Animal Farm == Democratic Party

It's kind of amusing watching the Democratic Presidential contest for a number of reasons. The foremost reason is they have a number of special rules:

1. Florida and Michigan don't count.
2. Superdelegates are special.

The superdelegate issue reminded me of the final commandment in Animal Farm:

ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL
BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS

I reread Animal Farm recently to compare the current candidate selection contest to the old book. Surprisingly similar situation in many ways, especially if we add media from Orwell's other book, 1984.

Then we have various members of the Democratic party hurling various racist/sexist comments at each other, especially since they (say they) are the party of diversity! [The media never mentioned Senator Byrd, WV, past membership in the KKK.]
