The soul has greater need of the ideal than the real for it is by the real that we exist, it is by the ideal that we live

The Rift in the Democratic Party!

What fucking rift???

I keep hearing people say that Hillary needs to drop out of the race to let Obama be the nominee so we can heal the ""Rift" in the party. "She's damaging the party," they say. Did you guys just get here?

Primary season is for exactly this purpose. Has it been that long since we had a candidate of any substance or any consequence that you've forgotten the reason for the season? There is no "rift" in the fucking party you assholes. It's the primairies. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE THIS WAY.

Now, if she got out and Obama was the nominee and he lost, well that'd be her fault too. She stayed in too long and fucked everything up, would be what people say. So since she's damned anyway she may as well stay and ride this one out.

Mark my words, if Barack Obama is the nominee we'll have another four years of republican rule in the White House. There are far too many bigots out there who will not allow an African American in the Oval Office. My adoptive father (damn his soul) would vote republican for the one and only time in his life rather than vote for a black man. And he's only a bigot because he's ignorant. Imagine what informed bigots would do!

So stop bitching about the rift in the party. Believe me, it'll all be forgotten after the convention. The party will be unified behind the nominee and then it'll be Howard's turn to fuck things up. And if you want things fucked up, he's surely the guy.

This weekend is busy. Tonight I teach, tomorrow I think I'll have to work the whole day, and then I have to go to the college for the one-act plays. Saturday I have to ride a horse, a bike, do some stuff to the car, and then go to the theatre I last directed at to see their latest offering "Closer," a play I've directed. Sunday I have to prepare my lecture for next week, and grade papers, and weather permitting I have to clean out the garage so I can start putting boxes out there.

I guess I'm going to recover, I've kept the meat loaf all afternoon...yoohoo! I'm queasy but it has been over ten days since I ate solid food so I think that's to be expected.

I may have bought a bike too. One must have their hobbies I guess.

It's here! and solid food too...woot!


Ok, I know I forgot to give May the big build-up as far as the Freaking amazing Ancient Egyptian popup calendar goes, BUT, here it is!

I find it fitting that the popup calendar would grace the month-o'-my-birth with such a cool picture.

Today I am going to try solid food! I cannot express my excitement. Soup is getting REALLY old! So, meat loaf it is. I figure what the hell, see if I can really make it through a proper meal. Besides comfort food ain't all bad.

If I keep it, I'll try to do a full day at the office tomorrow, they've been really nice about all this.

And remember tomorrow is Hot Guy Friday!
