veepstakes probuhm savved

Hillary, Swillary, Swoo! In actuality, Barack Obama's veep needs to be one of these two:

Fidel Castro (Communist, Cuba)
Talking Points for Castro as Veep

Okay, so first of all, Castro dropped a groovy non-endorsement recently, calling Barry "the most progressive candidate to the U.S. presidency." That was effing huge.

Secondly? I mean, shit, Cuba's got like "the dankest" organic farming going on in the world today.

Fuck governors.
why bring on a governor when there are people out there in the world who have executive experience like FC?

Also, this guy's like, even older than McCain, and has better ideas about distribution of wealth than any American president of the last four decades (at least.) When I see video, it seems like everybody's just rolling around in vintage cars and playing ethnic music, down there.

Most importantly, this Castro nomination'd end Right Wing speculation about whether to cast Obama as a McGovern-style wimpy/pissy liberal or as a more dangerous (i.e., black) man with New Left patrons. 'Truth be told, Obama's ascendancy betokens a so-often-unstated, alien usurpation of the DNC. Barry Obama is, in truth, a Pabloist. (The ISO is gonna be on Obama like flies on shit, mark my words. )


Steve Albini (Shellac of North America, the Britt Walford snare sound on the Breeders' Pod)
Talking Points for Steve Albini as veep

Barack Obama needs to be slightly more antagonistic (or, wheeze, "populist") in positioning himself for the general election. That's hard for him because it's not allowed for black people to be antagonistic, ever. And also it's hard for Barry because he's a nerd. Albini is the prototypical "antagonistic nerd," who's taken being smart as far as one can down the road of engagement, malice, irony, etc. These are the forms of tussling that Obama can evoke without horrifying stupid white people such as myself.

Steve Albini laments the vertical integration and/or capitalist penetration of music-making and /or the "record industry," and Barry as we know is rooting out (some of) the financial weeds that long needed rooting at the DNC.

And of course Obama would do well to recall that the pitchfork generation and the pigfuck generation are not the same thing. Albini totally bridges the gap between everyone from Ministry fans to Forced Exposure readers, both of which are as we know, increasingly "loud and proud" and/or "fast and loose" with the $25 donations paypal-style.

(Okay, either these two or Ed Rendell.)

Gotta bone to pick with one of your two picks, old chum. Albini's also a denizen of Chicagoland and mucks up the geographic considerations that everyone loves to fawn over. Non-starter, IMHO. Castro, on the other hand, satisfies the D's compulsive need to pick someone from the "South".

As someone said recently, you can't move forward if you're looking backwards. Fidel is old hat. Bring on Raul! He's the future of the wave comma communist.
