I haven't posted anything from Heru in a while, so here is something new:
Planet Grenada and Heru
"i've seen ethiopians knocking out rome"
Wikipedia: Septimius Severus
I should say that I still definitely plan on voting for Obama and I think that some of Heru's criticisms are a bit misdirected. On the other hand, I often think that the United States would be better off with with a parliament so that other voices (for example, like those represented by Cynthia McKinney and Rosa Clemente) could have a voice in the government.
At the same time, it is a bit unclear to me how things would shake out after all the political dust settled under a parliament: There would be Greens and Socialists but there would also be Libertarians. The Democratic Party might clarify its status as a center-left labor party. But then Republicans would probably break-up into an economic and a social conservative group. And you'd also see a more vocal (possibly separate) role for anti-immigrant voices, the hawks, the theocrats and others. More later?

It would be a good thing. Once neither group can "rule" without compromising with one or more other groups, then no group would be able to push "extreme" agendas. And imagine the possibility of a vote of no confidence in the PM? Bush would have been gone a long time ago.
