Top Ten Jackie Chan Fight Scenes

The narrative is almost as good as the scenes themselves. Some profanity.

A Big Win But Too Late

The final results are far from in, but Hillary won the West Virginia primary and by a 2 to 1 margin according to the exit polls (which could be wrong, but I doubt it).

What does that mean? Not much really, since Obama is going to be the nominee no matter what, but it is important to note that as West Virginia goes tonight, so go all of the “gun-toting, God-clinging, working-class” states in November, including Obama-loving North Carolina. States any Democrat needs to win. Especially West Virginia since no one has been elected president without winning West Virginia since 1916.

Good for McCain, bad for Obama and the Democrats, especially since there is a good chance they may have a very contested convention right before the election. Add in the number of Hillary-supporters who say they will not vote for Obama should he be nominated - 38% I read, although it will be much lower come November - and it’s looking tough for Barry and the Dems.

Still, anything can happen and it is an uphill road for McCain and the Republicans this year, but it’s far from a done deal either way.

UPDATE:

As reported here, some liberals are saying it’s about race. Not true, but as the report says, calling people who aren’t that sure about you in the first place racists sure isn’t going to win them over.

UPDATE:

Hillary 67% Barry 26%

Damn, that has to give the super-delegates pause. But only a short one because like I have said before, Obama is the guy no matter what because the party leaders and the liberal media elite have made their decision. White liberal guilt and the real fear of alienating their black base will keep them on this track regardless of how poorly he might do in the general.

Still, it’s a long way to the general and all sorts of things can happen. Barry could stumble and Hillary could be the go-to gal. McCain could keep alienating his own base and the Ron Paul/Bob Barr nutso coalition could cause additional damage to the GOP. Even Gore could pop in and say, “Remember me?”

It’s going to be an interesting summer.

UPDATE:

“Obama only wins 53% of WV DEM PRIMARY VOTERS in a matchup with McCain.”

That’s telling in the general.

Moving To The Left On The Environment

Ugh, McCain is going green and buying into the global warming nonsense. I guess it is to be expected. He is, after all, a liberal who wants to get elected as a Republican in an electoral environment that is not that friendly to Republicans no matter how liberal they are. To do that he needs Independents and moderate Democrats and one way to get them is to track left on issues like the environment. Okay, that’s the way the game is played and I accept it, although I resent his lecturing me on my disbelief in global warming.

Still, he risks losing more of his base than he has already lost and if the end result is he loses more votes from his base than he gains from the middle and left, what has he accomplished?

Except creating this ugly-ass poster.

News Alert: People Don’t Enjoy Flying

While I’ve never left any unpleasant surprises on an airplane, I must admit I don’t feel very sorry for them. Air travel is horrible and the airlines certainly don’t appear to worry too much about making it better. Surely some airlines are better than others - Southwest has always been good to me, and my last four times on Northwest weren’t half-bad either - but overall, flying is much like visiting the dentist - you want it over with as quickly as possible and plenty of Novocaine to deaden the pain.

Now that being said, I hate people who dress like they just got out of bed while flying. Too-short shorts (and on hairy men - gag). Flip-flops. Crocks (again on men - gag). Sweat pants and t-shirts that have one too many stains on them. Sheesh people, have some dignity and class. Wear a nice pair of jeans at least. And a decent shirt that isn’t torn and greasy. And some real shoes.

You look like the “before” pictures on What Not To Wear for heaven’s sake.

And, oh yeah, while I am bitching about things. All you morons with those Bluetooth headphones/microphones shoved into your ear shouting to your boss or mother or wife about all the inanities of your life and forcing the rest of us to first look at you because we think you are talking to us and then, once we realize you are a fricken egotistical, inconsiderate showoff with a glowing silver rod sticking out the side of your head, forcing us to listen to your boring conversation need to TAKE THAT DAMN THING OUT OF YOUR EAR, FIND A NICE QUITE CORNER AND SPEAK IN A NORMAL TONE OF VOICE ON YOUR CELL PHONE!

Threesomes Are Overrated

Sixty-four percent of Democrats want Hillary to stay in the race. And if that isn’t interesting enough 42% of Obama backers want her to stay as well. There seems to be a disconnect here between the Democrat leadership/liberal media and the rank and file of the party.

If I were Hillary and I knew I was going to blow Barry away in West Virginia and Kentucky I would keep running too.

The other interesting thing is a lot of rank and file Dems, including blacks, want her to be the VP. I can’t see her taking it though. I don’t think she would be good as a irrelevant second-banana. Actually, she’d be a third-banana behind the delicate little flower, Michelle.

Can you imagine that dynamic? It’s hard enough to deal with one woman, but two at the same time? I have always had the impression that Michelle is the stronger one in that relationship and I can only imagine the fireworks between her and Hillary, or at least the fireworks between her and Barry when she doesn’t like Hillary’s influence on him (if there is any at all).

Am I being sexist by saying, “Meowwww, cat fight?”

No, I think Hillary will take this to the convention and, if she loses, tell her backers to support Obama, maybe even campaign for him a bit, and then return to the Senate to take the lead on some issues in order to rehabilitate her name and maybe try again later.  Since Obama’s presidency would probably be much like Carter’s she has a chance and she knows it.
