Hilary Clinton is a Werewolf and She Hates Polar Bears


"Anyone is a potential werewolf. Under emotional stress civilized human qualities regress to basic animal reaction, and a threshold of potential change is reached."


As a follow up to my werewolf blog from last week. This is from a ritual for werewolf transformation from that delightful young boy Anton LaVey . You can read the rest here.

Speaking of shape-shifting mythological beasts though, the democratic presidential nomination process trudges on.



The big call right now is for Clinton to drop out, since it is clear that she has no democratic way of winning the nomination. Her only options at this point involve boiling oil and a castle siege. But credit to Obama. Who rightly says:

"My attitude is that Sen. Clinton can run as long as she wants," the Illinois senator said.

"She is a fierce and formidable competitor, and she obviously believes that she would make the best nominee and the best president. I think that she should be able to compete, and her supporters should be able to support her for as long as they are willing or able."

I know everything in this country has become about immediacy, and that the notion that we should allow any process to run it's course seems a cruel and antiquated notion. But there is a certain romantic charm to just this once, letting the nomination process play itself out. Obviously the worry here shouldn't be the actual process of the primary, but how that process is carried out. Right now it's becoming difficult for either candidate to remain civil. Which is dumb, because either one is going to be better than McCain and the Republican power trust. The lack of this base understanding in the democratic party makes the whole thing seem completely farcical.

I feel like I'm watching Charlie Brown try to kick the football from Lucy for the past 10 years. My advice to the candidates is to figure out and figure it out quickly. Because this whole ice cap melting thing might need to be figured out.

Forget Were-wolves, I like polar bears:
