The voices of Spongebob Squarepants do the classics.

I laughed. I have to stop looking up weird crap.

H/T to Need More Coffee 

I found this and although it’s not Mystery Science Theater 3000, I might just be happy nonetheless.

Cinematic Titanic.

I miss you Joel, damn you, but I have to move on. I feel abandoned by you. But then you did this so I sorta forgive you.

***sigh***

If you call me, you will get my therapist’s number.

How is Tom Servo?

And do the laws protect those who practice it.

Go read this.

Just do it. I’ve got to chew on it before I write about it.

Silence says:

This is an apparent first for the state, and if you are a blogger, you should be following this one. I’m no lawyer but it seems to me the blogger, a member of the so-called “nontraditional media,” is practicing journalism and is therefore covered by the state’s Shield Law. That law, generally speaking, allows journalists to protect the identity of their sources.

What say you?

Remember a few weeks ago when I asked you guys to buy Stewman T-shirts and some of you did then I didn’t mention it again.

Yeah.

Well, the plan was that if you did indeed buy a T-shirt for my beloved Stewman, I’m coming to Nashville. I’m sorry that it will be a whirlwind trip but this Wednesday only, with the assistance of Smiley who knows I’m coming but doesn’t know he will be assisting me **heh**, I will be handing out these shirts at The Sportsman’s Grill on lovely 21st Avenue in spacious and scenic Nashville. It’s Jazz night at the Sportsman and I will be wearing lipstick. I’m sure you can pick me out of the crowd.

If you can’t join me, I can leave you a Tee with the person of your choice.

I know some of you have paid already. (Poor Russ and LWC haven’t gotten theirs yet. They are coming. Please bear with me as sometimes my brain cells get all tangled and I think I’m a Puffin. See picture of Puffin.)

Hell, if you didn’t get a Tee, matters not. Come anyway, bring yo’ blogging self and just say Howdy. I’m a huggy kinda woman so beware. I also smell like sin on a cracker. Yeah, I’m that groovy.

It will be a late evening. I probably won’t be there until roughly 7:30 as I have a meeting ahead of that.

I hope to see you and sorry it took so long. I’ll probably only be around one night but maybe it will be a night to remember.

So Barack Obama had a good weekend. He swept the primaries and caucuses, won a Grammy and, for these last couple of days, had the Midas touch.

I think it’s very interesting how he has younger folks headed to the polls in droves. With that thought out of my cranium, let’s take into consideration that things shifted in the political world this weekend.

First of all, Ron Paul must really be a Republican if he says he won’t run third party. I honestly thought Dr. Paul would venture out on a revamped Constitutionalist ticket for the Libertarian party. Shows how much I know.

Hillary Clinton had a rough weekend but don’t count her out yet. Those pesky superdelegates could change everything.

From the Associated Press,

Of the 796 lawmakers, governors and party officials who are Democratic superdelegates, Clinton had 243 and Obama had 156. That edge was responsible for Clinton’s overall advantage in the pursuit of delegates to secure the party’s nomination for president. According to the AP’s latest tally, Clinton has a total of 1,136 delegates and Obama has 1,108, following Obama’s victory Sunday in Maine’s caucuses. A candidate must get 2,025 delegates to capture the nomination.

The numbers illustrate not only the remarkable proximity between the two candidates, but also the extraordinary influence superdelegates could wield in determining who becomes the nominee.

The story goes on to say that Clinton wields more power with the Democratic party political insiders on this one.

Here’s my thing. I really don’t want either candidate to take on the role of the victim. I think it goes without saying that anytime anyone, Obama or Clinton, falls behind then the tone moves into the underdog vibe.

Clinton may not have won the primaries this weekend, but she is by no means the underdog here. The next couple of weeks could change on a dime. And it has to do with superdelegates and not so much for the popular vote.

I enjoy seeing both of the candidates play up their strengths with confidence. I realize I might be naive here and I realize that it’s a dog and pony show at this point but on a personal level I don’t enjoy seeing the manipulation of and by the media on this. It’s politics not Melrose Place. And, let’s be honest, superdelegates are basically just politicians. So, the voters have to depend on them to name the nominee. Once again I say there are deals being made and in this election I’ve seen a little bit more transparency about the whole process this year (I think the internet has a bit to do with this) but the key question is simple.

Who will the superdelegates go for?

Obama or Clinton?

I’m not so sure who it will be.

And I see a shift going back to the electability issue which enrages so many folks but is a valid dialogue. So, the question is, who can beat McCain? And who will John Edwards endorse and does it matter at this point?

Talk amongst yourselves.
