Also, let me say that the more I read about my (hopefully) future senator
Barack Obama, the more I'm impressed with him. He's a hell of a man. There even a recent
New Yorker article about him, as well as one in
today's New York Times.
His Republican opponent, millionaire Jack Ryan (ex-husband of Star Trek: Voyager actress Jeri Ryan)
hired a cameraman to stalk Obama. They justify it by saying "it's not illegal", when what matters is that it's not
right.
Edited to correct the first name of the GOP candidate and to change the link of the "stalker" story.
Edited again to fix the New Yorker link, although I doubt you were planning to read it anyway.
Edited yet again to add a picture of a purple monkey in a green tutu.
Edited one more time to remove the picture.
Edited like a motherfucker to add this line about the motherfucking edit.
Edited (no, really!) to add this BRILLIANT quote from the New Yorker article on Obama:
After each interruption, he would resume. Americans aren’t simply too tired to think about politics, he said; they’re being deliberately turned off. “If you make political discourse sufficiently negative, more people will become cynical and stop paying attention. That leaves more space for special interests to pursue their agendas, and that’s how we end up with drug companies making drug policy, energy companies making energy policy, and multinationals making trade policy.”
