Guys like you and Winer must be really, really smart, to see politics EXACTLY as I do. I just wrote a post expressing my belated appreciation of Hunter Thompson's wisdom. I missed it in real time due to being insulated in the conservative, Bible-belt South and preoccupied with my three small children. Wouldn't it be great to read HST on Obama? Thanks, Doc.

Doc, you and Dave again prove that the blogosphere is not about trivial chatting, but about changing the world. End of celebrity, rise of you and me. I agree with Dave and this article he wrote is classic, as is your response. What makes me laugh are the trolls who use blogs and Twitter to attack blogs and Twitter. Even our enemies have been forced to play the game: the revolutionary rise of individual voice against the domination systems of elite idiots. Yes, you pioneer bloggers are correct again.
