This is embarrassing. And painful.

The states of Florida and Michigan, behaving like two screaming toddlers, are in talks to weasel under the sanctions imposed on both states over their violation of the rules of both major parties in moving the dates of the primaries up this year. In the case of the GOP, the outcome of this effort will have little impact as the nomination has been sewn up, one way or another. On the Democratic side, guess who benefits by an easing of the rules.


Hillary Rodham Clinton.


Between the yet-to-be seen arsenal of super delegates, and the threat of a challenge to the party sanctions on the convention floor, Ms Clinton gives herself the air of an old time machine politician, determined to get the nomination at all costs. If she succeeds, (as opposed to honestly winning), her credibility will be just below that of the current maggot-in-chief, GW Bush, and she will make Karl Rove, (in comparison), look a lot like a modern day saint.


From my point of view, the party that best represents my interests, (and that is being magnanimously generous), is doing its best to kill itself, and me with it. Hillary is a political Jim Jones. Should she become the nominee of her party, (I don't know if I can claim affiliation anymore...), I might expect to see a large keg or tank or nice red kool-aid at the convention, with smiling, contented delegates lining up for a nice drink. As late as a couple of months ago, I had nothing good to say about the party on the right, (and come to think of it, that hasn't changed), but this weeks withdrawal by Mike Huckabee was really a class act, something not seen at this level in American politics. Whatever you might think of that party or the candidate, the way that the campaign was handled was first class. Hilly, take note. Even if you pull it out, your reputation will always precede you.


And these are the people that I am hoping will protect me, at least marginally, against warrantless wiretapping, national ID and tracking systems, data mining and other hallmarks of the apocalypse.


I would say that it is time to leave, but there really is no place to go.

But what if Florida and Michigan re-vote in caucuses and not primaries (which is more likely, caucuses are much cheaper)?

Mike Huckabee's always had that mild southern gentleman aura around him.

Little known fact: it was Flavor Aid, not Kool Aid.

Primaries or Caucuses make no difference, the delegates were taken from both states not for the mechanism of selection, but for the moving of the date forward against party rules. Had the selection process, (such as it was), picked Obama, you can bet that the Clinton camp would be standing steadfastly with the DNC in protecting the integrity of the party rules and processes.

OK, maybe it was Flavor Aid, doesn't matter, (was there such a thing at that time?), the thought is the same, the Clinton juggernaut is the product of a similar mindset...

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
