Hillary Clinton claims her supporters need a "catharsis", a healing, to get over their loss. To hear her tell it, it would seem that her supporters are the first in history to be disappointed and to have to deal with their candidate failing to meet their expectations. In an effort to placate her supporters, Barack Obama has agreed to allow Hillary's name to appear on the nomination at the convention and to be voted on. For Barack's people, or the DNC, to believe that Hillary's supporters will be pacified by losing yet again in a very public fashion seems insane to me.

BARACK'S BIGGEST PROBLEM? BLACK PEOPLE |
I know what your thinking. How could Senator Barack Obama have a problem with black people who are supporting him 90 to 95 %? Isn't that his strongest base? Absolutely. But Barack can not win this election with black people alone. He needs to have a decent chunk of the biggest group in the U.S., working class white people. And these are the people that are the most fickle constituents that Obama has in his stable. Ask your average white person if there is a disadvantage to being black and the majority of them will say "yes". Ask the same group what to do about it and they split into fractions. Race politics divides. Every since the Reverend Wright videos surfaced on youtube and all of our T.V.s and radios, Barack's support among white people, particularly white males, has fallen. I now believe that the biggest threat to Obama's campaign is the very people who have shown him the most steadfast support.

BREAKING THE GRIP |
It's an ugly truth most people just don't want to admit. We Americans are puppets on a string. We're forced to send our money, our influence and even our children's lives to nations that hate our guts and take turns pulling the strings. Nations like Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Syria, Russia and many more. With one meeting between the OPEC nations our economy can go into a panic, with one war in a oil-rich nation our life style becomes precarious. And we do it to ourselves. Like an animal that will eat and eat until it kills itself, we don't seem to know when to stop. Like an addict, we run to the pump for our fix no matter the price and like an addict, it's our addiction that will kill us. This addiction to oil is ruining us, and my friends, it can not go on.

JOHN McCRASH |
I've wrecked a car or two in my time. I guess that's kind of bad since I drive for a living. The first one was when I was 17 years old. A guy and his girlfriend were timing a string of lights and caught me going through the yellow. Result; one very smashed Impala. In my next accident, nearly twenty years later, I was on the side of a dirt road cleaning off my windshield when a guy with his entire windshield frosted over drove right into me without ever touching his brakes. Result; one destroyed Chevy Nova. Other than that, I've had a small bump or two, but nothing that made my car any where near undrivable. Considering that I've driven professionally for over 30 years, I don't feel that's too awfully bad and shouldn't keep me from being anything I want to be.

IN DEFENSE OF TONY SNOW |
I don't much care for President Bush or his Assministration. Let's get that right out of the way. I called for the head of Donald Rumsfeld way back in '04 when George Tenet was fired. I've criticized their handling of the war, the Nation Debt, and damn near everything that they've done since they took office. However, I have to admit an admiration for Tony Snow and here's why.

ISRAEL SETS IT'S SIGHTS ON IRAN |
The words are being chosen carefully. Threats are being exchanged daily, veiled and otherwise. The drums of war have begun to beat between Iran and Israel. At issue is Iran's on going enrichment of nuclear material believed to be suitable for a nuclear weapon. Iran has repeatedly claimed that it's intentions are strictly for peaceful nuclear power. One thing is for certain, Israel will not stand idly by while Iran develops anything close to a nuclear weapon.
