			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let me quote my last political post:</p>
<blockquote><p>Hillary is perhaps the most authentic candidate only because we know she’s lying.</p></blockquote>
<p>I never thought I would be dead on but there you have it. I now have proof of my assumptions which is kinda scary because it all came down to supposed sniper fire. So how will this change her chances? I suppose it could actually help considering that now people will just play the opposite game with her. Hillary says we need to spend money, everyone will hear we need to save. She will claim she is tough on drugs, we will hear that she likes a joint every now and then. She says she forgives Bill, we hear that Bill is still doing what he was doing but Hillary kicks his ass every night for it. Aren&#8217;t politics grand?</p>
<p>I also came to a startling realization as I read Transmetropolitan for a fourth time. Warren Ellis also has a gift for seeing the future. His comic bookized political race has eerie similarities to the current race. Rather than explain this I direct you to now go and read the collected Transmetropolitan graphic novels. You&#8217;ll feel all educated and stuff.</p>
<p>So do I have another prediction? I&#8217;m just wondering what else may mirror Transmet. In the story a higher up campaign figure gets killed on live TV to further the campaign of The Smiler. I hope nothing like this happens, but there will be some episode of tragedy coming from one side of the campaign trail. Rudy&#8217;s only problem was that &#8220;his&#8221; tragedy happened further away than a current tragedy. Maybe Obama gets a hangnail and Hillary has a medical condition where we find out that her lying is a mental disorder. And what about McCain? He&#8217;s actually a prototype clone/cyborg that has a tendency to misinterpret conservative. It will be deduced that his AI was programmed by Ross Perot. Thank you and good night.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am getting very excited about the upcoming election. Regardless of who I vote for, this is going to be great television. It&#8217;s so refreshing to see that we have a race rather than two stiffs that are almost exactly the same and only show their true colors after the election. Granted, Hillary is perhaps the most authentic candidate only because we know she&#8217;s lying. Obama and John are on the path to cardboard cut-outs except for the fact that since no new television has been on each one has to be slightly more entertaining that usual. I&#8217;m just mad that Pennsylvania has to wait until the primary race is almost over. I sure hope the Huck keeps going at least until our primaries. He has my favorite celebrity endorsement from Mr. Stephen T. Colbert.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m actually glad we may finally have someone besides an old white guy. Even though I am a young white guy, it has always bothered me that no one has ever really had the chance to vote for someone besides an old white guy. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, if an old white guy is the best candidate in my opinion, then I will vote for him. If that&#8217;s not the case then I won&#8217;t.</p>
<p>So what does my magic 8-ball say? It says that Hillary will find out that Bill will do anything to get back to the white house. Obama will find out that Oprah only helps a little but getting older votes would help more. McCain will discover that he really does not have to do too much and that eventually even Rush will get on the band wagon just so a Democrat does not get elected. Huckabee will become a third party running with Colbert and will take votes away from various other write-ins such as Mickey Mouse and Homer. So who wins? So far we do.</p>
