How did Mike Allen see into the future?

After eight years of criminal activity, the shredding of Americans' Constitutional rights, and a general disregard for the future of this nation, a grand jury in Texas has finally done what no others have been able to accomplish: indict Vice President Dick Cheney, along with former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, and hold them accountable for their crimes. The order currently awaits signature from the presiding judge.

But did this make the top of CNN.com? No. Fox News? Heavens no! Drudge Report? Yes.

Why is this not a huge story? The sitting Vice President and a former Attorney General were just indicted in a prisoner abuse investigation and the national media seems not to care. How can this be? Why do we put up with this? Why is this not circulating on every blog and e-mail chain the nation? Is Obama's meeting with McCain really that interesting?

It is now obvious that North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il is dead or incapacitated. His former government is making very poor attempts to dispel such rumors, but they are all so badly executed (like many of his enemies) that even the most basic Photoshop user can spot the errors.

They first released a story that he was at a football game for military teams. But no pictures. And this was after he had missed some of the biggest events of the year, including the 60th anniversary of the nation. Pictures and video would have been natural. Especially from a guy who is as in love with himself as Kim. Then they release a photo of him in some sort of VIP booth with a cheesy smile. The image looked like it was taken in 1962 with a shaky lens from a NASA video camera. Grainy and blurry. Obviously someone in the "Kim Is Still Alive" department had missed a deadline and threw something together. And yesterday, they release a military still photo of him surrounded by troops. (See link above.) One small problem - his shadow doesn't match everyone else's.

So what happens now? Someone in North Korea is running the show, but we don't know who. They have some level of nuclear explosives, but it is rudimentary and has not yet been used since Kim's departure. And the United States has a new President who is open to discussion with horrible leaders like Kim. Will Obama solve the North Korean crisis? According to change.gov, it would seem he will speak with whoever is in control. That would definitely be a new course in American policy. Maybe his real plan is to get Castro, Ahmadinejad, Kim, Putin, and Jintao in a room and let some psychos from PETA and Amnesty International eliminate them. I hope they post it on YouTube!

If you don't read the above-linked article, that's okay. You won't be missing anything because it doesn't actually contain any journalism. It contains a rumor. Completely hatched by one person in the Democratic party with no stated support or fact.

It states that one Democratic snitch says Joe Gibbs will be Obama's press secretary. But the second to last paragraph says this: "Transition planning is still at an early stage and the job has not been formally offered or accepted, officials said."

So if my reading skills are still top notch, here's what I understand: an anonymous source says a guy who has not been offered a job has the job. WOW! I've never had a job that had not been offered to me, let alone waited for me to accept the offer.

This is the problem with the media today. They rely on anonymous sources to give them unsubstantiated stories that aren't true. And they call it news reporting. Why? Because it fills up their website or TV station with fluff for a 24-hour news cycle.

Way to go Politico. You've wasted more of our time.

The two year campaign is now over and history has been made. It may be a day late and a dollar short, but the American people have finally said with one strong voice that the last eight years have been a disaster. Democratic candidates have won offices never before considered possible. Red states have become blue states. Congress looks a bit more one-sided. And this incredible nation of ours has looked beyond its monochromatic history of leadership to something new and yearning to overcome.

I wholeheartedly congratulate President-Elect Obama and his family on their victory. I'm especially thankful that he gave such a dignified and friendly speech of thanks. As one friend of mine put it, it was not a "victory speech". I like the overtures he made to Republicans by referencing Reagan's "beacon" idea and asking them to be a part of the solution to America's challenges. His comment about the "juvenile" behavior that has plagued our politics was particularly nice to hear.

America is ready to begin a new era. Let's hope partisan politics are less a part of this time as they have been of the past.

Prediction

Obama: 329 Electoral votes
McCain: 209 Electoral votes

Obama: 52% popular vote
McCain: 44-45% popular vote

I may be off by a state, but Obama will do very well in the Electoral college (which should be eliminated). I don't think Obama will have a huge landslide, but at least -unlike Clinton- he will have a majority.
