OK, so I didn't register and I didn't run. It was still a great time to be in Boston! But now that we're back, there's work to do. http://www.salon.com/comics/tomo/2008/04/21/tomo/ Whew!

I'm tired of the shouting heads on MSNBC trying to explain the nuances of the PA primary. I'm particularly tired of Pat Buchanon's falsetto spinning everything political as an advantage for conservatives. Hell, I'm just tire. Goodnight.

Obama's mother and I were born in the same year. Get this week's TIME if you don't already have it. Don't fret, Chris. It has to do with the fact that the Enlightenment sort of didn't make it past the founders. But Obama could bring about its reappearance in Washington. He represents an urge in American society, especially among younger Americans, that is larger than just him. Hard to believe Paul Krugman misinterpreted its nature and significance so badly, and that Bill Clinton has apparently forgotten. Hillary will return to her Enlightenment phase if she becomes president. She and Bill tried when they were in the White House. Remember when they hosted Stephen Hawking? John McCain might or might not know what the Enlightenment was all about. His family was more into celebrating war and the exploits of his grandfather in the Phillipines. Wonder if McCain ever read any of the poetry or literature from the period relative to that colonial enterprise. And back at 'cha, Acronym Jim. Happy Earth Day has a really nice ring to it.

That would make me about 2 decades older than dirt. Do I have a witness Boomer? Jim, Earth Day is not such a good yardstick to measure age. That would make me about 2 decades older than dirt.

Walk, bike, or take mass transit if you can. Plant a tree, buy biodegradable, fill in a hole. A good friend of mine was born the day after Earth Day so he refers to his age as one day younger than dirt. Happy Earth Day all. Walk, bike, or take mass transit if you can.

Today, I shifted 2% in his direction, so my brain is now Obama-owned 51%, with only 49% left for Clinton. Please don't tell my daughter. The problem is, historically, my vote shifting seems to have the oracular precision of a dead canary. With a very few exceptions the candidate I switch to is pretty much doomed. And, generally, quickly. I wouldn't expect concession speeches tomorrow night, but still... Obama fans, I’m so sorry.
