Um, he really is fucking old an uninformed. Women are a majority of college students, soon to be a supermajority. Not only do women attend college in higher numbers, but they graduate in higher numbers as well.

No? That was a very creepy episode.

http://www.gallup.com/poll/106801/Gallup-Daily-Democratic-Gap-Narrows-Obama-Keeps-Advantage.aspx

Remember: do not look. This is not news!!

2. Also not news, not to be looked at:

New Rev. Wright comments that Obama is a politician who says what a politician has to say.

This is most def. not news as it woudl confirm what I've said all along: duh, he's a pol, who says what he has to say for tactical gains in whatever circumstances he's in -- just like HRC!!

Remember: this is NOT news, DO NOT look it up on google or talk about it here, even though it dominated the MSNBC talk for about 4 hours yesterday.

4. Oh Rev. Wright also said he himself never talked politics with Obama -- wow. He never talked politics with the United States Senator and presidential candidate sitting in his pew? Whom he's known for 20 years and who gave his church about $25 K last year?

Obviously being a pastor has an element of being a politican, too.

4. Also not news, do not discuss or look up:
NC GOP's Wright TV ad blasting Obama.
This canbe talked about to condemn this "dirty" politicking, to condemn McCain for not stopping it, and most of all to condemn HRC for staying silent on it. What a racist bitch!! She won't help Obama that proves she's actually out for herself in this race -- and not for him!!!

But talking about it as relating to his electability -- that would not be news. Talking about how running ads like this for the next 7.5 months could hurt him -- that is not news.

5. Heard on tV that Wright now plans a big speaking tour this week including the national press club and stuff like that. This is not news either. Nor is it news that Obama has no control over this idiot Wright who now seems to be intent on hurting Obama as much as possible by keeping his views and face in the news.

At least Bill Dawg has beeen restricted to tiny towns more than two hours from a major airport to keep him out of the news!

6. Obama's been complaining that news reporters accusing him of being elite aren't using the little accent grave over the e in elite.
Good point! As HArvard Law Review editor he was in charge of little things like that, so it's good to know he will produce change in making us spell words according to their foreign roots. Espcially French words! C'est tres elite et marveilleuse or something! La plus ca change....

7. No 6 above -- I said that just cuz that was something I felt had to say.
It has a lot of truthiness to it. Just liek what Wright and Obama and HRC say !!

Don't we already do that? Except instead of ensuring a good harvest we ensure that shlubby plebs feel better about themselves via schadenfreude?

Good luck with those tolls Seattle! Let's hope you don't sell us out to a Spanish toll collection company where all the money goes to Spain for the next 50 years, like they did in Texas. I predict some tar and feathers in our future.
