After the hiatus

Ok, I'll try and keep this short, because - even though it's been forever since the last update - I'm supposed to be studying. And given update number 2, I'll have less time for it going forward. So, here, in no particular order, are the updates:

1) For those wondering how the boys are, I offer you some film evidence:
a) The elder

(thanks Conor for the link)
b) The younger


2) Johnny is employed again. No start date yet, pending a background check. Most importantly, I will be able to continue my MBA uninterrupted.

3) While I was happy for Hillary to do well last Tuesday (because I was concerned with the level of arrogance starting to come from the Obama campaign), I am now thoroughly aggravated with her again. Mainly, because it appears that she believes that her "victories" is a justification for the tactics that she's been employing, rather than understanding that her "losses" (which outnumber her victories) is a repudiation of those tactics. And for those of you who don't like Obama, let me offer the following:
a) If Obama were to suggest that Hillary should be the Vice President (which would be more rational, given that he has more delegates), would you consider that to be straight talk, or an effort to marginalize her?
b) Since you were so up in arms about the Obama advisor making comments to the Canadian government about Nafta, how do you feel about Hillary's campaign making a major noise about it (Hillary herself denouncing it), only to have her campaign do the same thing a week later?


So, I'm happy for a tight race because it brings out people and makes everyone focus on the issues, but I really think that a Hillary Clinton administration would be as divisive as a John McCain one, if not more so. And to be honest, the devisiveness (the just plain anger) is the biggest change I've seen in America since we left. And not for the better. The only thing I can think is that some people are just tired of having been on the losing side (as democrats) of this ungracious, bitter, feud and don't want to see the rules changed when its time for their team to take over.

Oh, I also think that Florida should just be counted (I'm not sure that HC's campaign abided by the rules of not campaigning - she just happened to be down there the night of the election?), but it was the Republican governor who moved the dates. Besides, the delegates don't change the distance to the nomination.

Argh. Lots more, but Statistics and Accounting are calling.
