I am so sick of hearing about change. It would not be possible for the current crop of presidential candidates to use the word "change" more frequently while still forming complete, grammatically correct sentences.

At Hillary Clinton's victory speech last night (or perhaps it was Obama's concession speech, I don't precisely recall, and it doesn't precisely matter), the audience actually began chanting "Change!" at one point. I thought that was a fitting image for a Democratic Party rally: an audience full of people who give off the same vibe as the corner homeless man begging for loose money. "Got any spare change buddy?"

I would like to hear, just once, someone point out the obvious: that people don't want change so much as they want someone who is not named George Bush. Then there's Obama who takes it to the next level: change AND hope. Hope is not a political platform. It is not a plan. Know what hope is? An expression of wishful thinking, i.e. the embodiment, in one word, of the majority of modern Democratic Party principles.
