The Pennsylvania primary is finally upon us. Thank god, right? I've gotten sick and tired of listening to Hillary.
This Obama's first and best chance to end this thing. Even a moderate victory in Pennsylvania (5-10 points) should be enough to push Hillary out of the race once and for all. Don't get me wrong, I'm generally a fan of the Clintons. Ok, not both of them. Specifically Bill. He is the first President I voted for, I voted for him twice, and I haven't voted for President since (until this year). Initially, I loved the thought of Bill being back in the White House, running the show behind the scenes, throwing kick-ass parties, banging interns, turning that place into a frat house again, generally creating havoc, etc. But voting for Hillary is too much of a price to pay for that.
Obama has been a breath of fresh air. People forget that this guy sounds a lot like Bill did 16 years ago. And since Bill was the unofficial first black President, we don't need to worry about that aspect of the race here. To me, there's not a goddamn thing wrong with having hope in our presidential candidates, hope in the system, hope for a new day. Yes, it's probably grossly naive to think that this guy will end up being any different than anyone else, but if you take that approach, you're going to be jaded and pissed off at both the process and the result. Life is too short to be pissed off all the time (to quote Edward Furlong in American History X - and yes that's the last time I'll quote that dope, and its probably the first time he's ever been quote).
So anyway, if you're a believer in this, or if you just want to believe (Mulder), bang this a few times and pitch in.

The first post
Greetings.
I am Gonky. No, that is not my real name.
I have decided to start a blog today, with the goal of creating the lamest blog on planet Earth. Why am I doing this? I have no clue. I generally think blogs are pretty silly. To think that complete strangers would want to read what someone types into a blog is a bit narcissistic to me, but plenty of people actually do this, so I figure, what the hell. I'm no less narcissistic than any of these other fools, right?
This blog will - for the time being - remain anonymous. I see no need to let anyone know who I am. Apart from the fact that it is a tremendous source of information (both real and fictitious), the internet generally creeps me out, and it makes no sense to publish my identity here (or anywhere, really). My sister in law let someone post video of her kids dancing on You Tube. I thought this was completely messed.
In any event, I will invariably drop hints here and there as to my identity. So, let it be a fun little game for you (whoever you are) to figure out who I am. Or not. It really makes no difference.
I will, from time to time, post on matters of my own personal interest. I will not post on a schedule. In fact, I will likely forget about this blog for weeks at a time. Why? A blog cannot suck if the author pays regular attention to it. Remember, I really want this blog to suck. If you pick up any kernels of wisdom from me through this blog, you are a goof and you need to form your own opinion about matters that interest you. Seriously.
I will do my best not to be mean or nasty to anyone. I am generally not a mean person. However, I am cynical as f*ck. That may come across now and again. If you take offense to my cynicism, that is your issue - not mine. This blog will be nothing if not honest.
Oh - and a word about profanity. If occasional profanity offends you, please go somewhere else (whoops - little late on that heads-up, no?). I do understand that "f*ck" is an unpleasant word to some. However, there are times where the situation is only properly served by resorting to calling it "f*cked" or "f*cked-up". A lesser word will not do. For example, Chad Johnson is f*cked-up. Now I have to burn that jersey in my closet. Many thanks, you dill-weed.
Well, methinks that is enough for the time being. Cheers, and enjoy your day.
And no, I do not actually think anyone will read this. Duh...
