Chris Rock on Politics
On John McCain: “We don’t need a president with a bucket list. Who’s going to be his VP? A nurse?”
On Clinton’s experience: “My wife, we’ve been married 10 years, but if she got on stage now, y’all wouldn’t laugh at all.”
On Obama: “We’ve never seen a black man so cool — that wasn’t in the music business…” …and Reverend Wright: “Have you ever met a 75-year-old black man in this country that wasn’t angry? I mean, they have a few reasons.”
On voting: “They don’t want you to vote. If they did, we wouldn’t vote on a Tuesday. In November. You ever throw a party on a Tuesday? No. Because nobody would come.” (via)

"Less" is better
I think the entire “save the earth” movement is positioned wrongly. Regardless of what we as humans do on earth, this large rock will still be spinning. The earth is indifferent to our actions, good or bad. We are not trying to save the earth as much as preserve our exisiting climate.
We are a selfish people and our efforts to market going “green” or even “less” should reflect that. We can’t expect everyone to be concerened for others, but we can guarantee people will respond to something that impacts on personal level.
I agree with some of the aims of the Green movement, but not the overall goal of prioritizing the health of the Earth while disingenuously ignoring the importance of human health & happiness.
I think the word “Less” gets the point across with less convolution, and, if held as a value, would result in the achievement of many Green values anyway.

Clinton Double Speak
Clinton claims she’s more “electable” based, in part, on her ability to win “big states,” The campaign insists, this shows she has the support of Democratic voters needed to win in November, while Obama does not.
Essentially, she’s saying she’s more electable, because she can count on the support of the traditional Democratic base
Asked about the increasingly negative tone of the campaign and polls showing perhaps significant numbers of each Democratic candidate’s supporters saying they won’t support the other, or will turn to John McCain, Clinton pushes back saying she’s sure the party will be unified by November, and rally around the eventual nominee.
If that’s true, and it probably is, then what difference does it make who wins the big states during the primary season? Clinton seems to believe the nominee will have the full backing of the party. So, it appears those two Clinton arguments, central to her campaign, do go around in circles, and leave us with nothing more to believe than she’ll say anything, even slander, stretch, and pander, for the nomination.
