Thoughts and Observations, Pennsylvania Edition

Not only would Pennsylvania be better off is the Amish were in charge, but Florida just might be as well. (Remind me sometime to tell you the story of my Nana buying Amish strawberries in New Port Richey.)

MSNBC’s Norah O’Donnell is more beautiful after two kids than she ever was before.

These NBA playoffs are so good that Bill Simmons could actually forget Suns vs. Lakers in his list of top ten potential series.

That not a single precinct, not one, was able to report anything for more than a half-hour after the polls closed tells you all you need to know about Pennsylvania.

“Too early to call” may just be the most asinine phrase in politics. If you know, call it. If you don’t, it’s because it is too close to call, not too early. Can we all agree on this?

Apparently there are UFO’s in Arizona.

8:49 PM: Hillary Clinton wins. Ugh.

My Mom thinks Celtics’ Renaissance man Kevin Garnett is “not a bad looking guy at all.” Um…let’s just move on.

At 8:58 PM, with 4% in and Hillary enjoying a 57-43 lead, I begin to wonder if John McCain is going to send her champagne.

Alright now, who are these people who honestly believe Obama is unelectable but Hillary somehow isn’t? I have never been happier to be an independent.

9:08 PM: Clinton associate Terry McAuliffe appears for an interview with Matthews and Olbermann. Thanks, I needed to check the score anyway. New Orleans is routing Dallas to the point where that game has been replaced on TNT with bonus coverage of Orlando and Toronto. I’m unsure if this is better or worse than McAuliffe.

I might be a day late and way more than a dollar short with this statement, but Magic big man Dwight Howard is good.

Um, just to warn you, when Brian Urlacher is wearing a Patriot uniform come September 7th I am going to do a victory dance.

And the numbers continue to trickle in. Deep down inside of me in a place I don’t like to think about there does reside just the tiniest sliver of hope that Hillary will successfully steal this nomination. Let her be the one that gets to run a doomed general election campaign amongst the wreckage she and Bill have so carelessly caused.

9:40 PM: The Spurs and the Suns tip off game two in San Antonio. Thank God…I couldn’t take much more.

After the strawberry story, remind me to explain how Obama vs. Clinton 2008 has become Red Sox vs. Yankees circa 2001.

Is it possible the New York Times is turning on the carpetbagger they so eagerly supported in 2000 and endorsed for this nomination? Too little too late from the Empire State.

For all Clinton’s talk about his not being qualified, Obama knows enough to come out to speak right as they went to halftime in San Antonio. You can’t teach that.

He’s talking about it being close but ten points is not in any way close. The Democrats have a problem.

Alright, I’m calling it a night. I officially cannot take anymore of this.

271 more days until we inaugurate John McCain.
