So, I just took this quiz to see which presidential candidate I am most closely aligned with, and it proclaimed me to have an 86% similarity with Mike Gravel.

And I'm thinking, Mike Gravel?  That dude from Alaska?  Is he running for President? 

I know who he is, but I had no idea he was running for President.  Or, I think I had a vague notion that he was running for President but I guess I didn't realize he still is running.  You know, it's possible I would have realized he was running for President if he was ever mentioned as a presidential candidate in any of the media I read.  I get most of my coverage online, of course, like any modern girl, and I had no idea dude was running.  Everything is Hillary this and Obama that, which both Richardson and Edwards noted and had noted on their behalf.  But who has any love for Gravel?

Anyway, I was also 84% similar to Edwards.  I knew it!

My similarities to the two pet candidates of the liberal mass media (hee hee!) were very close to each other but a full 10 points below my similarities to Gravel and Edwards.  And let's face it, the health care plans of both Clinton and Obama have a lot to do with the plan Edwards came up with (although all of them are very meh and uninspiring and even kind of not good, but, hey, this is America, and we're not a bunch of damned socialists!). 

So, media:  Why no love for the white boys this year?  Me, I don't care about the gender or color of the person who will put an end to this senseless and wasteful war or who will wangle a way to make health care affordable or who will fix the No Child Left Behind mess.  I don't see color or gender as particularly germane to those issues.

Obama is very cute, though.  Maybe we could talk more about that and just forget about that pesky war.  Gee, you think he wears boxers or briefs?

I almost linked the "boxers or briefs" bit to this, referring to Bill Clinton being asked that, but when I noticed that the blogmeister refers to the life of Hunter S. Thompson as a "67-year-long episode of Jackass" I'm afraid I just couldn't deal.  Because, yeah, Thompson was so totally all about stuffing foreign objects up his ass for the comedic value.   Curse you, MTV, for soiling the universe.
