I'm About to Do Myself In

Barack Obama made an important announcement today. You probably already heard it: that he will not accept public campaign funds after all (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/20/us/politics/20obamacnd.html?8au&emc=au), but I am posting the news, and will upload the video here, anyway, despite the fact this is in direct opposition to my own campaign for Aubergine House- at least for 2008. There is always 2012, the Year of Qetzlcoatl; or perhaps Mr. Obama will see fit to choose me as his VP candidate. I certainly hope not. He needs someone who is a much more seasoned political veteran than I am.

John McCain, a man I once admired because of the way he stood (notice the past tense there) on principle, immediately challenged Obama's trustworthiness. This is a man who ought not to be casting stones as such. Simply read two NYT articles that appeared in a row as headliners yesterday, to get my point:

G.A.O. Backs Boeing on Aerial Tanker Deal: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/19/business/19tanker.html?8au&emc=au

Bush Calls for End to Ban on Offshore Oil Drilling :

Here's a link to the video:

That's all for now. I have to bake some cookies. I wish that cookie economy I dream of would become a reality.

If the cookie economy was in place, you'd be rich!
