The Democrat debates tonight were held in Hollywood. Since it snarled traffic really badly for me on my way to work, I’ve decided to vote Republican.
Yeah, I didn’t think you believed that for a second. I did watch the debate tonight, because Super Tuesday, AKA The Nearly National Primary, hits California on Tuesday. And since […]

In a bit of a crap mood today. Not sure why. Anyway, this seemed appropriate…

Everyone knows that inhaling any kind of smoke is bad for you. Common sense really. But I can recall some pot-proponents saying that marijuana is nowhere near as bad as tobacco cigarettes, and furthermore, since you don’t smoke it like cigarettes you’re totally safe.

How’s that for news you aren’t hearing? But it’s absolutely true. Sure, Hillary did win the Nevada popular vote over Obama, 51%-45%. However - Obama won Nevada. Thanks to a quirk of math, Obama took home 13 NV delegates, and Hillary only got 12. Last time something like this happened, it went all the way […]

Hillary Clinton will win Michigan by a landslide. You can take that one to the bank.
What you can also take to the bank is that it won’t affect her delegate total at all. Currently, she leads Obama 183-78. And after Michigan it will be the same. And as for her “shocking” victory in New Hampshire, […]

Obama won the Iowa caucus, which brought him slightly closer to catching Hillary for the Democrat nomination.
Wait, what? Catch Hillary? Yeah. Once again, the media is blowing Iowa WAY out of proportion and completely ignoring how the nomination process works. First off - Obama’s win wasn’t as huge as the media would like you to […]

It was supposed to be here last night, but as yet, nothing. Los Angeles is in a tizzy though - 3 or 4 days of rain? Unpossible! Inconceivable! Well, it IS coming…here’s what it looks like:
That’s a little unsettling.
