Hillary Clinton: Psycho ex-girlfriend of the Democratic party
May 7, 2008
Hillary Clinton is delusional. Behind in states won, delegates won and votes, she won Indiana by less than 20,000 votes and lost NC by over 200,000 and had the nerve to announce that "it's full speed on to the White House."
I wish she’d just go away.
Best line of the night goes to Jamal Simmons, one of CNNs political analysts: "Hillary says IF you count Michigan and IF you count Florida she'd be ahead in votes. Well, IF my aunt had a male appendage, she'd be my uncle."

How is this not illegal? Funny how when most of the mainstream media is knowingly or unknowingly complicit in selling the Bush Administration's lies you don't hear peep from them about this.

I got a fantastic birthday surprise tonight when my mom presented me with two boxes of photos, journals, yearbooks and other mementos I had thought I may have lost forever. (I still never found the digital pics I'm missing, though.) There's a ton of cool and embarrassingly ridiculous items which I will be scanning and sharing some of here. I think I may re-post some of my old journal entries (dating back to 5th grade!) on the blog here. Stay tuned.
Here's the first scan: Grandma's Navy photo

Worst. Debate. Ever. Last night's Democratic debate on ABC was a joke. In case you missed it (be glad), the entire first half of the debate was spent re-hashing Rev. Wright's comments, Obama's "bitter" remarks and the questioning of Obama's patriotism because HE DOESN'T WEAR A FLAG PIN. Meanwhile, they are apologizing to Clinton for not allowing her equal time to speak. No shit, you spend half the debate piling on Obama over some bullshit that has absolutely nothing to do with Iraq, the economy, health care or any number of other issues that are actually important to a majority of Americans.
Obama handled the attacks a lot better than I would have and pointed out that most Americans are smart enough to see through the usual political games and vote on the issues. I don't think Hillary did anything for herself in the debate other than to increase people's dislike of her.
