Chrisco Spins

Happy Presidents Day Chrisco Spins followers. So, I have been asked to keep tracks of my rants and raves or picks and pans (can’t seem to remember which), but for some reason these moments I’m asked to document seem way less interesting when I go to ‘web publish’ them. It makes me paranoid of my spelling and punctuation. I begin to doubt that what ever it is that seemed hysterical at the time is still a laugh riot.

Like one time, I was on 75/85S and I had a large tacky pick up pass me that had their company advertisement on the back window. The company specialized in lost child recovery??? There was some small print about kidnap and ransoms, but for real, don’t the police do that kind of work for free? Did this guy see the movie with Meg Ryan and Russell Crowe (the one that broke up the Quaid/Ryan happy home) and think, hell I can do that, rescue dead kids. Cuz the guy I hire to recover my lost child isn’t driving a shit kicker pick-up, but rather a sleek luxury auto. This way I know they are good at their job because they can afford fanciful things! See, at the time I was on the phone with a friend and that small instance was a riot… but months later is it really so funny? I think so, but I was there.

You know, I think I really posted this because I want to break up Chris’s rambling, or droning as some would say, about politics. It turns out I no longer care about politics, or maybe I never did. I can’t decide which it is, but I lean to the never side of the street.

This post is a day late for Valentine’s Day, but works fine just the same. I started to write it last night, but fell asleep watching Gordon Ramsay yell at people on “Kitchen Nightmares.” Please forgive me.

I talked about superdelegates a little while back (here). My whole point being that these unelected pooh-bahs of the Democratic party should line up behind whichever candidate the voters choose.

I’d like to applaud my hometown representative for doing just that. John Lewis endorsed Hillary Clinton on Oct. 12th of last year, but today The New York Times is reporting that Lewis will switch his superdelegate support to Barack Obama. I for one couldn’t be happier with his decision.

Normally I condemn flip-flopping politicians, but this is a special case. This is a case of Lewis flip-flopping to support the goals of the voters in his district. Obama won the Democratic primary in Georgia by a substantial margin. Especially in Lewis’ 5th District. Those same voters have made John Lewis so popular that it is a rare election when he faces any challenger, much less a viable one. He owes a debt of loyalty to those voters and this decision shows that he recognizes it.
