Says here that Blago considered offering the Obama senate seat to Oprah Winfrey. I wish he had, and I wish she had accepted. It would have demonstrated a lot of things, such as the completion of our descent into celebrity culture and the valuation of popularity over wisdom. But best of all, it would have shown that it doesn’t take somebody who knows anything about politics and policy to be a senator. Anybody can go along with the tax-everybody-and-make-taxpayers-foot-the-bill-for-everything crowd and Oprah is certainly a member of that mob. Woulda been nice to have a high-profile political novice appear in the senate and see that the world didn’t slip from its orbit.

She would have fit in nicely in the current climate.

Nothing will change in Washington until a real revolutionary arrives. That Barack Obama and his Kool-Aid-drinking disciples imagine he is “change” is the biggest joke of all:  the only change will be the increase in speed of our spending, the ascent of our rate of taxation, and the narrowing of our proximity to national financial bankruptcy.
