After hearing that McCain was talking on TV about how Obama would be a good President, or something similar, I figure I’ll continue doing things backwards, and lend a compliment to McCain. Obama caught tremendous controversy after Rev. Wright’s comments were taken out of context and played over and over in the media. He initially [...]

17 May 2008Can you guess the state? Recently had about 100 students arrested, and several fraternties banned, after a massive drug dealing operation was busted at a state university. Recently became the second state in the nation to give homosexuals equal rights. Recently had 2 arrested at another school for selling body parts on the black market. [...]
Elections kind of got put on the back-burner during this awkwardly long waiting period, but Pennsylvania’s primary is on Tuesday. Obama’s closing the gap, although Clinton still leads in Pennsylvania. But what people seem to forget is that it hardly matters: they’re close, which means that they’ll probably walk away with similar numbers of delegates. [...]
The LA Times has an interesting article in which Bill Richardson suggests that he had intended to back Hillary, but between her overzealous TV ads and a bunch of unceasing, rude calls suggesting that he “owed” her the endorsement because he was on Bill Clinton’s cabinet, he decided otherwise. The Clinton camp, of course, has [...]
The UK’s Mark Steel has a particularly humorous piece on Hillary’s problems with accidentally mis-speaking and making strange claims, because she says so many words: Her next round of soft-focus adverts will probably feature her soothingly saying, “My fellow Americans, I drank a pint of walrus milk once for a bet. I speak fluent Eskimo. [...]
I hadn’t paid much attention at the time, but Hillary spoke the other day about how she was “battle-tested” and ready to lead the country, unlike Obama. (Or so she thinks.) CBS quotes her as having said: “I remember landing under sniper fire… There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at [...]
I used to like Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. They were both well-qualified, I thought, and the country would be in good hands either way. But I worried that Hillary had too many people who were opposed to her for one reason or another, so I thought Obama had a better chance of getting the [...]
What is it with Florida and screwing up elections? Right now there’s a big debate over what to do with their election results, which officially don’t count, and in which no candidates were allowed to campaign. Hillary did anyway, and, unsurprisingly, won. Of course, counting the votes is unfair–only one candidate campaigned, and she was [...]
Quoth the votemaster: Texas finally got the votes counted. The net result is that Obama actually won Texas. Clinton got four delegates more than he did in the primary but he beat her by nine delegates in the caucus. Between Texas, Wyoming, and Mississippi, he now has a bigger lead in delegates than he had [...]
…Texas has problems. Apparently, in the counties that got around to holding caucuses and primaries, no one was quite sure what they were doing. People waited hours to cast their ballot (wait, you cast ballots in a caucus? How is that diferent from a primary? Why do they hold them on the same day?), which [...]
