our president

This is what Dubya thought being President would mean. Not having to do all that hard stuff with the foreign-guys and being asked tough questions from the stupid reporters.

This is our President, folks. Thankfully, not for much longer. See the rest of the Presidential gallery here, xinhuanet.com

i love these guys.

how i wish i had been right

Why? Why didn't she concede last night? I understand she did very very well in Kentucky, but Obama now has the majority of the pledge delegates. She _cannot_ win in the pledged delegate contest. So instead of conceding, she comes up with a new, ridiculous argument: She's winning the popular vote. Apparently she uses Bush's "fuzzy math".

From Daily Kos:

Aside from the idiocy of the argument itself -- 1) this is a delegate race, and 2) unlike the 2000 presidential election, you can't compare the popular vote from contest to contest since each state has different rules (caucus or primaries, open, closed, or hybrid -- the way the Clinton campaign and its supporters shamelessly stretch this argument is almost embarrassing.
Clinton is "leading" the meaningless popular vote, but only if:
1. You count the unsanctioned contests in Florida and Michigan, where candidates were not allowed to campaign;
2. You give Obama zero votes in Michigan's Soviet-style election, where Clinton was essentially the only name on the ballot; and
3. You don't count the caucuses in Iowa, Nevada, Maine, and Washington.

What next, is she going to tell Kentuckians "Some have said your votes didn’t matter, that this campaign was over, that allowing everyone to vote and every vote to count would somehow be a mistake."? Oh wait, she did say that. Who the hell said that allowing every vote to count is a mistake? Who is she accusing of this? "Some"? The voices in her head?

Now, it’s especially sweet tonight because Kentucky has a knack for picking presidents. This state delivered two terms to a president named Clinton. And it’s often been said, as Kentucky goes, so goes the nation.

Really? Its been said often? That's new to me. Apparently so goes West Virginia, Ohio, Maine, Vermont, Google, and Steve Buscemi

will it be over tonight?

Barack Obama is holding his post-primary rally in Iowa tonight, not in Oregon which he is expected to win. Is this a sign that the campaign believes Hillary is going to concede tonight? It would be a great bookend to a long primary season, the state in which it all began. Hillary will enjoy her win in Kentucky, thank her supporters for a great win, and end her campaign on a high note. She'll go back to the senate with her head held high, graciously accepting defeat.

Sounds ideal to me...

some funny, no politics

this is promising

From CNN.com:

"I'm going to work my heart out for whoever our nominee is. Obviously, I'm still hoping to be that nominee, but I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that anyone who supported me ... understands what a grave error it would be not to vote for Sen. Obama."

Yay Hillary! That's the spirit! It's time to be gracious and offer help to repair this lengthy primary season. I predict that she concedes next Tuesday after the Kentucky/Oregon primary. She's looking for the appropriate exit, to leave on a high-note (Kentucky win) but an obvious indication that Obama is the nominee (his Oregon win)

Bush interview unforgiveable
