Crazy Hillary "Who Cares Anymore?" Update
First she said she would concede on Friday, but now says Saturday.
Someone's becoming
ridiculous!
Except that she sent out an email early Thursday morning apparently conceding the race to
Obama.
Robert L. Johnson, founder of Black Entertainment Television, says that Hillary wants to be
Obama's Veep. So, OK, but my question is when did we get segregated television?
The growing consensus is that Hillary's failure to concede on Tuesday night was ungracious and classless, and has diminished her support for the
vp spot.

Harlem Representative told HRC it's over.
On the
tv news,
CNN's Robin Meade (not a Brainy Chick candidate) reported this morning that significant numbers of Clinton supporters, mostly older women, are still really mad at
Obama and are refusing to support him. These supporters, known as Hillary's Angry Gals, or
HAG's, ranted for the cameras,
a la Harriet Christian, and promised to vote for John McCain, whom one HAG described as "dreamy."
Dreamy like a glass of warm milk
Speaking of John McCain, have you ever noticed how really, really white he is? He's white all right. It's like his skin has no melanin at all. His hair as well. Call me crazy, but isn't that an established indicator of Parkinson's or Alzheimer's disease? Something about losing the
neuromelanin producing neurons in our brains.
As for Obama . . . not so white.

"IDT explained that the rise in year-over-year revenues was due to a change in revenue recognition accounting that took place in the first quarter of 2008."
Can anybody do this? It sounds like something from a midnight infomercial.

German Words That Keep Popping UpSchadenfreude - enjoyment obtained from the troubles of others
Zeitgeist - the general intellectual, moral, and cultural climate of an era
Gestalt - a structure, configuration, or pattern of physical, biological, or psychological phenomena so integrated as to constitute a functional unit with properties not derivable by summation of its parts (
hah! did you get all that?) Really what people mean here is the "
gestalt effect" where you can recognize something from your overall perception of it, as opposed to seeing a particular, identifying piece of it. An example is how one's mother is recognizable from behind when fully covered in hat and coat, while walking away at a significant distance. She is recognized by her whole shape, form, motion, movements and
rhythm. But it is hard for one to explain exactly what they recognized about the mother. You don't actually have to see the hairy mole on her chin. One just knows one's mother.
