I feel compelled to must explain why the Iowa caucuses change EVERYTHING. Not just public perception of the Democratic candidates. Not just race relations in America in the 21st, and by extension, the 20th, 19th, and 18th centuries. Not just party politics, which will be forever changed by Barack Obama's radical vision of... of.. of politics!
But the very nature of reality. You see, nothing is the same as it was yesterday. The unions don't get that. Every last one of them. Every firefighter, autoworker (yep, both of you), and Teamster local secretary/treasurer. They don't get it. Everything changed. Corporate America doesn't get it, because they love Hillary and want her to be the front runner, and heir apparent to... well, Benazir Bhutto. Kucinich supporters in Iowa don't get it because they may, or may not have chosen Obama as their second choice. Kossack's don't get it because they've written four thousand nine hundred and thirty six diaries about how IMPORTANT the Iowa caucuses are for humanity, but none of them have acknowledged the truths I have related here.
Yes, Iowa changed the very nature of reality. Gravity, sex, being and nothingness themselves fade into insignificance when compared to the actions of thousands of party activists who gathered at an appointed time and place and did not support the candidate who many prominent journalists had predicted they would support.
America, Earth, Mom, we will miss you. Nothing will ever be the ....same.
Yawn. Now, what are we doing to end the war?
