Hil WTF? and Thumbs

I absolutely utterly completely don’t get it.

Not a bit.

After the Indiana and the North Carolina primaries – people who like doing things like this did the math and they all came up the with the same answer – Barack’s got the nod wrapped up. It was a moment where the pundits and indeed people who I normally respect suggested that Hilary would probably wait until after the morale boosting win in West Virginia and the quietly bow out.

At first it looked that way – but now – Hil has pretty much jumped the rails and is publicly saying she is going to carry on the fight until August and well it’s just mind boggling.

Currently she is banging about Florida trying to convince people, and I think, herself that the Florida Delegates should be seated and the struggle to is akin to the one to abolish slavery, woman’s suffrage, Apartide and the struggle with Men’s stores that have only pleated pants.

We interrupt this rant with some breaking news:

“Gordon Ramsay eats thumb of Hell's Kitchen contestant
Food – Celebrity chef and foodie firebrand Gordon Ramsay has reportedly eaten the thumb of a contestant on his reality tv show. British tabloid The Sun reports Hell's Kitchen contestant Matt, 35, accidentally cut off the tip of his thumb while preparing pancetta stuffing for a quail.”

I don’t know but I think it you could work that into a show.

“Cooking with Hannibal the Cannibal – it starts with 20 contestants and as each lose they leave the show and Hannibal eats a body part.”

Return to rant.

Anyway with Hil – I don’t get it. She can’t win this fight. As best I can understand it is that once the MI and FL delegations are seated – this combined with the new math attempt to give Hill the majority of the popular vote is supposed to cause the super delegates to sweep to Hillary’s said and make her the candidate.

Again the bitterness that this scenario would generate would tear the party apart and leave long term damage and as I have written more than once – Hillary would have to spend the rest of the campaign trying to heal the wounds in the party rather than campaigning for president – ensuring a McCain win.

The other idea passed about on the web is that Hillary is trying to destroy Obama’s ability to win the election – ensuring a McCain win – and then in 2012 when McCain is too old to run again.

Right like she’ll get the nod in 2012 after torpedoing Obama? I think they would rather nominate John Kerry again.

So is she trying to get the VP slot? If so this is heck of a way to go about it. Threaten to destroy the party?

I just don’t get it.

Meantime – this news might put a crimp in your weekend plans – the Mexican Army just seized a metric ton and a half of grass – in one truck. Yeesh.

Anyway I’m looking to get out of here. Have a good memorial day.
Peace Love don’t eat anybody’s thumb
