The results of Tuesday's Primary, and Hillary's... Comments.

So the Oregon and Kentucky Primary came and went, the result came down about like expected, Hillary taking Kentucky 65% to 30% over Obama, with 3% uncommited.

In Oregon, Obama came away with the V, 59% over Hillary's 41%. Overall big numbers for both candidates. However as each day goes on, it becomes steadily appearant that Obama will be the nominee, as he is now within around 65 delegates of locking this up. Of course, Hillary continues to demand that Michigan and Florida be seated, with the count being as it is now, despite them breaking the rules.

I really can't understand how people in those states are rallying behind her as their 'voice' considering she was fine with the decision not to seat them, until she needed them to have a chance. That's opportunistic at best - and rather telling of her.

Speaking of Hillary, you all have a chance to see one of her newest verbal explosions?

Check it out.

As Sen. Hillary Clinton has raced toward the end of what appears to be a losing bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, she has voiced what her most fervent supports have been saying -- her campaign has been dissed and damaged by people "who are nothing but misogynists."

Now, I am not one to deny that I've seen Sexism leveled at Mrs. Clinton and her campaign. I frankly don't think it's been anywhere NEAR as damning as she's insinuating - however I'd give her the point... if she didn't follow up with this gem:

Clinton, the first woman to make a serious bid for a major party's presidential nomination, said she did not think that racism was a factor in her bruising battle with Sen. Barack Obama.

Wait. Wut.

I'm sorry, she's claiming racism hasn't been a factor in this election? WHAT?! I'm at a loss, a noticable LOSS. Perhaps Senator Clinton is simply... unfamiliar?

With things like this?

Of course that means she's a candidate who's willfully ignorant. Once again she shows us another reason she shouldn't be president.

Allow me to explain, Senator Clinton. It has NOTHING to do with your gender, at least for many of us, myself in that number, and EVERYTHING to do with how horribly you've mismanaged your campaign, you're 20 million in debt, you've resorted to Republican style fear attacks, and outright lies and deception.

Please, just stop already.

And Now For Something Completely Different...

Okay, this isn't political, and there's a reason for that - I'd like to just point this out because it's entertaining.

In regards to the first story, you've got to wonder what kinds of people would do something like this. It's amusing on a base level, yes, but overall it's just... kind of immature.

And as for the second, I have a real love/hate relationship with Japan. I hate them because they suck my wallet dry every month, they turn gibbering fangirls into gibbering pseudo-multilingual fangirls, and they have some SERIOUSLY screwed up societal structures, ideas, and concepts. Then they do something like this, and I can't stay mad at them.

Hate Preacher Hagee: "God Sent Hitler"

A lot of people are talking about how this "isn't that bad". After all, he's not saying Hitler was good, just that he fulfilled prophecy. That's just diseased, no matter what. It's sick.

Desperation sets in... again.

Fight still on, Clinton asserts in Florida

As Obama trekked through central Florida, Clinton was 200 miles to the south, at the epicenter of the bitter recount battle that ended the 2000 election, summoning memories of the Bush vs. Gore Supreme Court decision as she argued for full representation for delegate slates from Florida and Michigan at August's Democratic convention in Denver.

Florida voters "learned the hard way what happens when your votes aren't counted and the candidate with fewer votes is declared the winner," she told a crowd in Boca Raton in Palm Beach County, a key site in the recount fight between Al Gore and George W. Bush that ended with a Supreme Court decision halting the recount.

"The lesson of 2000 here in Florida is crystal-clear: If any votes aren't counted, the will of the people isn't realized and our democracy is diminished," Clinton said.

Uh-huh. Right. So Florida's situation now, where they voted despite knowing that the rules said it wouldn't matter and Clinton only cares because they mostly voted for her, is the same as the Right stealing Florida's cast-by-the-rules votes. Exactly the same.

Somebody's desperate, I see.

I'm Prepared

Well, with the California Supreme Court's decision overturning the ban on gay marriages, you can bet your bottom dollar that we're going to be inundated with letters in every newspaper across the country from so-called "moral" people, decrying how evil and wrong it is that gay people might get some of the rights afforded to non-gay people. We'll have to read, again and again, about how "evil" and "sinful" being gay is, and how it's "unnatural", and how they "recruit" young people, and how society is "decaying", all because one state decided illegal, hateful discrimination was a bad idea.
To the people who are going to write these venomous screeds, I ask: Which is more immoral, gay people being able to marry the ones they love, or illegal occupations of foreign countries? Which is more immoral, people being able to access the special rights already given to others, or the wholesale pawning of our rights for a facade of security? More to the point, which is more immoral, people being gay, or people being ostracized, preached to, told they're worthless, discriminated against, hated, beaten, raped, and murdered, all because they're gay?
You want to talk morality? Maybe you should examine yours first!

Keith Olbermann's Special Comment, 5/14/2008



I saw this earlier tonight just after work. It's a must-see.

There's That Flushing Sound Again!

Clinton makes case for wide appeal

"I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on," she said in an interview with USA TODAY. As evidence, Clinton cited an Associated Press article "that found how Sen. Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me."

BWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH-GLUK-GLUK-GLUK-GLUK-GLUK. Hear that, Hil? That's the sound of the last shreds of your dignity, your chances, and what little respect I had left for you, all being flushed away.

Notice how very proud she is that she's big with "hard working" "white" people. You know, because the two are related, right, Hil?

Her biggest demographics are old people, conservatives, and uneducated white people. I wonder why?

Well, then...

So Clinton won. Barely.

I figured she'd win by a lot more - my guess was about 10 percent. Not a "squeeker". Not about 2%.

Maybe this state isn't so far gone, even with the WOWO crowd dragging their knuckles all the way to the polls to tamper with democracy.

Too close to call

As I type this, the margin between Clinton and Obama here in Indiana is just too damn close to really call. The way it's looking, Obama just might win.

Time to hope.

What matters?

From Countdown with Keith Olbermann: "What matters most in the elections"



I'm wondering: if Hillary loses NC, will it suddenly "not matter"? If, by some amazing chance, she loses Indiana (with people like these in this godforsaken state, it's unlikely), will we "not matter"?

Hillary Clinton needs to just stop. She's pretty much unrecoverably behind, and each day she refuses to bow out gracefully is another day that John McSameasBush has to lie about everything he's going to continue fucking up. This, though? This is just plain sad. This is what we call "being a sore loser". This is what we call "being in denial".

This is what we call "being a lot like Bush".
