Chuck-ese

So, I’m rather glad that Barack Obama won the Democratic Caucus, though I’m not sure I should be as overjoyed as I was this morning. After all, Iowa is just one little hick state, not the entire primary cycle.

I was a bit dismayed at Mike Huckabee’s strong showing. Just when I thought this was going to be a nice, rational election, Mr. Fundee-pants shoots to the front of the line when “they” all figure out he used to be a preacher. Now this election will be another fight against intellectual and social tyranny. I know Mitt Romney isn’t the most secular of candidates, but it’s just possible for me to believe that he’s just whoring himself out to the “Republican base” and will cool off when it comes time to woo the moderate voters. Speaking of political whores, John McCain (who I actually rather trust, for a Republican), was given a Godliness rating of 8 by Beliefnet, according to this week’s TIME magazine.

Bit of an aside, I’m heartened to know that Paris Hilton won’t be inheriting that bigass sum of money she was slated to receive. Maybe that will force her to become a productive member of society (although, for a person of her limited intelligence and skills, that amounts to little more than baby-factory.) [That was relavent only because I read it in the same issue of TIME.]
