Danny Glover Invokes the Wrath of Gaia

Yeah, I was tweeting about this last night, but decided not to post on it, because . . . is stupidity on Glover's part really newsworthy? Anyway, Fausta's got the story, including an interesting bit about his still-to-be-released movie project with Hugo Chavez, which I didn't know about.

I spent a little time this morning in a chat on the site of one of Boston's local TV stations, which featured one of their political reporters and the guy who headed up the Suffolk University poll that showed Brown up by 4 points yesterday. It was infested with Coakley supporters who seemed to think that her woes were entirely caused by media bias. In Massachusetts? Uh . . . anyway, not a single one of them seemed to think that her consummate incompetence has anything to do with where she is.

As numerous other bloggers have pointed out, the Dems on the national level are already working on their spin, should she lose, stating that that would have nothing to do either with Obama or his health care plan. Meanwhile, some other equally paranoid bloggers have some of the same concerns I do about vote tallying in Massachusetts.

Not a hard one to call, but I did say that if Scott Brown seemed poised to win in Massachusetts, the Dems would redouble their efforts to push through the health care crap sandwich.

Charles doesn't think that Glover was saying that the earthquake was caused by global warming, but doesn't offer any kind of reasonable explanation of what Glover's saying. Okay, so "this" (whatever that might refer to, and he's been talking about the earthquake and the tragedy) is a "response" (by which I think he can only mean "effect," since everyone seems to be responding) to "what we did" . . . "in Copenhagen." Okay, so what does that mean? Maybe "this" is the catastrophe apart from the earthquake? Is it because then the conference failed in its aims of redistributing wealth? It's so vague, that you could say that he's invoking a zeitgeist, maybe? In which case "this" is a "response" to our refusal to sign on to Glover's values and beliefs? Just what is he saying, Charles? Ya know?
