Fine, okay, it's a blog already!

"Everyone buy stock in ALCOA, there's a run on tinfoil amongst the Hillary supporters..."

- zippywpinhead, HuffPo commenter

In celebration of the achievements of our Idiot-in-Chief, San Francisco has a referendum to rename a sewage plant in Bush's name. I almost wish I could vote on this one.

It's 3AM and Hillary is trying to scare you into thinking she can handle the economy better than McCain. Hell, she can't even pay her bills.

Black Star News has a nice rundown of Clinton campaign race-baiting up to the Ferraro debacle.

Since Clinton keeps calling Obama a liar about using the term, the University of Chicago verifies, that yes, Barack was a professor despite what Hillary whines about.

The myths behind Hillary staying in the race.

How Clinton has change as a candidate. Losing inevitability must make you mean.

More on Hillary's loss of prestige in the press. It isn't that they necessarily hate her, goes the argument, just that the media is finally realizing her odds suck. Hell, they have for damn near a month and it is just now being reported.

The blowback from her disrespecting Bosnians.

More on Clinton as the new "queen of mean".

Alright, enough bashing of the race-baiting whiner for one day.

A couple observations here.

A few months back Clinton savagely attacked Obama for even passively saying that Reagan was able to motivate people and communicate to them. Obama didn't say he agreed with Reagan, just that he was able to inspire change and change actually happened.

Then Clinton went on later to accuse Obama for plagiarism for borrowing lines from his friend and advisor Deval Patrick. This meme went on for weeks as Clintonistas just wouldn't let it go. (Kind of like how I'd like to see Snipergate go on until she quits).

Ah, but that's all in the past.

Now Clinton is stealing jokes from Reagan. And delivering them in speeches (it's only words, you know). And delivering them...very, very badly.

Hell, watch it. MSNBC does the hard work and merges the two tapes together.

I just found this funny as all hell.

A fifth-grader from Allegan, MI found an error on a display at the Smithsonian Museum. He reported it and the error has since been corrected.

They even let him know they fixed it - though they screwed up his name and address in the process.

Now your screwups don't look so bad, right?

"So you're saying these 'progressives' who were excited to vote for a white lady are so upset at a black man getting uppity that they're going to vote for a white man instead?

"Huh. Interesting."

- progressive_realist, commenter at DemocraticUnderground, on the promise of so many Clintonites who say they will vote for McCain if Obama is the Democratic nominee.

I keep trying to close the anti-Hillary stories but some just seem either poignant or funny enough to keep around.

If you've heard enough, you might as well skip this post.

Hillary is kissing John McCain's butt again by stating that Barack Obama cannot win the general election. This is the part that truly gets me about her. Already the GOP has trained their voters to hiss at the very mention of her name. They've had 15 years or so of making sure those crossover votes won't happen. Clinton herself is denigrating "red state" voters, caucus-goers, African-Americans, and anyone who has ever had a dream.

And yeah, she's been touting McCain over Obama a lot recently. Maybe she's looking to be his VP choice?

Other than the few Democrats who are still members of the KKK and some feminists willing to forgive Clinton's sucking up to her cheating husband, who else is left?

Moving on: Bill Maher's take on the end of her campaign.

Also, how Hillary's behavior is turning off the very superdelegates she needs to steal the nomination.

More on the Clinton resurrection myth. Also, an article on the long term costs of Clinton's egotistical continuance of the campaign.

In this article, some GOP shitheel says Obama has a "glass jaw" and they have no problem getting ugly running against him as they had planned against Clinton. In the article, the GOP shows more support for Clinton (go figure!) and says they plan to do everything they can to keep Obama supporters from coming out and voting.

Yay! Go positive! Oh wait, they're still up to the same old tricks. As for the Obama doesn't know what the GOP will throw at him, I'm not sure. Clinton has been running an old school GOP-like campaign against him for months now, and he's still in the lead.

Charlton Heston is dead. The former actor and psychopathic NRA asshat has kicked the bucket.

I don't have much more to say other than I'd love to take his gun by prying it from his cold, dead hands. I mean, I'm sure it is a very nice gun.

She's catching on.

Hillary Clinton is running around screaming that "this is not a coronation". And she's right. No one is asking her to step aside to crown Obama. We're just asking her to either run a clean campaign or get her Republican ass out of the way.

Besides, her first reaction when she realized we went coronating her was to run a Rove-like racist, character assassination driven campaign of hate and fear. So, yeah, we've been aware of this for awhile now.

And yes, she's still lying. Not just about her attended-not-earned "experience" (though she's now lying about her opposition to the Iraq War) but on things like her campaign stories as well.

Plus Donna Brazile is speaking out against the worst of the Hillary supporters and the crap they send her and other superdelegates. Now, every time I see her give an interview it is obvious that she really, really wants to be for Hillary but just can't find a good reason to be. Instead, now that she explains why, the HillaryBots assail her for being pro-Obama, which I honestly do not believe she is. Way to kill the golden goose idiots. Try that on a hundred or so more wavering Clinton supporters and we can wrap up this primary season for good.

Here is an article comparing Hillary Clinton to George W. Bush, at least as far as personal failings go. Give it a read.

More on Hillary's ties to the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. Yes folks, now she's a fan.

Bill Richardson responds to Carville's laughable "Judas" comment by explaining that he is backing Obama to unify the Democratic party and, hopefully, our nation. Unity, something Carville and his ilk do not understand.

