I predict Hillary will stay in the race to the convention.
Let’s hope I’m wrong.
May 20th. Oregon/Kentucky. They will each win a state that day and then she’ll pack it in and endorse Obama.
lots to fight over ’til then:
May 31, 2008. Showdown: DNC Rules & By-Laws Committee meeting
The Drudge is reporting from his ‘Congressional source’ that “Hillary is having trouble finding super-delegates who will meet with her. No one wants to see her today.”
What? She suddenly come down with a bad case of cooties? Poor Hillary. Cooties can be so hard to get rid of.

Feinstein to ask Clinton for her primary game plan
I am finding it more and more difficult to find anything worth reading on the blogs as this primary goes on.
I predict I will become more apathetic and unmotivated if it continues.
and holy shit, i wish it was 5:00 PM so I could go home. I’m tired.
is on my mind:

That’s an interesting ad, for sure. Worthy of “Best of Craigslist” status.
I agree
Ha! It’s mine. I’ve got one on best of already.
Anyone know a hit man? *

Oh, it’s yours. Well…
You have a tremendous sense of humor, but I’m really sorry to hear things have gotten to this point. Best of luck, and we all know you’re fabulous.
The right people never know that I’m fabulous…
Oh, so now we’re not the ‘right people’. ‘O)
Thank you for your letter, BTW. I appreciate it.
Oh, that did sound terrible. I suck at taking compliments. You’re welcome.
LOL at this whole thread!
Congrats and good luck on in improving your situation. I wondered if it was your ad, as the writing sounded like you. If I had the room and lived in Raleigh, I’d probably get it just based on the ad alone. I’ll send it to some family members in down there to see if they need an extra piece of furniture.
The dresser was gone in like 5 minutes. I ended up giving it to a single mom who had just moved out on her own and couldn’t afford one. Everybody wins…
Please do share HIS reaction when he finds out. 😉
Hmmm, I’ll find out on Sunday…
Too bad you can’t just send him with it. (((SN)))
I’m glad that someone got something good out of it though.
I think I have him by the short hairs though, so all is not lost. Thanks for the good thoughts.
I admire your strength and sense of humor in the face of adversity.
It’s about time I stopped being an idiot. Humor helps. 🙂
I saw that earlier today and meant to tell you, it was pretty funny.
that’s awesome.
I was feeling inspired…
You are a classy lady!!!!
Mrs. Dem named one of her best friend’s exes “The Turkey”. Feel free to borrow it if it fits.
Thanks RF. I’ve gotten responses from all around the world about it. This Internet thing just might catch on…
So it’s probably not a good time to ask if there’s a matching nightstand?
Haha! There IS a matching nightstand, but I was too lazy to clean it out. 🙂
Seriously, that was one heck of a great ad!!! Someone should send that to the media. Seriously.
I’ve actually thought of sending the link to the gentleman who inspired it.
someone went around the grocery store and added $1 to the price of everything i usually buy.
now i have to work more.
im not amused.
on the upside this weekend is bears on liberty weekend in philly and im going to the friday night pub crawl…its gay rodeo weekend in philly and im going to see the events on sunday (gay rodeo rocks!!!)…and im going to a kinky party on sat night and im bringing the cupcakes. party party party.
She won’t quit until after Puerto Rico votes. That’s the largest pack of delegates remaining, and I’m sure she’s hoping for a June 1 blowout.
So please, pick up the phone. Call Kentucky and West Virginia to keep her margins small. Call Oregon and Montana and South Dakota to keep HIS margins high.
But please, please, if you speak Spanish, please call Puerto Rico on Obama’s behalf. If he wins there, there’s not a superdelegate with a conscience that can vote for her.
Has a nominated candidate ever died while on the campaign trail? If so, what happens?
Predictions:
I predict that the Orioles will, yet again, not make the world series.
We got a check today for some work we did in 2006. You read that right, 2006. It’s taken almost 2 years to get paid on this. I’ve spent way too much time chasing down this money. I asked them two weeks ago, “Hey feel like paying us on these old invoices.” They said, “You’ll be paid in full tomorrow.”
Well, a week went by and no check. I asked them to make sure the check was sent to our “new” address, you know, the one on all the invoices. Needless to say, they sent the check to our old address.
Sigh.
So this morning, I opened to door to see a package from this company. It’s our check. $600 short. Can you believe this shit? I can’t even figure out where they short-changed us because it’s one lump sum check.
Do I now have permission to drive down to San Diego and kick some ass?
Permission granted, Commander Faboo. Kick when ready.
Permission? I would dare say an obligation!
As another self-employed person, yes, I have had clients take their sweet old time paying, one of them two years. Funny how nobody is willing to wait two years for me to pay my bills.
Which is why I was infuriated to read that Clinton has stiffed small businesses across the country with a trail of unpaid vendors’ bills. Coulda been you or me.
who will Obama pick as his running mate?
I’m on a tear after filling up on Super yesterday at the pump and paying $4.05 for a gallon – to see the sign that says ethynol has been added. Yes, even to Super!
So Google tells me that the ethynol has added approx $.18 to my gallon of super and that as a 2nd gift the ethynol decreases my mileage 20-30%. What a deal!
Two things – so Bush has managed to gift big oil and big AG? AND how come the ethynol issues haven’t resurfaced now that everyone is being gouged at the pump and we just made gas prices a huge issue in the primary?
I’d like to play my part in the green scheme but when ethynol first came onto my radar gas was a whole lot less than it is now.
Not that it makes a lick of difference at this point, but I’m thinking that if the stream of supers headed Obama’s way keeps up, he can neutralize whatever happens in West Virginia. It might really take the wind out of certain peoples’ sails if he could stand up next Tuesday after the result is announced and say that in the week since NC and IN he had increased his delegate lead, despite Hillary’s (presumed) win in WV.
He’ll probably lose WV, but I feel like he’s in a strong position to make it clear that it doesn’t matter.
EGGHEADS for OBAMA
I decided to embrace the term egghead. LOL
Since you mentioned eggs, I’m pretty well fried after working the elections yesterday for nearly 20 hours, putting in a full 8 at work today and leaving for a central committee meeting in a few minutes. Ack! I thought these were supposed to be my golden years and I’m still fighting! Our local elections went really, really well, though, so I’m encouraged. We managed to knock off two horrible ratpub commissioners with a huge, humiliating defeat!
I think the egg needs a little bit of an easter egg design on it. 🙂
…and egghead wannabes will get a kick out of, courtesy of Mr. AP.

too funny!
and I have to tell you guys, David Gregory is really pissing me off. I am so sick of his questions that try to steer others to speak badly about Obama. Could he make it any more obvious that he is on Hillary’s side of the fence. But by the questions he asks, he sounds like a rethug. UGH!
let’s do a little savoring – over at Slate, we are now officially at 2.5% on the scale of survivability.
