Behold I am Dog, God of dogs. I have chosen this puny monkey-vessel again to relay this important message to you: Democrats better vote for the Democratic nominee or else!

Welcome to the Democratic Party.  Things are going great.  We've had an invigorating and purposeful nominating process.  Looking at Party registrations and Party turnout our future looks bright.

I hope that all of those who turned out for the primaries will turn out to help defeat our Republican opponent.  

We only have 6 months to send John McCain to his inevitable future:

I hope you are with us.

Once upon a time there lived a family upon the hill.  It was largely a happy family, with many members and many new fields to sow.  The granaries were burgeoning, the children were well fed, and the future looked enticing.  The children loved their parents and each other.  They played well and often.

I just watched the Jeremiah Wright interview on Bill Moyer's Journal.

I began the interview listening intently, wanting to see what Reverend Wright was made of, how he would fare with one of the fairest journalists on television.  Moyer's was his only option as no other outlet would allow him the to make his arguments in depth.

I ended the conversation (yes, it was more a conversation than an interview as is Moyer's style) loving the man.

Yes, loving the man.  Me, a 40 year old white atheist concluding that Jeremiah Wright was a man worthy of love, respect, and my undivided attention.

Now I am angry.  Trust me; I am not angry with Jeremiah Wright.  Nor am I angry with Senator Obama.

I am angry at anyone who would deface Reverend Wright's decades of service to his community in order to further their petty political interests.  I am angry at anyone who would take pieces of his sermons out of context and replay them as sound bites in political ads and speeches.  I am angry at any craven public figure who would subtract from the efforts of Reverend Wright's church to improve his community.

I am angry at all those who made Reverend Wright a political pariah.

You know who you are and you know what you did.  Some of you even pretend to call yourselves `Democrats'.

Strom Thurmond was once a Democrat.

Shame on you!
