Ablogination

While Hillary Clinton revels in winning a meaningless, delegate void primary in Florida and Barack Obama enjoys cocktails with the Kennedy’s….

John Edwards is headed to New Orleans. After canceling appearances in Alabama and North Dakota, John Edwards is returning to New Orleans to continue the mission of spotlighting poverty, our most prolific dilemma as a nation, and to remind both the Democratic party and the nation as a whole what this election cycle is really all about.

It’s about the people. Plain ol’ everyday ordinary people.

It’s not about who’s a woman or who’s black. It’s not about making some sort of historical political statement by force-feeding the two most unlikely candidates to the voting public. It’s about who eats and who doesn’t. Who sleeps in security and who doesn’t. Who wears shoes and gets to go to school. It’s about who lives and who dies, in Iraq and right here at home.

While all the vanity, all the egos and all the self-serving arrogance shown to us by the other candidates gets TV coverage like the latest bullshit reality show or a fucking sports event, the only real candidate will be in the still suffering Big Easy doing what makes America great, thinking of others and putting those thoughts into action.

The only reality show worth watching

Who knows, maybe Bill Clinton will take a break from making excuses for his childish behavior long enough to join John Edwards in New Orleans and help build a few houses.
On second thought, don’t hold your breath.

The choice is clear. The rest is up to your eyes.
