Candidates Celebrate Chavez’s Birthday By Pandering
Monday, March 31st, 2008
Today Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton both took some time to profess their enduring love and affection for legendary civil rights leader Cesar Chavez — but only one of these candidates loves Cesar Chavez enough to call for a national holiday in his honor. Guess who? It’s the same candidate who also plagiarized the three words Chavez invented many years ago, Si Se Puede (HINT: Barack Obama). Meanwhile, John McCain celebrated by angrily eating a bunch of grapes. [Chicago Tribune]

This weekend marks the passing of yet another year in our thousand-year Mesopotamian adventure. Just yesterday it seemed our little Iraq War would be smothered in its crib, too fragile to survive more than a few months. But it surprised us all with its moxie and stick-to-it-iveness, and now our tiger is old enough to go to War Kindergarten.
