FRIDAY NEWS ITEM

Again with the blogging of news articles on Yahoo because sometimes the titles change during the course of the day: right now this one is "Democrats push for quick end to nomination battle", but by the end of the day it'll probably be "Democrats beg for sweet release from months of incalculable suffering." Yes, McCain is old and crazy, har har, but it says something about the perceived state of the party that I think they still should have quit dicking around over this nomination business ages ago and gotten down to girding themselves for battle against him. Even against a doddering foe they need to consolidate strength and resolve. Oh god, we're all fucked, aren't we.

I know I've complained about this election before and it hasn't even really started yet, but I feel the need to get my prophetic wisdoms down in writing so they become all the more quaint after the fact.
