Steyn on the Democratic Primary

posted by aarnold | 10:15am Saturday March 8, 2008

He makes a brilliant, funny synopsis of what we are in store for leading up to the convention:

The Democratic primary season seems to have dwindled down into a psycho remake of Driving Miss Daisy. The fading matriarch Mizz Hill’ry (Jessica Tandy) doesn’t want to give up the keys to the Democratic-party vehicle but the dignified black chauffeur Hokey (Morgan Freeman) insists it’ll be a much smoother ride with him in the driver’s seat, full of gear change you can believe in, etc. Yet, just as he thinks the old biddy’s resigned to a nomination as Best Supporting Actress, the backseat driver plunges her hat pin into his spine, wrests the wheel away and lurches across the median.

Will it really come down to racial guilt versus gender guilt?

One Final Word
My dear friend Michele slipped into eternity on Wednesday, February 1.   She was a remarkable woman who left a legacy of faith, determination, and love. For three years she courageously battled the ovarian cancer that eventually robbed her of her life.  A few days before she died, one of her docto

The rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated
My husband told me that there are rumors that I've died. I'm happy to report that I'm still very much alive.

Several people have asked about Michele's condition, and have promised to pray for her. On her behalf, I thank you for that. I spoke with her a little while ago, and she asked that I come here and tell you what's going on, and to ask you to pray for her. She isn't able to post here herself right

The peace that passes all understanding, pt. 1
I'm coming out of my normal hiding place to make a few comments. The internet is a strange place. It is often a wonderful place, a helpful place, a unifying place. But it is also alienating, cold, and is the perfect medium in which to depersonalize others. Through it, I have seen people reach out

As the Democrats thrive on guilt and self-flagellation, they must be tying themselves into knots that would make a shibari nut go mad trying to figure out who to feel guiltier over.
Fortunately in November the bulk of the voters don’t buy into the guilt thing and it won’t work.

What’s a shibari nut?
Guilt is a powerful thing. I’ve see people do all kinds of irrational things because of guilt.

Guilt? Or its inverse, the desire to participate in “making history?”
If these are different motivations, I think the latter is stronger.
