The state primaries of Ohio, Texas, Vermont, and Rhode Island yesterday has brought Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton a surprising turnaround — among her victories… Ohio, Texas, and Rhode Island!

Election results here and here.

Samples from the comments left on Clinton’s blog:

Hillary’s speech was brilliant. I love that she reminded everyone of Ohio’s historical significance. No one has lost the OH primary and won the Whitehouse. I am so excited and inspired right now, and the confetti and deafening cheers were so exciting! I am alone at home, and I was cheering along with the crowd (my neighbors might think I am crazy lol). Thank you OH and RI, and I am optimistic about TX!

This…..

IS THE HAPPINEST DAY OF MY LIFE!

HILLARY I LOVE YOU AND I AM GLAD YOU DID NOT ANYONE KNOCK YOU DOWN!!

Ahem… that was a very selective offering, since the vast majority contained exclamations of “Praise the Lord!” and “God bless America!” and that kind of nonsense…

At any rate… very reinvigorating night for the Clinton campaign. Hopefully, the rest of America will realize that experience does matter…

[Edit] HAHAHAHAHAHAHA—!!! [/Edit]

“Life Cereal, made with whole grain Quaker oats, tastes good and is a nutritious choice for you and your family!”

Unfortunately, it tastes so fucking good that I usually consume half the bag at one sitting… and I think it ceased to be nutritious a long time ago…

Rehabilitation…? Yes, that would be nice…

Quiet, stupid shoulder demon!!!

Hey, did anyone happen to catch NBC Nightly News (with Brian Williams) last night? He was reporting from Cleveland, Ohio, and right before he signed off, he mentioned something about Northeast Ohioans expecting eight to ten inches of snow later in the evening. (Tim White and Romona Robinson of the local Channel 3 News later refuted that claim, forecasting a meager one to three inches instead: “Eight to ten inches? What was that all about? He obviously didn’t listen to our Betsy Kling!”)

Haha… well, it certainly wasn’t eight to ten inches, but for all intents and purposes, Brian Williams was right.

Which is sort of tragically funny at the same time, since I was earnestly planning to play hooky today.

Daddy: Hey, Jenny, you don’t want to go to school today? The high school’s closed!
Fa: … what? GODDAMMIT. *thoughts turn to the local school district* Wusses!

At which I threw open the window blinds, and realized that there actually was quite a lot of snow outside.

I devoured half a bag of Life cereal later that day.

In other news, the last Democratic debate of our national primary season is TONIGHT!

Cleveland State University is hosting the event at 9:00 pm this evening, and both Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama will be in attendance. Moderators will be Brian Williams and Tim Russert of NBC News.

Reportedly, since there was so much interest in volunteering at the debate, two separate lotteries were held to divvy up the slots!

Americans and Earthlings, prepare yourselves! History is in the making!

Yes, I know I promised some nice, soft news music reviews… but which is ultimately more important to the future of the free world… Chinese pop or today’s huge primary/caucus day??

To all Americans present… YES, TODAY IS SUPER TUESDAY.

Approximately 22 different states are either holding their presidential primaries or caucuses TODAY. This is bound to be a pivotal turning point in our presidential race. In short, it’s make-or-break for all candidates involved.

See the tabulated results here and here.

People in those Super Tuesday states today… get off your apathetic tushes and go support your Democrats!!

[Edit] McCain seems to have clinched most states handily, while the Democratic race is still neck-and-neck; as of this writing on Wednesday morning, Hillary Clinton has won more delegates but Barack Obama has won more states. [/Edit]

Besides the political ruckus, there was an all-new House episode today: patient was a Hasidic Jew, and Dr. Wilson’s going out with Amber aka Cutthroat Bitch—! And although we all at first logically assume along with House that Cutthroat Bitch has a devious plan to manipulate Wilson’s closeness to House to “get back at him,” she and Wilson actually seem to like each other.

Heh heh heh… social equals…

Aaaaaaaaaaaaagh I’ve been sitting in front of this accursed library computer for nearly three hours and I can’t tear myself away…!

So. I finally switched to a new WordPress theme, except that this author was a sloppy coder/designer and I had to manually clean up and tweak the main stylesheet, as well as some of the theme templates.

Aaaaaaaaaand — the 2008 American presidential race will officially begin with tonight’s Iowa Caucus, which commences at 7:00 pm. I sincerely hope Hillary Clinton does well, and wins the party nomination… or simply that a Democrat wins the presidency, for that matter.

Hey, I think the couple habituating the computer to my right are speaking… German? No, that doesn’t sound right… I think it’s some eastern European language. It sounds very beautiful.

Well, in a moment I’m going to get off my tush and walk home in my high-heeled, knee-high black boots fitted with orthopedic arch supports. The boots were purchased from Goodwill for $5, and the arch supports are for my recently rematerialized flat feet.

Oh, school… you loom ever closer, less than a week away, and I still haven’t made substantial progress on my exam review packet and chemistry homework… will you please slow down? Thank you.

Behold! The enemy is among us! —————>

OK, OK, I was just kidding. That really is a far cry from my real attitude regarding Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s visit to the U.S. today. For those of you who didn’t read my last protected post (and I really must congratulate you if you managed to crack my top-secret password), I mentioned yesterday that Ahmadinejad was invited to come speak at a forum at Columbia University. TODAY. Yes, today. Here in the U.S.! In New York! Today! So close, yet so far…

Yet, predictably, Ahmadinejad’s visit has already been marred by a round of protests from students and politicians alike. Some, like me, are perfectly willing to allow him to make his views heard. Others have already condemned this event as a “perversion of free speech” and some brilliant politician out there contributed this equally brilliant quote, stating that “There is no excuse to have this madman, this little Hitler who is running around all over the world killing our soldiers. This is immoral. This is outrageous. This is sick.”
