Signs of the Silly Season, and worth mentioning: in the vacuum of actual news about the political contest between Obama and McCain, and with the speculation on who should be the vice-presidential pick, one name has bounced into view as a speculative possible vice presidential pick for Obama.

Chet Edwards.

Representative Chet Edwards of a Congressional District in Texas, round about Waco.

Now, you may go ahead and google the name to see the people weighing the pluses and negatives about picking Chet Edwards — one negative being that he holds the distinction of being in the most Republican district of any Democratic Congress-critter and holds a record which reflects such a distinction, for instance, and one positive being that he is evidentally telegenic and intelligent and… whatever.  But… I suggest that there is not a whole lot of point to weighing these things.

A stray comment from Nancy Pelosi, and political pundits of some varieties go ahead and look into the absurd notion that Obama is going to tap Chet Edwards.
