Gee, I seem to recall someone  (one particular) suggesting that Obama was falling back to Earth and that Hillary was widening the gap and gaining strength.  In fact, there were some loco comments in this article: Hillary campaign insists on changing rules after the fact

So do the results that came in INdiana or North Carolina reflect that change?  If so, uh, gee, I seem to be missing it.

You could see this coming from a mile away... Apparently Hillary's campaign learned some lessons (the wrong ones apparently) from the Gore 2000 campaign, most importantly if you are losing and the numbers are against you keep contesting and keep trying to get the rules changed in your favor until the math, hopefully, eventually turns in your favor.

Go Amazon go!

I love this news (from Associated Press, by Mark Sherman, Associated Press Writer):

Supreme Court upholds photo ID law for voters in Indiana

For details on who voted what ways for this one:

I didn't think I'd actually agree with this line of thought, but after reading through this blog article on Slate, I have to say it makes a lot of sense.  Obama should drop out.  He should drop out NOW.  Get out of the race and let the chips fall where they may.

Yup, Obama should get out of the race immediately,

Opening up the kangaroo court for the readers to take sides and tell me which approach is 'right' or 'wrong' here.  Please offer your verdict (opinion) in the commentary and feel free to take offense with the approach that others may have for this subject.

So, I'm seeing a story running on CNN (yeah, every now and then I can't avoid seeing content from that particular outlet) about how U.S. Presidential candidate and erstwhile U.S. Senator from Arizona John McCain wants to help provide an even bigger and better stimulus for the U.S. economy ... by suspending (I assume) Federal gasoline taxes over the summer.

This coming from the same John McCain that has complained about pork barrel politics and government handouts (as well as deficit spending) for years and years.  Apparently he 'woke up' while dreaming happy thoughts about perhaps being the next President of the United States, and realized that the U.S. economy is hurting and needs an even greater stimulus than what the tax pre-bate that is coming next month will really provide.  Further, he seems to have been influenced by the likes of the Travel Industry Association (http://www.tia.org/) and others that preach that travel is one of the big cogs in the U.S. economic machine.

I don't necessarily disagree with the idea that travel is important to the U.S., and I really don't like paying more in taxes than I have to, but I still think McCain -- and anyone else that wants to talk about reducing the gasoline tax -- is completely wrong here.  In fact, I've said before, and still stand by those words, that we should be raising gasoline taxes and letting nature take it's course in DISCOURAGING unnecessary travel in this country.  We must reduce gasoline consumption (as we continue to explore and develop alternative fuels for powering our transportation desires and needs) and the sooner we can do it and get to a point where we can tell a bunch of middle-easterners that they can keep their friggin' oil while we keep our corn and other food products (or sell those same products to them at greatly inflated prices) the better off we'll be.

McCain clearly has good intentions here, and yes, leaving money in consumers pockets is a good idea, but then again no sooner would the extra money from suspending the gasoline taxes be in our pockets than we'd be turning around and questioning why the tax man is digging even deeper in those same pockets to get money for fixing roadways, bridges, and other 'infrastructure' needs across the country.  Touching the gasoline taxes (other than perhaps to raise them to discourage unnecessary travel) is just the wrong idea, even if it seems to be the right time for it.

I've written on this topic before, but having now been to a game at the new Nationals Park (see article on that here: Nationals Park opening, take 0, I got an even better look at what will wind up becoming former D.C. Mayor Williams' legacy, the rebirth and renewal of the area where Nationals Park now stands.

Nationals Park is most easily accessed via the Metro  system.  There's an exit at the Navy Yard stop on the Metro Green Line.  If you take the Metro trains and exit at the Navy Yard stop, you are dumped off about 2 blocks, if that, walking distance away from the gates to the park.  Those two blocks are what will become Half Street, and Half Street is what will wind up becoming, if I'm correct (and I really think I am) a big part of the legacy of former D.C. Mayor Williams.

Someone please, just about anyone, though I'm looking sort of at one particular Hillary Clinton lover to really come on over and defend the bit..., uh, woman (and I use that term very loosely and feel bad about the disrespect it shows to all other women out there) and really explain just what is Hillary Clinton's experience?

What makes her more qualified for the office of President of the United States than anyone else, like say my birds, or the neighbors cats, or especially other legitimate candidates like her current opponent Senator Barack Obama.

Apparently Disney Chief Robert Iger is a Hillary Clinton fan.  No problem with that, as anyone has a right to be wrong if they wish.  Unfortunately for Mr. Iger, or worse yet, for Disney's stock holders, where Mr. Iger seems to be going way wrong is in using the power of his own office within Disney to squash the release of the mini-series "The Path to 9/11" on DVD format.

See article here: Investor: Disney shelved 9/11 film

There's more worth noting from that article (see the rest of my comments and a few more quotes from that news article after the jump...), but the important thing to note is how Mr. Iger is apparently letting politics cause a stupid business decision.  You'll see below some information from the original news article that notes that even the weakest of television programs typically find a release on DVD where the studios will gain an opportunity to make back the costs of the production or better still find profit for the studio.

News in article here: 'Super delegate' win would be unfair, voters say where the following should be a very clear message to Hillary supporters out there:

Uh, oh!

I have to laugh at the latest issues with the Fed's attempts to 'rescue' the faltering economy.  Why laugh?  Because if I wasn't laughing I'd be crying somewhat over how screwed up it's become or becoming.

Why is the economy this screwed up?  Oh, there are obvious reasons that many could point to.  The implosion of the housing market being among the highest on the list.  Why did the housing market implode though?  It imploded because Bernanke, like his predecessor Greenspan, saw a big bubble and just couldn't resist popping it.  Never mind applying common sense to how you handle a bubble (slowly let the air out so it doesn't blow up in your face), nah, Greenspan and Bernanke never met a bubble they could resist running to pop.

Clinton supporters seem to be buying their way on Florida and Michigan, most especially Florida.

To what am I referring and inferring this stance from? Keep reading...

Some may remember a very hearty discussion and disagreement over the issue of the government(s), either State or Federal, requiring teen girls to receive the Gardasil vaccine which is intended to help prevent cervical cancer. 

Only in California folks, only in California, though this was somewhat Union (teachers) inspired, so it could soon be used (by them) as an example in other states.
