US elections

With the final big primaries out of the way, Obama leads Clinton, 1840 to 1684 out of the victory line of 2025. With the Superdelegates, in the main, saying they will vote according to the way the state voted in the Primary elections. It looks like Obama will get the Democratic nod at the Convention. The two primaries of yesterday were good for Obama, but weakens Clinton. Obama, took a commanding lead from North Carolina, with 56% of the vote. Clinton narrowly won in Indiana with 51 to 49% of the vote. Clinton needed a far larger victory margin than 2% to dent Obama's chances. Clintons campaign seems to be running out of steam, and if the superdelegates vote according to state choice then her Presdential bid is over, possible for ever. The only other possible scenerio, I will label the nuclear option is if the superdelegates decide to vote for their own preference. Clinton could still win the nomination, though this would put the Superdelegates into total war with the rank and file of the Democratic party. Would they be willing to open a vast fissure in the party to guarantee Hilary Rodham a victory. I would doubt that this is a sensible option, though you cannot rule it out. For me Obama, is the better candidate, through principle and speaking. Clinton lost, in my eyes, any credibility when she mentioned that she was under sniper fire in the Balkans and then when found out that this isn't true, called it a mis-speak, in other words a downright lie. And then her words regarding the annihilation of Iran
So, I think it will be an Obama and McCain election. Though it will be an interesting development to see who the Vice-presidential candidates will be.

A nice sandwich for dinner

As I made my wife a beautiful pair of rolls for a little snackeroona on Saturday afternoon. I took the nice rolls on a nice plate and led them into the frontroom and gave the plate to my lovely wife, who proceeded to ask why one gammon roll was pink and the other was brown. It was at this point that I felt I had a duty, nay a requirement to educate and That the brown gammon roll was in fact a beef roll. Which does explain that variation in colour, i felt.

My relatives criminal Past....

Image
...Or just bad taste. I say this as we have received a very 'kind' present for the baby. One of our friends , may well be interested in this high art fashion item. I say high fashion as I can think of no other description for it, apart from it being the creation of a criminal mind. Either this or my relative, at one stage of her life, stole them from Liberace's kitchen cabinet! I cannot imagine anybody buying them, so they have to be stolen, surely? It certainly proves that 80+ year olds do technically transcend fashion. Behold the pair of rubber gloves we were given as presents! and if you really do want this zoomed in. Then behold the magnificent Be-jewelled gloves and precious stone (plastic) bound by a gold elastic band. I think you will admit that we are very fortunate to have recieved such a class item. We are also open to offers.

Olympic Vomiting

Tonight, we as parents witnessed, what can only be described as epic Vomit, from our daughter, at dinner. Having been fed her Milk at 3pm, and then a fish meal for her dinner at just after 4pm, an average day for her. Then one cough later, and she has been coughing throughout the day, out came this kind of milky green liquid vomit. It didn't dribble it, it came out like water from a fireman's hose. And I would not have been surprised if it could have been high pressure and directional, fortunately the direction in which I happily call the green river of fish and milk, flew straight into the her lipped plastic bib, just below the lip itself. A perfect fill so to speak. It reminded me of my friend Glen, who many years ago now, on a night out, downed a pint of beer in one and then proceeded to insert an exact pint of vomit back into said pint glass, the perfect pint. Astonishing at the time.
