Saintless

I think this captures the very heart of the Utah Legislature:

Alt: I never understood why someone would expect me to accept their rules right after they’d punched me. I’m sure it’s all very symbolic or something.

You can just make up the rules as you go along, right?

Google has introduced 2-way Calendar Sync!

Hopefully some of the hair I’ve pulled out will grow back now.

Now I can access my calendar at home or on my laptop, on Google Calendar or in Outlook. When I add an event to the Outlook calendar on my laptop, Google Calendar Sync syncs it to my Google Calendar — and since I also have Google Calendar Sync running on my desktop, the event then syncs from Google Calendar to Outlook calendar on my desktop. All of my calendar views are always up to date, and I can choose whichever one I want to use.

My only complaint is…why in the hell couldn’t they do this when the Obama Campaign was in full-swing here in Utah for the primary? Ah, well. I still love Google.

The details are over on DailyKos, but here is a summary.

Hillary Clinton put out a campaign ad where a picture of Barack Obama was used. The photo was altered to make his skin darker. If that wasn’t bad enough, the ratio was also altered, or “squished”, to make it seem as if he has a wide, flat nose.

In this ad, she also lies about his subcommittee, saying it’s responsible for Afghanistan, and that he hasn’t held hearings. Problem is, Afghanistan is under another committee.

Then, when confronted, the Clinton campaign denies that the ad is theirs. Except the ad was on Clinton’s own site. Oops.

Seriously, go read this, look at the facts. This is absolutely horrible behavior. This woman does not deserve to be president, by any stretch of the imagination.

From ThinkProgress:

The Dallas News reports that already, polling places are experiencing a “crush” of voters for today’s primary elections. The Texas Secretary of State office said that “early voters last week had already surpassed the total early-voting numbers for both the 1996 and 2000 elections,” and that interest is expected to continue today. GOP polling sites, however, “were not as busy.”

I think maybe no one wants to be seen voting for a Republican, even in red states. Thanks to Mark for the witty reply that I turned into the title.

I’ve said over and over since this started that record turnout was the only prediction I would make. And it seems that record turnout on the Democratic side has been the theme through every state so far, and again in Texas. This is bad news for Hillary, I think.

I’m hosting a Watch Party tonight at Mo Diggity’s, and plan to live blog from the party (my first attempt at such a thing). Let me know what you think as the results come in, and I’ll share with the crowd.

And if you want first-hand information on what it’s been like in Texas, read this entry by a guy who’s been in my hometown of Sugarland, TX (aka Houston).

Yeah, we all know about the 3 am phone calls right now. And this does start out on that topic, but it gets much juicier.

I love the part where Bill tells the crowd (for Kerry during the ’04 election):

Now, one of Clinton’s Laws of Politics is this; If one candidate’s trying to scare you, and the other one’s trying to get you to think. If one candidate’s appealing to your fears, and the other one’s appealing to your hopes, you better vote for the person that wants you to think and hope.

I sure as hell don’t want another 8 years of Bush style politics.

This first one gets a shout out to my favorite pregnant friend (you know who you are, even if no one else does)

This one is something my own dreams would probably pull, once writing code the whole time I’m asleep finally wears off:

After the last video I posted of Hillary endorsing McCain, I stumbled upon this video.

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sz9VdoHZshA]

This is exactly what Hillary has reminded me of so many times, and towards the end when it shows her saying she had a specific social security plan, then her saying she wouldn’t endorse any social security plan until she’s “approaching fiscal responsibility” just eats at me.

I saw Countdown earlier talking about her accusing Barack of making side deals with Canada about NAFTA, and a friend (hi, Nikki!) sent me a link to an article about it. As I told her in reply, tfahese are the things I’ve known about her since the start, just knew inside. She’d lie to get us to go to war just like Bush, if it suited her purposes.

And that’s why, as much as I’d really, truly like to see a woman in the White House, Hillary is not someone I believe should be in there. I hope that tomorrow’s primaries and caucuses (aka primacaucuses) will answer any doubt about the Democratic Nominee being Barack Obama. The Results Watch Party will be quite a thrill!

I’d like to find a more eloquent way of expressing what I think of this. More below.

CBS News titled this: Clinton Says She and McCain Offer Experience, Obama Offers Speeches

Hillary Clinton told reporters that both she and the presumtive Republican nominee John McCain offer the experience to be ready to tackle any crisis facing the country under their watch, but Barack Obama simply offers more rhetoric. “I think you’ll be able to imagine many things Senator McCain will be able to say,” she said. “He’s never been the president, but he will put forth his lifetime of experience. I will put forth my lifetime of experience. Senator Obama will put forth a speech he made in 2002.”

The only thing I can say is “What a bitch!”

She has obviously abandoned the Democratic Party. Will they abandon her now?
