During the last presidential election I wrote a series of posts highlighting the constant flip-flopping of Democrat nominee John "Magic Hat" Kerry. They all bore some variation of the headline "Parade of the Waffle King."

This general election campaign has been underway for a few weeks now, and though I have been following it closely I really haven't written much about it. (I haven't written much about anything lately.) It comes down to a lack of time and energy. I'm just too busy to blog much, and all that work, some of it late into the night, makes me very tired. Being tired makes the work take longer, meaning I have go stay up later. It's a vicious bitch of a circle of life.

The Democrats have a new standard bearer in Senator Barack Obama, and his list of flip flops is growing almost as fast as his lits of donors.

He said he could no more disown Reverend Wright than he could his own white grandmother. A few weeks later, Wright was cast aside and his grandmother had to be concerned.

He told the world on a live televised debate that he would meet with dictators of rogue terror sponsoring nations like Iran without preconditions. Then spent weeks trying to deny and spin that into something else.

There was the flip flop on designating the Iranian Quods force a terrorist organization.

Another big one came when he backed out of his commitment to operate within the public financing system. He claims it's because the system is broken but everyone knows it's because compared to the money he is raising the $85 million spending limit would make him feel broke.

He's on the record agreeing that the DC gun ban was Constitutional, but now claims to agree with the Supreme Court decision declaring it otherwise.

Those are just the big ones, and I'm sure I've missed a few.

I hope Mr. Kerry enjoyed his reign.

The Waffle King is Dead.

Long live the King.
