The Crackpots and These Women

The 2008 United States Presidential Election has officially gone Batshit Insane.

1) Sen. Obama has won the last 10 primaries. Ahead in the count by 150 delegates. Where did this come from?? Sen. Clinton's campaign is on rooftops screaming about how this was not supposed to happen.

2) Sen. McCain potentially had an affair with a really hot lobbyist (who totally looks like his wife). This is kind of a big deal? and has taken the press away from...

3) Sen. Clinton accused Sen. Obama of plagiarizing a speech material from the Governor of Massachusetts. However, Sen. Obama has stated that he and Gov. Deval Patrick are close friends and borrow words from each other frequently. So, that move does seem a liiiiittle desperate, but when a person can get kicked out of college and have their entire career ruined for plagiarizing and it's no big deal for a presidential candidate... I see her point.

Unfortunately I couldn't watch the debate, because I had rehearsal. Classic.

I like the knowledge that no matter what, we will have a U.S. Senator be elected President in November, which has not happened since Nixon in 1972.

Other than that, the rest of my life really sucks.

With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan -- to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations. - from President Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address
