The Hoosiers ended up making it a real nailbiter, as Sen. Clinton won Indiana by a slim margin, while Sen. Obama carried North Carolina by a solid 14 points. This will result in a net gain of about 10 delegates for Obama, but more importantly, reduces Hillary’s nomination chances to, at least according to Slate, 4.2 percent. The media’s calls for a Clinton withdrawal have reached deafening levels, with disreputable pundits ranging from Tim Russert to Matt Drudge declaring Obama “The Nominee.” Meanwhile, this morning’s reports reveal Hillary has loaned herself an additional $6.4 million - just enough to buy each undeclared superdelegate a really nice wine and cheese basket.
Dimitri Medvedev, the new Russian President, was sworn in yesterday and immediately appointed Vladimir Putin his prime minister. No matter how many times I try, Medvedev’s name is not a palindrome.
Feds conducted a massive drug bust at San Diego State University, arresting 96 people, 75 of them students. The highlight of the raid? One of the arrested students was weeks away from receiving a Masters in Homeland Security. Tom Ridge would be so proud!
And I hate to end on a terribly tragic note, so no Myanmar news today. Instead, let’s celebrate: the Police announced their final show. When asked about future plans, Sting declined comment, as he working through the first leg of a three day long tantric sex session.
