Month: March 2008

Of course, Ohio fucked us all, again, just like they did in 2004. I suppose we should never expect good things out of the Buckeye State, ever.

Hillary sqeeked a win in the popular vote in Texas (and, according to the numbers, it appears that it was the Limbaugh listeners who pushed her over the top. That’s something to be proud of, Hill.) — but when the delegate count comes in from the caucuses, that will give the edge to Obama.

Net result? Nothing changes. He still has a lead in delegates, roughly the same as when they went in to yesterday’s contests.

Of course, the Clinton campaign will spin (aided by the media) all week long, most likely. Doesn’t change the math. She can’t win this….at least not democratically.

But, given the fact that we’ve now seen the measurable effect of right-wingers purposefully voting for her, when will the rest of the country’s voters wake up? The Republicans WANT HER. Why do you?

My starfighter shirts have been somewhat popular, which got me thinking.

I’m considering launching a CafePress-based store which would concentrate on similar low-context geek references. The kind of stuff that you “get” only if you’re a fan.

I’m thinking about the winged BB logo (from the front of the tour bus), or the “Rocket 88” jetcar logo. Maybe a business logo for Lao Che Air Freight (several folks have already done this one). Network XXIII logo, maybe?

What kind of stuff have you always wanted to see on a shirt? I’m open to suggestions.

There had been some anecdotal reports of this, but Rush Limbaugh has now come right out and urged it, publicly. Republicans, aware that Clinton represents their best shot at winning in November, are voting for her.

Think about that — especially if you’re reading this in Ohio and Texas today. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

Even if they can’t manage to get her the nomination (which seems mathematically unlikely) — they can keep the Democrats involved in a bitter, potentially party-destroying nomination fight for another month or more — during which time McCain essentially runs for President unopposed.

Don’t let this happen, Texas and Ohio. Do the right thing.
