Metal Lungies

No need to worry, ML isn’t going all political on you but here is something I’d like to mention. I finally got around to reading Time’s excerpt from Barack Obama’s new book. I’ve been reading about him off and on since around the same time when fellow Chi-Town native, Common name dropped him on the ‘Why?’ remix. Now I don’t stay loyal to either party but Obama seems to bring the newest/freshest approach and he also has got great values. I would consider him one of the most progressive democrats that doesn’t just follow the democrat guidebook, as seen when he isn’t afraid to give credit to the political movements that some evangelicals are currently doing. Most democrats stray far away from even bringing up evangelicals. Oh yeah he’s got that swagger too:

Already disadvantaged by a late start and a lack of funds, Mr. Keyes had, during the course of a mere three months, managed to offend just about everybody. In that sense, he was an ideal opponent; all I had to do was keep my mouth shut and start planning my swearing-in ceremony. And yet, as the campaign progressed, I found him getting under my skin. For he claimed to speak for my religion–and although I might not like what came out of his mouth, I had to admit that some of his views had many adherents within the Christian church.

If you care to get some insight to one of the potential (and ML’s favorite) candidates for 2008 read the whole article excerpt over at TIME Magazine.

P.S. I probably will get the book after I finish reading the Jerry Heller book  (I might review it) which is a very fascinating read so far, FYI.
