anyone left who still believes that Obama would have voted "no" on the authorization for military force if he'd actually been in the senate in 2002? What he's demonstrated is that there is no position so deeply held that it can't be compromised for the sake of winning the presidency. I'm not outraged by his move to the center, I'm enraged by his hypocrisy.

It's hard to pay attention without Hillary in the mix. My attitude now is largely indifference, with mild pleasure when I see Obama hit bumps in the road. I feel little urge to join with democrats who disdained me and vilified my candidate.
