Hold onto your seats, folks. There's news afoot that's so shocking I'm almost afraid to post it.
I mean it. This news could shake the foundations of life as we know it. It could rival the Segway in how it changes day-to-day life, it's that shocking and surprising.
Are you ready? Do you have your smelling salts handy? 9-1-1 on speed dial at the ready to summon professional help?
Okay. Here goes...
The Boston Globe has endorsed Barack Obama for president
I know, I know. It was a real toss-up as to who the Globe would endorse, especially in light of their fair and impartial coverage of the race to date...
That is all.

I'm actually surprised the "Glob" didn't endorse Nader.
The AJC's attack on Ronald Reagan & their endorsement of Jesse Jackson - despite one of the most smear-filled speeches in my memory - in '84 was what turned me into a conservative Republican.
You'd think all those money-losing morons would look at their continual string of canceled subscriptions and get a freaking clue by now...
People embrace Democrats (especially after the recent GOP congress & Bush), but people really f'n hate liberals and places like the Globe are glaring examples of why.
I'm SHOCKED! SHOCKED, I tell you!!! *snort*
Pretty funny how they talked about his experience as a Community Organizer and while running his presidential campaign as qualifications to be POTUS.
It'd be interesting to see how many Globe editorials centered around George W. Bush's inexperience circa 2000...

One of the reasons I gave up political blogging is because co#$s%ckers like them are so predictably duplicitous. In '00, they preferred McCain to Bush because of his foreight policy experience and his outside-the-box thinking & thought it would be wrong to tie his opponent to the sitting President's problems.
You think I'm joking, don't you?
"The Boston Globe is endorsing Senator John McCain and Vice President Al Gore in the New Hampshire presidential primary.
In an editorial appearing today the Globe, with a Sunday circulation of more than 700,000, said Mr. McCain, who is challenging Gov. George W. Bush of Texas for the Republican nomination, deserved a ''medal for political valor'' for voicing unconventional views. And the Globe complimented his understanding of complex foreign policy issues.
''McCain stands apart from the other Republican candidates for his competence on an array of foreign policy issues ranging from military strategy in Kosovo to the subtleties of diplomacy between China and Taiwan,'' the editorial said.
In endorsing Mr. Gore, the paper, which is owned by The New York Times Company, said he ''is the most competent among the Democrats to lead the country in a complicated world.'' The editorial acknowledged that some might vote against him because of the scandals that marked the Clinton presidency, but said ''the sins of the president should not be visited upon his deputy.''

Of course, that was when McCain was running against a Republican.
Hey, if you want, I can give you the editorial in four years: They're endorsing Obama for re-election. In eight years? Hillary.
The important issues? Higher taxes needed. More social spending needed. More spending on education (hello NEA!) is needed. Can't curtail any abortion; but we need oversight on guns, money, driving, money, spending, money, breathing, snoring, banking, etc.
One reason that the GOP is the stupid party is that they sometimes lose to people who are running on the same platform as that which was present in 1965.
