He's some idiot who's saying that in 1999, he and Barack Obama enjoyed cocaine and gay sex together. He had a press conference today at the National Press Club.

First off, he acknowledged his 27-year long record of committing fraud and petty crimes. Then his disbarred lawyer showed up wearing a kilt, because pants were too uncomfortable for people as well-endowed as he is.

No one took Sinclair seriously, and immediately after the conference, he was arrested by the Washington police as a fugitive from justice.

This is the most hilarious possible ending to this lunatic's crusade.

Here's a clip from the conference:

I found these two articles today that give a pretty thorough non-partisan analysis of the health care plans of Barack Obama and John McCain. Definitely worth a read.

John McCain's plan

Barack Obama's plan

The rest of the site is pretty interesting, too, including this article about the PBS special Sick Around the World.

Or is it?

This weekend, we will have the Primary in Puerto Rico, the Rules and Bylaws Committee meeting on Michigan and Florida, then on Tuesday, the final primary in Montana and the final caucus in South Dakota.

Then...nothing. The next real event is the convention at the end of August (25th-28th).

It seems unlikely that Hillary will come out on top. My concern is that there will be enough ambiguity that she's going to fight to the convention after all.

I think the two main sources of unknown are:

1. How decisive will Obama's win be?
2. Will Hillary drop out if Obama hits the magic number of delegates, or will she cling to the "supers can change their mind" and fight it out?

So I ask the other politicos out there, is the end in sight, or is this going to the convention after all?

So I need a privileged member to help me share this video. Unfortunately, embedding from Adult Swim is limited because it isn't on the approved source list, but the clip is hilarious and very topical to the whole "talking heads" political media culture. This is just too good to not be on the Sift.

Suggestions not limited to US citizens!!

So tax-payers in the United States are getting money back from the government to go out and stimulate the economy. I'm not all that sure which taxpayers are getting this money, but you probably have to be a legal resident, or maybe they've gotten that desperate for shoppers...

So, I guess the economy is our problem to remedy now.

We aren't supposed to save this money, or should I say, 'conserve' it...

So watcha gonna do?

And remember, Costco limits you to no more than four - 20lb. bags of rice at a time, makes it hard to stockpile...

I'm thinking now's the time to invest in 14K gold jewelry. But that's just me...

I know that racism is a big issue for the election this year, and my understanding of U. S. politics is really incomplete, but from the New York Times election guide for the Democrat standings it appears that even after West Virginia, a big hurdle for Barack supporters that he is STILL WINNING. If this isn't the case please explain.

Did someone say double-standard?

Apparently it's not OK for a Republican Pastor of the Christian faith to campaign toward Christians (even when it's a paranoid delusion based on a bookshelf), but it's fine for a Democrat, blatantly. CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE

Kindly stop looking down your nose at republicans. You do it too.