Plus, more on how the Obama campaign is changing the political landscape.

More from Slate on how the next president can fix what Bush broke. As you can imagine, it's a pretty long list.

First off, let's start with the kudos. Last week, the Florida legislature apologized for slavery, being the sixth state in the Union to do so, and the fifth from the Fifth Columnist traitor states in the South.

The state's Senate is also looking to possibly replace their racist state song.

So yeah, yay for Florida.

However, as this audio interview with the author of this editorial states, words may not be enough. Talk is cheap, and the South is still the racist South, the Civil War, Reconstruction, Jim Crow, the Great Society, the Republican Revolution, and the KKK prove the ups and downs of freedom for ALL our citizens down there.

The GOP is running a guy who was against recognizing the efforts of Dr. King, until, you know, he thought it could earn him votes. He was booed last week in Memphis, both for being a closet racist AND for making a black man hold an umbrella over his head at a memorial for MLK. Classy.

What I am also reminded of the fairly recent story I read about how a Florida legislator wants to make a Confederate Heritage license plate.

At the time, blogger Princess Sparkle Pony (yeah, I know, be warned when you click on this link for an assault of pink-ness) gave some examples of other Confederate Heritage plates they could make. Unfortunately, though satirical, you know some redneck would buy them.

Here's one now:

(sigh) We have SO far left to go in this country.

We were discussing fundamentalists a few weeks ago in the chat room of the Vast Empire, the Star Wars group I'm in, and the topic of the old Chick tracts came up. Heck, it might have even be me. You're never sure when a big discussion comes up of who said what and when.

Anyways, we laughed about them until we realized...the damn things are still in print. If you have never seen any of these: 1) count your blessings, 2) you really, really have no idea how hateful and psychotic fundamentalists can get.

And yeah, we were talking about everyone's fundies: Muslim suicide bombers, Jewish settlers gone wild, the "compassionate" hatemongers we have here in the US (not to mention the separatist Mormon pedophiles), all the same cretin as far as I'm concerned. But "our" lunatic fringe puts out propaganda in cartoon form.

Anti-Catholic and anti-everything along the way, even anti-Masonic Lodge in this story where a kid is satanic because his dad goes to the lodge. Genius! However, this one is a personal favorite, where the world is coming to an end and the One World Government (ooooo!!!) and a bunch of witches (really?) are settling the table for the Apocalypse. I know I've still got a copy of it somewhere.

Freaky, huh? There are, obviously, more of this filth and you can order them still. I just figured I'd pass this along to you. It's funny, scary, hate-filled, and disgusting all at the same time. Just like what you usually get with a fundamentalist.

So, Clinton won Pennsylvania as expected and will likely go on some form of angry rant about it soon. Stay tuned or tuned out as need be.

I have found in recent days that the Clintons are more and more becoming Republicans. First, Bill whines that Hillary would be ahead if, oh no!, the Democrats ran their primary season like the Republicans. Hillary was also endorsed by Richard Mellon Scaife's newspaper, further cementing her fanatic conservative fan base already home to Limbaugh, Coulter, et al, et scum.

On the eve of the election she also ran some (spooky!) ads featuring Osama bin Laden. Sounds like a Rove ad to me. With the added bonus of feeding the Osama-Obama meme her ilk likes so much.

In addition, the Sybil-like form of Bill Clinton emerges. First, he creates his OWN "fairy tale", accusing Obama of using the race card in South Carolina. Well, unless Barack is a ventriloquist and Bill a willing puppet, I'm not sure how that would have happened.

Then, despite audio to the contrary, he denies ever saying it. Fools.

You know, if you are going to provide a service to me, you've got to not piss me off while doing it.

My subscription for Smithsonian Magazine came due a couple months ago and I really debated renewing it. I enjoy the hell out of the articles, I really do. That said, there is some vein of stodgy conservative BS about the magazine that every so often just sits wrong with me. Plus, Dick Cheney has some position with the main Smithsonian foundation. And hell, I just can't endorse that with my money anymore. I'd rather he go broke and be spit upon for the rest of his evil days.

It is also pledge drive time at my local NPR station. Normally I'm pretty good about putting up some dough for them. Same problem though, I really can't endorse their content lately.

A few months ago I was griping about their "Conversations with Conservatives" interviews, aka "Know Your Enemy". Problem was, they didn't interview Trent Lott or McCain or even scumbags like Gingrich and Limbaugh. They went deep into psycho right-wing land and spoke to Glenn Beck, Richard Land, Grover Norquist, the real pieces-o'shit of the party. I don't want to hear from them; they think I'm a traitor for disagreeing with Bush. What possible thing could I learn from them other than even more loathing of them and their positions?

But I got over that, until NPR went on an ass-kissing three-part adventure to interview Antonin Scalia. Apparently he's got some form of book out. Either way, I wouldn't pull that guy out of the way of an out-of-control 18-wheeler. Yeah, I'm that petty at this point. But spend some time reading some of the decisions he's made while on the Supreme Court and you'd probably agree with me too.

Beyond all that "why am I funding FAUXNews Lite" crap, I also notice a strong pro-Clinton slant to NPR's reporting of the Democratic race. And that, frankly, is the final straw for me. Unless I'm getting some free show tickets for my contribution, I really don't see why I should bother this year.

They'll make their pledge totals, life will continue, no one will notice. But I will. And that's enough for me right now.
