It's on the same block one street East.

I just saw that - wow. Wanna go to Cafe Hon and listen to the gossip?

But if you blow up the universe, how will you rewatch Torchwood tonight?

...can I just set most of fandom on fire, then?

Plus, there's a new episode of that Supernatural thing.

Something I would probably enjoy more if not for fandom.

Of course! You never need my permission for that.

The Giuliani Campaign Spent at Least $142.83 For Each Vote: [link]

Free lunch today is Quiznos. I think this means I'm going to destroy the universe after all, although I'll revisit the situation after I finish these salt & vinegar potato chips.

Hey, there are some Lulu Eightball fans here, yes? She has another book coming out!

Woot!!!

I think anyone who thinks they know whether Hillary or Obama is the more electable is wrong. People may be stupid, but they are not predictable on stuff like that. Whoever wins in 2008, it won't be on the issues. The single largest predictor of how people votes is party registration (around 38% of votes are cast on that basis). According to surveys about 6% of votes are based on candidates positions on the issues. The rest are on really fuzzy hard to determine things, like "leadership", "people like us" "character" and so on.

And given that who does the best campaigning (along with media bias) plays a large role in determining people's views of such fuzzy things, not really easy to predict. So I would not have the Meta discussion as to who is the better campaigner. Both Clinto and Obama have really good campaign skills. They both have differing styles, and don't think you can predict easily which will work better. They both have pluses and minuses as far as personality. I don't think you can predict which will play better or worse. And as far as media bias: the media will play the Muslim, not-really-black-but-black-enough-to be scary card against Obama. They will play the over-emotional castrating bitch card against Hillary. The will portray the Republican candidate as Saint McCain against the evil Hillary or Obama. So slanders and invocation of racism and sexism will have to be overcome by either candidate, and I would hate to try to predict which can do better.

Both Obama and Hillary have records on issues and public positions they have taken during the campaign - including proposal on their web sites. Obviously we are Buffistas and will talk about what we talk about. But I think the discussion will be both more productive and more fun if we talk about who will make the better President rather than who will make the better candidate. Cause there is real evidence for taking positions on the former,not so much for taking positions on the latter.
