News Roundup: 2/12/08. Pear Shaped Women's Clothes

Evening everyone, I am using my commercial breaks from watching MSNBC's primaries in Virginia, Washington D.C. and Maryland to get this quick post in of some assorted interesting topics. Links provided, as I usually do for you. As far as the primary, right now they are projecting Obama to win Virginia, and the GOP is too close to call based upon exit polls only. I'll let you know more soon.

Stories of a sucky economy...
I wanted to start with this, because Bush is still saying "don't worry". But, apparently, there is plenty more reasons to be skeptical, besides the fact that Bush has yet to make a true statement that is. First, let's look at General motors. They are reporting the largest quarterly loss, EVER. As a result, they are offering buyouts to their union workers.

In the mortgage crisis, which I touch on it seems daily since it has gotten so bad for so many people, Lenders from 6 major companies are now having to work with people. Probably because the crisis has gone beyond the "subprime" lenders, and is now torturing those with good credit too.

Stories of Screwy election systems/People...

What the Hell happened in Washington State that has Huckleberry in a fit? Maybe this will tell you more about it.
Rollins said Huckabee was losing by 242 votes with 87 percent of the vote counted. He said there were 1,500 or so more votes that were apparently not counted.

Now, do I want Huckleberry to win, of course not. I just like how humiliating this split is for the conservatives. Conservatives and "pseudoconservatives" are all over the board over this. Even Karl "Turdblossom" Rove is flip-flopping here.

Personally, I find the recent statements by the Clinton Campaign about considering the "Superdelegates" votes a "sure deal". Now, not picking on Hillary, we Dems have the luxury of good candidates this time around, whoever wins it. But this, disturbs me. It don't feel very "Democratic" to have all the people chose Obama, then have DNC members or party members in the states throw it to Hillary. Republicans Hate her, HATE her. If she wins, their turnout numbers will increase. With Obama, their disillusionment with their own candidates will be their downfall. Hillary even sent her daughter to a 21 year old "super-delegate" who has never voted for a president before. Here is a list (PDF) of the "Superdelegates", for your information. By the way, without these superdelegates, Obama has the lead.

Stories of Middle eastern Crisis...

Well, Gates is putting an end to troop reductions for a while. Seems the progress is dependent upon maintaining a presence in Iraq at around the 130 thousand mark. Yea..."progress" my ass, makes me think of those TV antennas you have to hold just so to get reception, but that's just my wierd mind. Anyways, two CBS reporters have been kidnapped and a search is underway for them. We can hope for the best. Someone else has gone missing. The Pakistani Ambassador to Afghanistan. Ummm, why is that not being talked about. Like anywhere?

Other Disturbing stuff...

The Fisa Immunity bill passed. Can we fire Harry Reid now?

Why is Spain only making clothes for the women with hourglass shapes? What about your pear shaped women?

what about hippo shaped women (i.e. yer own bugg)? we have been ignored by the fashion industry way too long. Now don't get me wrong, I agree that Huckleberry is a bible thumping, hypocritical moron but....ya gotta hand it to him for sticking with it. Not like Romney who cut and ran. I wonder what deal McCain offered him or what piece of blackmail McCain threatened him with because he flew out of the race like his head was on fire and his a-- was catchin'. Something doesn't quite add up there.

Well Obama is 8 and 0 and spoke to an over flow crowd of over 17,000 in Madison, WI...how does one say unstoppable momentum...our state is next! Who ever in the end has the most delegates, will get the supers too, there's no way around it!

Sorry, size 0 is for stick figures and not hour glass. Now we know Miss Anorexia Coulter shops in Spain.

Didn't Spain say they wouldn't allow very thin models on the runways anymore?? Thought they liked 'fuller' women--oh well, square shaped or pear shaped--wait that's a song about diamonds!

Republicans questioning votes?? Oh my.
