Stalin Still Cares!

Caroline Kennedy dropped out of the running for Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's (SOSHRC) vacant Senate seat.

Article says,

Caroline Kennedy withdrew her Senate bid because of a personal matter unrelated to her ill uncle, rejecting the governor's attempt to get her to reconsider, a person who worked closely with her said Thursday.

But we all know that the "personal matter" was the Bright Light of Justice cast by Hydrablog's own Stalin Malone in this post. It was no coincience that Mrs Kennedy dropped out three short days after Mr Malone posted his story. No one, not even the Kennedy clan, want's to be responsible for the destruction of the naive optimism aobut our nation's politics that Mr Malone personifies.

In a world where little makes sense anymore, its nice to know that the passive aggressive tactic of "go ahead, see if I care" still works. I think "Sell away David, I've stopped caring" is officially this generation's "Go ahead, make my day!"

So thank you Mr Malone. Thank you for stopping Mrs Kennedy from being a Senator. Thank you for still caring. Thank you for finally taking a stand against political lightweights after decades of supporting the likes of Dan Quayle, George W. Bush, and Sarah Palin. But mostly, thank you for being you.

Golf Clap for Salazar

Ken Salazar (D-CO) made a nice little move recusing himself from a panel that was looking into the dismissal of New Mexico's Federal Prosecutor David Iglesias (why we're involved in the goings on of foreign nations is beyond me, seems like the focus should be on the American prosecutor scandal. Sheesh.).

Anyway, Sen Salazar in his former capacity as CO AG worked with Mr Iglesias so the good Sen felt that the best thing to do was to remove any appearance of impropriety. Nice move. While I'm sure Sen Salazar could remain objective, he understood that appearances do matter, and that people must have faith that the system is fair and unbiased.

Not a huge deal in any sense, but I like his move here. I would like to see more action like this from our leaders (I'm looking at you Antonin).
