Not that this comes as a surprise to anyone, but it’s now official: Hillary Clinton: ‘I’m in’ 2008 White House race.I doubt she’ll get the nomination – she’s just too polarizing. Considering her and Obama are the current front-runners, it will be interesting to watch the Democrat primaries, if nothing else.

CNN has been on at work all day, and I have to say I am completely disgusted at everyone that is trying to turn the Hurricane Katrina issue into a political/racial fight. Not to mention the apparent glee with which they keep rebroadcasting the New Orleans mayor saying “G_d D__n” over and over again.

Once again, the judicial branch of the U.S. government has proven itself to be completely out of control: Justices Rule Cities Can Take Property for Private Development
Frightening stuff. Basically, the Supreme Court said that a business with enough money can take private property from anyone – essentially negating the last part of the Fifth Amendment and eliminating individual property rights. Considering that the ability to own property is one of the principal elements of this thing we call “freedom”, nothing good can come from this.
While the decision was correct *technically*, it certainly flies in the face of the *spirit* of the Constitution, and has serious ramifications.

Thanks to BTR for the image 🙂
Seriously, things were a little tense for a while, but thankfully Ohio didn’t turn into another Florida. And my (admittedly little) respect for John Kerry has grown significantly considering the way he handled it. He could have contested Ohio if he really felt like it, but thankfully common sense got the better of him.
Local elections went well… Maury County overwhelmingly (87%) voted *not* to have a county sales tax. Who thought this would ever pass? Tennessee already has the highest sales tax in the nation, and they want to *increase* it? Riiiiight.
