Colin Powell endorsing Barack Obama for president by saying it’s not about race reminds me of pro athletes who sign gigantic free agent contracts with new teams and then go to the press conference and say their signing wasn’t about money. Sure it wasn’t.

My favorite part of Powell’s endorsement is when he said had to take rhetorical abilities into account when choosing who to vote for. That’s nonsense, of course, but I guess Powell likes the idea of a president who can bullshit you into thinking you’re getting a pat on the back and not a knife in it.

There was an editorial in the Wall Street Journal last week about what the impending democrat president with a democratic super majority in Congress will do. It scares the shit out of me, and if there is no balance to counteract the democrats (or to counteract the republicans if it was them taking over) I believe we’ll be slaves to the government even more than we are now much sooner than later.

Even scarier than that, however, is that there are bright, educated people who can’t wait for it to happen.

But you know what they say: be careful what you wish for because you just might get it.
