Better than 'find the saltine'

A few weeks ago, I graveled Roscommon. We got a pretty good laugh out of it.
A few seconds ago, I just had to shake several rocks out of my shoe. I guess that makes us even.
For those of you who aren't die hard Scrubs fans, here's where it came from:

Next vote wins

Ha. Oh, the Onion. Good stuff.
Desperate Hillary To Obama: 'Next Vote Wins'

I still think its ludicrous that people actually think that she's in this "for the people." I think people have forgotten that was all for stripping MI/FL of their delegates last year, then when she won both states, she suddenly wants them seated. For the people, though. Of course it has nothing to do with being her ONLY hope of being competitive with Obama again.

I honestly think she's doing this knowing that she's lost this year. She's attempting to ruin Obama, leading McCain to the white house, and paving her way for 2012.

But, of course, she's for the people.

Stupid, blind, people.

in other news....

aside from all my political ranting lately. (I'm sorry everybody, but this is the only place I have to vent it anymore.)

I also got a bunch of new music recently! Good stuff, too.

Death Cab for Cutie - Narrow Stairs

The Raconteurs - Consolers of the Lonely (video)

Jason Mraz - We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things

wow.

Just when I thought I was done. It gets better.
Bill Clinton. Where do you get off? Seriously. We've endured and been MORE than accommodating for your theatrics and shenanigans for YEARS.
I think you need to re-think your choice of words; or do you think people have forgotten? The biggest embarrassment the Democratic Party has had in the last 30 years was YOU. Getting articles of impeachment filed against you. Committing perjury under oath. Receiving a sexual act from an intern in the oval office while your WIFE was in the White House. THAT'S embarrassing. What's happened in MI/FL is called tough love. Yes, those delegates need to be counted at some point, somehow. But the facts are this: both campaigns have declined plans to seat MI delegates. Both plans were unfair. So "don't pretend" to be on some mythical moral high-ground, Mr. Clinton.

I guess I still don't see how in the hell you'd ever seat the MI delegates. Hillary ran uncontested! Barak's name wasn't even on the ballot! Of course she won. I can beat the Boston Celtic's in the finals single-handedly, too. IF THEY DON'T SHOW UP. Its easy to win when there's nobody competing against you. Duh.

Rant to end all Rants.

*if you're sick of my political ranting lately, feel free to skip reading this post.*


This is my tipping point, Mrs. Clinton.
You're done. You've lost. You can't win without over-ruling a majority of your own party. 54+% of them already say that they don't trust you at all. You've been demanding that MI and FL delegates be seated. A ridiculous demand, equivalent to a snotty pampered rich girl stamping her foot that she MUST have that pony, even though she has no where to keep it. What I've never understood is WHY she thinks MI/FL primaries should count. The DNC said, 'you move up your dates, we won't count your delegates.' They did, and their delegates aren't going to be counted. Going back on that now will make the DNC the new UN. Tons of authority, but no one actually does what they tell them too.
Hillary's argument was that the people of MI/FL's voices must be heard. Not a terrible point, we don't want big states to be disgruntled in November. But your new stance since your ass-whooping in NC and your Rush Limbaugh-assisted win in IN goes too far. Keep in mind that Obama's name WASN'T EVEN ON THE BALLOT in Michigan. How's that fair, princess?

"Mrs. Clinton has insisted that Michigan's 128 pledged delegates be seated according to the state's Jan. 15 primary results, giving her 73 delegates (and Mr. Obama zero). Mr. Obama has suggested an even 64-64 split.
The compromise, drafted by four prominent Democrats, would split the difference between what each candidate wants, awarding 69 delegates to Mrs. Clinton and 59 to Mr. Obama.
The Obama campaign said yesterday that it would "seriously consider" the plan, which was crafted by Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan, Rep. Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick of Michigan, United Auto Workers President Ron Gettelfinger and Democratic National Committee member Debbie Dingell.
"The fact that Senator Clinton has flatly rejected the wishes of Michigan Democrats proves that her position on this matter was apparently never about principle or the people of Michigan, but about whatever political calculation benefits Senator Clinton," Mr. Vietor said.

Mrs. Clinton is now purposefully preying on the uneducated, er- sorry, "Blue Collar" (see also: Rednecks, degenerates, ignorant simpletons, etc.) voters in those states. Portraying this as a scenario of 'they're trying to rob you of your vote!' rather than the truth of 'your state gave the finger to the national DNC leaders and want to not get in trouble for it'. Its subtle, its sneaky, its underhanded, and 100% Clintonian. Effectively, she's made this a situation where only she can win those states in November, as they're obviously going to be displeased with the people who made them 'stay in from recess.' (ie: the DNC and Obama.)
The worst part is, you're further diving the party into intelligent people and ignorant retards (I'm done beating around the bush. You're a large portion of the country, but you're still the lowest common denominator and I don't think we need to pander to your simple xenophobic ideas. We've had 8 years of that.). People realize now that you don't ACTUALLY want the good people of MI and FL to have a voice. You turned down the compromise provided by MI which still gave you more delegates. You've shown your colors to those who can read and think for themselves. You don't want them to have a voice unless that voice is 73 delegates for you and 0 for Obama, whose name was not an option on the ballot. (which STILL leaves Obama ahead.)
Its enough that you ran a dirty campaign with your own money, tarnishing one of our best candidates in years, so you can have a pout-fit. Grow the F-CK UP, Hillary. Save your money. It wasn't bad enough already, now you're obviously not the Democratic nominee, and all you're doing is slowly ruining the party's chances in the fall. Stop being such a selfish little witch and step down. I've had it with you. Your mentor's had it with you. The DNC chair's had it with you. Its already starting, but people are still being 'nice' about it. Continue the course you're on, and I think people will stop being nice. I'm done with being nice. You're hurting our country. Stop pandering to the worst part of our population. There's a reason they like you. They don't know any better.

Hell, lets make up a new state and give you all their fake delegates, too. West Montana. 56 delegates to Hillary. 1 for Obama. He didn't do well in West Montana.

Zune, just give up.

As if the Zune wasn't unpopular enough. The Zune is already a vastly inferior .mp3 player, and Microsoft is already the tech-industry equivilant of the Bush Administration, telling you to be quiet and 'don't worry, we know whats best for you.' Now they're even further limiting what kind of files can and can't be played on this player. Might as well just come with a jacked up copy of Windows Vista (which, of course, was WAY too big to run smoothly on your computer. So you downgraded back to Windows XP, only to find that Microsoft has paid all vendors to not support XP anymore so you HAVE to use Vista. Thanks, Microsoft, but this isn't Communist Russia, and my next computer purchase will be a Mac). The Zune does have one good purpose, though.
A paperweight. To keep the papers at your desk neatly stacked while you listen to you iPod.

Props to the Platypus

Dude. All I have to say is: Electro-reception. That's pretty awesome, Platypus-es.
Our family has been pro-strange animals for as long as I can remember. Roscommon's giant stuffed anteater, (which has ironically been replaced by a giant stuffed penguin) books about echidnas, koala bears, sloths, etc.

...I still want a pet koala. I'd hold it. Pet it. Feed it a leaf. Sic it on my cuddly-animal-hating friends.

Hillary Vs. The Coffee Maker

This was just too funny to me. After all the 'elitist' comments, the arguments that she's been 'better vetted' than Obama...
Hillary hasn't gotten her own coffee in years. Or the machine is broken. Either way, I got a laugh out of it.
(no this isn't relevent, but I figure with all the negative ads against Barak, she can take it.)
