Keith Olberman is NOT HAPPY

Lest there was any doubt who I'm supporting.

Gov. Easley says, "..."

Governor Easley, after announcing his endorsement of Sen. Clinton for Democratic Presidential nominee:

"I am having a ball today, [t]here’s nothing I love more than a strong[,] powerful woman."

Whoa. Easy there, bucko.

State your case already!

Superdelegates need to grow a pair and say who they're supporting for the nomination, already.

This has gone on long enough.

If I garnered self-worth from things like this, I would be sad

I'm so glad I get personalized emails from my wireless company:


"Hello +First Name+ +Last Name+,

Your monthly wireless bill is now available for review online...."

I feel the earth move under my feet

Hey, who needs Cali? We've got our own earthquakes.

They are a bit unsettling, let me tell you.

I engage in activities that are considered standard for demarcation of having survived yet another of earth's revolutions about the sun.

Yay me!

The Kingpin

Can't decide whether it's cool that the NYtimes decided to report on Barak bowling in Pennsylvania, or whether it sad that it was a such a completely slow news day that this made it near the top of the politics blog page.

So much for that argument

Here's a post from a Democratic superdelegate, on a blog that s/he is operating.

It addresses the argument put forth by Senator Clinton's Indiana mouthpiece, Sen. Evan Bayh: Since Clinton has won the states with a large say in the Electoral College, that the Superdelegates should nominate Clinton.

I'm not going to cut-and-paste the post, but here is the summary if you don't want to check the original:

1) A strict count (summing up the electoral college votes of the states won by Clinton and Obama): Clinton 219, Obama 202.

Sounds good for Clinton, but:

2) Discounting states that Democrats are not going to win: Clinton 157, Obama 150.

Argument becomes less instructive. Finally,

3) Looking only at "swing states" (minus Louisiana for Obama and Arizona for Clinton): Obama favored by 2.


Again, please refer to mrsuper.org for the full post. I didn't do the research for any of this.

Once again

A week or so ago, I registered for this year's Chicago Half Marathon. Current to do list:

1) Think about registering for the Marathon
2) Actually register for the Marathon
3) Learn how to run again
4) Return to former Marathon pace (7:55/mile)
5) Surpass former Marathon pace (aiming for < 7:40/mile)
