David: I'm Usually Pretty Glib About These

But this one actually hurts.

George Carlin has died. The smartest and most talented comic of the past several decades has left the building.

Update:



He would have had fun with that last sentence...

Feels oddly like Safari...

I just wanted to get on the bandwagon.

Sick of shelling out hundreds a month for gas, I am selling my pickup. You may remember me speaking of it before, although that post may have been replaced with a Flash animation...

This morning I picked up a new Honda Civic. I am going from 17 mpg to ~33 (haven't been able to test it against my driving habits yet). At any rate, it's like double the efficiency.

Which means I can fool myself into thinking gas is $2.00 a gallon for awhile.

David: Congratulations DNC, Way to Fuck Up a Primary

The decision of the RBC of the DNC to count and seat Florida and Michigan voting delegations with any vote whatsoever at this point is ridiculous. I understand the motivations for doing so, but they don't matter.

These people told the Democratic voters of both of these states before the election that their votes wouldn't count as their delegates would not be seated. Now, I don't know about the rest of you, but if the party tells me that my vote isn't going to count, I'm not going to go to the polls.

Now they've given Clinton a new metric to run around with, touting that she's the popular vote winner. Of course, when you consider that Obama's name wasn't on the Michigan ballot, it negates the slim margin of popular vote that Clinton has.

The decision to split Michigan delegates as they were (69 Clinton, 59 Obama) is also problematic. The only real option was to do this as a 50/50 split. There's no way that the vote that did happen can be counted as an accurate measure of the will of Democrats in that state.

So, in the end, we have a flip-flopping RBC that makes and takes rules back. If I was a citizen of one of these states, I would be angrier then ever. I would have missed my opportunity to vote for my party's candidate.
