Hello Lizards!

Emily Dickinson is my favorite poet of all time. Simple yet profound. Every word measured and not a single one wasted.

Since it is an open thread - Farm Dog versus Wile E. Coyote - which one is Obama and which one is Clinton?

And you can sing all her poems to the tune of "The Yellow Rose of Texas."

Emily was quite the eccentric, IIRC. No one knew she could write until they found her work after she died.

re: #13 Syrah

bottom shelf, plastic bottle tequila is the way to go.

OK, we need something to argue about.

Just posted on zomblog:

Here come the pro-Expelled demonstrations

Oh dear.

Just when you thought it was safe to get back in the classroom...a protester promoting the claims put forth in Ben Stein’s controversial film Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed showed up on the U.C. Berkeley campus today to argue with students about creationism and atheism.

When I stumbled across this scene, I didn’t at first notice the Expelled card on his sign. It’s rare to see anti-atheism protesters in Berkeley (as you might imagine), so I stuck around for a while to eavesdrop on the ongoing arguments.

It wasn’t until I circled around to the back that I got the full gist of his intent.

And then it hit me — Oooooohhhhhh, he was inspired to confront the UC students by Ben Stein, who thinks creationism should be given equal time in science classes alongside evolutionary biology. (Which, in my opinion, is a completely ludicrous demand, seeing as creationism is not science. Teach theology in Sunday school; in biology class, stick to the scientific method. This review of the film pretty much sums up my opinions on the matter.)

I don't create reality -- I just report on it. So don't blame me for the topic!

re: #14 schultzw Let's HOPE?
Fuck that, we're gonna go after Barry, hammer and tong.
I think a lot - actually most - folks out here don't realize that Hillary couldn't really go after Obama after Super-Tuesday - if she did, the super-delegates could well have all announced for Obama to get her to shut up. They may still do so. But McCain and the 527's don't have to worry about anything except winning the election.
And I hope, pray and expect that excellent blogs like LGF will continue to expose Obama for the person he really is: Anti-America, Anti-Israel and Anti-White (unless being neutral or pro-White would help him at any particular junction).

Hoo-ee! Just finished watching "I Am Legend" on DVD. Scary stuff. Lot's of zombies that needed killin'. Possibly the best performance by Will Smith ever. The DVD has a bunch of really dark animé style shorts on it. So, I am behind on the election results. But it seems BHO pulled stronger in Indiana than anyone expected.

Oh, OK, went and checked -- looks like a split decision with O and H.

That's the best news possible! Keep the race undecided until the convention!

Zombie, Obama in NC and Hillary, barely in Indiana. The count in one County is questionable. Dirty tricks?

O made a statement tonight... IN is still too close to call with 17000 votes separating them (Clinton leads), but the one county which is yet only partially counted includes Gary, IN, which is expected to be dominated by O (and the early counts there show that.)

So, Hillary has lost any and all momentum now. Fat pantsuit lady will sing shortly...

re: #33 zombie

No. Hillary is too far down in the numbers (delegates) for a close call to be acceptable. She really really needed to win these contests. She trails by around 150 delegates (depends upon whom you ask), and now hasn't a prayer of picking up that amount in the few contests that are left.

Is INDIANA a "winner take all" state? or do they divide delegates?

re: #32 rawmuse "BHO pulled stronger in Indiana than anyone expected."
Except, of course, for the Mayor of Gary -who extended the time to count the votes so all those Obama Supporters could get into Gary in time to vote for Obama.

Well, according to the Obama supporters out there writing on the blogs, the numbers now are that even if MI and FL delegates are seated, and Hillary won the majority of the remaining delegates in the few contests left, Obama still has the numerical advantage.

If that is true, then it is over.

And to think he was once the first black president. Geepers.

In fact, when the counted the remainder of the Lake county ballots, she made up ground. About 7000 votes. His margin only ended up 55-45. He did better in Indianapolis.

When all is said and done, it looks like she'll win Indiana by about 20-25000 votes... about 2%. She won by more than that in Texas, but Obama ended up with more Texas delegates.

I've meant to see that one....I'll check and see if it's available on netflix.

re: #71 realwest

Just can't see Hillary getting the delegates... that is why I posted ickes' comment earlier (on the other thread.) Her own guy admitted that even if the MI and FL delegates were seated Hillary would still need in the vincinity of 150 more delegates.

I just can't imagine the remaining uncommitted superdelegates going against the trend. Sure, even if Hillary technically won IN by 20,000 votes, that is still much closer than some had thought it would be.

Even former Clinton cabinet members (who are superdelegates) have drifted from the fold....

Anyway, long time ago (2007) I thought that Clinton was the odds on favorite and that their political machine would deliver for them. However, Obama has surprised us. Guy has got charisma and more importantly - hair (which most of the older white guys running for office lack.)

So onward and upward to the general election.

Speaking of which, I have yet to figure out how much relevance to give to Newt's latest rant.

re: #92 Killian Bundy
Yeah, I still don't understand that Texas vote/delegate allotment at all.
But Hillary truly expected to get drubbed down here in N.C. - waaaay too many Black voters for her to overcome.
And I still don't see why, when "racism" is raised, nobody in the fucking media, including Fox, talks about the racism of MORE than 90% of Black voters in all the primaries voted for Obama? Is that a taboo subject?!

Ben Stein, who thinks creationism should be given equal time in science classes alongside evolutionary biology.

In a word, yes. In Journalism school they are taught that minorities are incapable of being racist.

re: #95 freetoken Oh I understand what you're saying, I'm just saying I think she'll hang in there for the floor fight that I feel is coming!
Real question is: Will Obama offer her VP? and if he does, will she take it?
Watch the MSM spin it that way - that if she doesn't take VP slot she's hurting the Dem party chances.
But again, do you think Obama would offer the VP slot to her?
