I just checked the results from today's primaries and do y'all smell that? That's Hillary getting barbecued! Obama won handily in all of the primaries and it wasn't even close in the Virgin Islands. The margin between them is only twenty-five delegates, that includes Super-Delegates. We still got a ways to go but it sure feels good to see those numbers.
Also, the Writer's Strike may be closing out this weekend depending on whether the Members vote to accept the new deal. I don't have too many specifics, but I did read that there is language that provides for compensation to Writers for "new media" usage. It works out to about $600 for the first two minutes of programming viewed and a smaller rate for the rest of the time viewed, not to be less than the total of the first two minute total... I know, it seems confusing, but that's actually the easy part of the formulas mentioned! Anyway, it is progress and a damn sight better than nothing.
Could they get more if they held out longer? That's the hardest question to answer. It does make you wonder just how much money the Producers are pocketing if $600 is them being stingy. We'll see what happens. GO OBAMA and GO WRITERS! Hi-Lo
