Obama wins again!

Another day and another win for Barack Obama! I checked out the numbers here and it appears that Obama had a 59% to 40% advantage over Clinton in a state with roughly ten registered voters. I guess we can thank six of them for pushing him to victory and hope the other four will vote Obama when he gets the nomination. Hi-Lo.

Ohhh-bama, McCain Mc-DOH, Writers mulling it over, Lakers win again

Man, what a weekend! If things go the way I hope they do in November, this weekend may come to be known as "Obama Shutout Weekend". Obama won all of the state primaries, roaring into another Tuesday of primaries coming up, prompting Hillary to dismiss her Campaign Manager. Meanwhile, McCain might be up on the judge's cards, but he can't get the knockout on Huckabee. Pundits be damned!

The WGA Leaders held a Press Conference addressing the new offer from the Producers, saying that it is a "good deal" and that the Writers should approve it. They also pointed out that they didn't get everything they deserved, leaving a few things on the table, but that it was the best deal they've had in over thirty years. So, in the next few days, we'll see if the Writers lift their pencils or break them in half.

And finally, LAKERS WIN AGAIN! Was that Pau Gasol trade like getting free money or what? Still, I would've liked to see the Heat with Shaq one more time. Oh well, a win's a win. Hi-Lo.

News Overload

Wow, folks, what a day! SO much happened today my mind is in over-expansion mode, so let me unload for a minute. First off, pray for all the folks down South who were affected by the group of tornadoes that hit. I got family there and I'm praying already, but they sure wouldn't mind your prayers, too. I saw the pictures of Lafayette and Jackson, Tennessee, and they were heartbreaking.

Second, or actually 1A, Obama and Hillary are in a virtual tie in the race for delegates. If you thought this race was almost over, grab some popcorn and get a comfortable chair.

Third, the coroner released the results of the Heath Ledger autopsy and, as expected, they found that he died from an accidental overdose. The proof is there, now let him rest.

Fourth, Shaq passed the physical and the Suns now have a 20-million-a-year Diesel, cab-minus-the-trailer, in purple and orange. This was an expensive, dangerous deal for Phoenix and it won't put them over the top, on the court anyhow. Sorry Suns, but we had Shaq during his glory years. Sad as it will be to watch him Barney up and down the floor, I won't feel sorry for him or his new team. All parties signed off on this trade, yes Marion too, so they'll have to live with it. Speaking of The Matrix, if he was miserable on a high-powered team, I don't want to see him when he heads off the court after a tenth loss in ten games!

Fifth, though it could move to second in the coming months, McCain took command of the GOP race yesterday by gangster-slapping Romney in the primaries. At this point, Romney needs to freshen up that resume because he's not gettin' this job. Huckabee is sitting pretty since McCain will most likely draft him as his running mate. Yes my people, if that happens, the rich get dinner and we all get plenty of desert.

One last thing... GO OBAMA!! YES WE CAN!! Hi-Lo.

Heath Ledger, politics, burning in the Brain

First up, can we all agree that the death of Heath Ledger is a tragedy on infinite levels? A two-year-old daughter left behind, an atmospheric career cut short, and an emerging talent we'll never see reach maturity. Everyone wants to focus on how he died, what was his state of mind so that he can be judged, but does anyone want to focus on how he lived? Let's celebrate a life that brought entertainment and awe for millions. Let's revisit the performances to be remembered throughout his career. People will believe what they want to believe about his death, but let's all be bigger than that; spin it as the media might, it won't change that he's gone. Do not judge this young man, not for his death, not for his life, not at all. Just marvel at another miracle we were witness to.
Speaking of not judging, can people not belittle his existence by saying things they wouldn't have said to his face? I mean, this guy for Fox News, who I won't give the courtesy to name in my space, makes fun of him on the air to start some controversy and boost his ratings? Well done, sir, way to show how much we've grown as a species. Should this guy even be on the news? Should his stunt have even made the news, rewarding a heinous act of disrespect? Let Mr. Ledger rest in peace and let his family know that he meant more than gutter-quality headlines and cheap-shot antics.
As for the politics of the day, do the Democrats really need to follow the Repugnantcans plan of stabbing each other in the back with attack ads? Come on y'all, are you going to let us be taken again because you don't want to rise above the B.S.? Barack, Hillary, y'all are bigger than that. No hitting below the belt, costing America points and pull the race-gender-family cards out of the deck along with the Joker in the Crack House. We need a hero y'all and heroes don't play in the pigpen. We're all hurting and you can't build a solid new foundation out of shit. Hi-Lo.
