The following image just smacked me in the face when I browsed over to the weight watchers site.
Beware indeed, my friends.

Something is rotten in the state of Florida…
So.
The GOP in the state of Florida decide to move their primaries up ahead of just about everyone else. The Republican party responds by cutting the number of delegates that will be seated in Florida in half. The Democrats tell Florida that if they have their primaries on that day NONE of their delegates will be seated, and they suggest that Democrats caucus at a later date instead. Democrats choose to go ahead with the vote knowing full well that their delegates will not be seated. Hillary wins, but gains no delegates.
Fast forward to now.
Yesterday our Governor, Charlie Christ, started making noise about Florida voters being disenfranchised and insisting that their votes be counted. Chain gang Charlie (who, in the spirit of honest discourse I must say I generally have no real issue with) supported John McCain for President. On Tuesday John McCain clinched the Republican nomination so it doesn’t matter if he gets his full complement of delegates in Florida. It COULD matter, however, on the Democrat side. Florida is an all or nothing state, and Hillary won. With as close as the Democratic primary looks like it is going to be, the Florida votes could very well swing things in her favor.
Many on the conservative right are urging their herds to support Hillary Clinton. People like Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh have even talked about raising money for her. Why? Because they don’t think she has a chance in hell of beating McCain, but they think Obama does. Many Conservatives have said that they would not vote in the general election if McCain was the nominee UNLESS it was an anti-Hillary vote. They hate McCain, but they hate her more.
So…am I the only one who finds it a bit fishy that we’re only seeing Charlie pipe up about this issue NOW?
Don’t get me wrong – I hate the fact that Florida has become a laughingstock for the whole “Republican Voting Conspiracy” thing, but you gotta admit this one at least looks funny on the surface.
Critical Fail
Looking for links to verify it, but word out on the web is that Gary Gygax has died.
Serious bummer.

You know…
It’s a damn shame that Mike Huckabee has that whole religious nutjob thing going for him, because he seems to have a pretty good sense of humor. Examples…

Too bad he’s batshit crazy.
It reminds me of Bob Dole after losing the election in 1996. One of his first post-election interviews was on the David Letterman show. Dave asked him what he’d been up to recently, and Bob replied with “Not enough, apparently.”
I really wish we saw more of this kind of thing in politics. I’m not saying politics should be a big joke (well, ok…it already is). I just wish there was more room for politicians to lighten up and be themselves. Especially after the last 8 years (you know, where every pre-written speech sounds exactly the same as the last one, with the same pauses, inflection, and generally lacking anything even remotely interesting).

I have a real problem with people who act like they are an authority on a subject, to the point of being arrogant about it, who really are just clueless.
Oh, and to explain the post I made yesterday – Last weekend I made the mistake of shaving my head with a razor that had been used one too many times. In doing so I gave myself several kinda nasty gashes on my skull. netgoth says it looks like someone went after my head with a potato peeler. As I do not wish to have any (more) scars on the top of my head, I am doing my absolute best to leave them alone. Throughout the course of the day, though, I touch my head a lot. Scratching, rubbing it while thinking, that kinda thing. When I do this I notice the scabs and how much they itch. I want nothing more than to scratch them like there is no tomorrow, and it’s driving me insane.
Thus, the Jack Torrence post you got yesterday.
Heeeeere’s Johnny.
I have a lot of general life kind of updates to make, but not doing so right this minute. Maybe later.
Gah
I will not pick the scabs on my skull.
