Status Quo
What will happen with the hunger for change?
I assume Hillary will win the presidency. I find myself going through an involuntary process of accommodation to the idea. That is an advantage of emerging as the inevitable nominee so early. On the other hand, a year from now, she'll still be hovering around, not achieving anything, but just being what she always was, the inevitable nominee. That's going to be really boring. What happens to the hunger for change?

Right-wing extremists crow about their "Gathering of Eagles"
This would have been an awesome Daily Show or Stephen Colbert skit. The problem is that this "gathering" of "soaring eagles" did happen as a counter-rally to the demonstrations happening across the nation on the 4th anniversary of the occupation of Iraq.
Here's a taste of their mission statement :
Gathering of Eagles » Our Mission Statement:
7. We vehemently oppose the notion that it is possible to “support the troops but not the war.†We are opposed to those groups who would claim support for the troops yet engage in behavior that is demeaning and abusive to the men and women who wear our nation’s uniform.
8. We believe in freedom at all costs, including our own lives. We served to protect the freedoms Americans enjoy, and we agree with Thomas Jefferson’s assertion that “From time to time, the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of patriots and tyrants.â€
9. We will accept nothing less than total, unqualified victory in the current conflict. Surrender is not an option, nor is defeat.
They call themselves non-partisan but you know that's a lie. Check out a sampling of their blogroll :
