For some reason, hearing that Sen. Clinton loaned her campaign 5 mil (whether true or just to fool her supporters into donating, see how you can't even trust that she's telling the truth about that?) spurred me to donate to a political campaign for the first time ever.
So I sent a few bucks to Barack.
I'd been real suspicious of the initial 'rock star' media circus and waited a while before deciding who to get behind. More than anything I think the word integrity describes why I went black.
Self financing, crocodile tears, Clinton resembles less a Senator than a rich privileged High School student council candidate being denied what she feels has always been her birthright, pouting and complaining to her friends that everyone's voting for the new guy from somewhere else instead.
P.S. see also the Michigan and Florida primaries where all Dems agreed to not campaign in those states because the DNC was going to refuse their delegates because they moved them up so early. Seems ol' Hill couldn't find the time or energy to remove her name from the ballot like nearly everyone else (oops). Look for a repeat of Florida lawyerthon 2000 if they are tied going into the convention.

The Lance effect
I have, from personal experience and otherwise, been of the opinion that all persons named Lance are in fact, dicks.
You can call 'em douchebags, pricks you name it, you know what I mean.
Of course this begs to ask, what about our City/State/National hero Armstrong?
I'd always suspected anyone that determined, (not at all for personal growth but to make sure every last teenage cycling enthusiast just gives up hopes of ever winning the tour de france as many times since when again will a decent enough athlete get a similar case of cancer which lets doctors cut away pounds of heavy flesh giving a significant weight advantage and heck why not give the finger to any sense of tradition or sportsmanship and win the fucker just once more so I can be remembered long after my massive ego swallows our entire solar system) and named Lance, well he'd have to be...you know?
Finally I can rest assured that my suspicions were genuine.
Given that I am to much hypocrisy, I'll probably realize I have a long lost friend with that name or was Ghandi's nickname.
