R.I.P. guy who invented the transistor (Morgan Sparks): [link]
I'd say the transistor is the most important invention of the last 100 years (if you consider the transistor made possible the integrated circuit and the modern computer).
You all gonna be here when I wake up?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy bday, GC!
Earlier, I walked by two men in my office meeting about something, and made sure to note it in my head -- two men! talking! (In our office of ~30, there are 4 men.)

I'm way behind in Movies, so I don't know if this has been posted: Ironman meets Batman (Video a la those I'm a PC/I'm a Mac commercials.)

Matt Drudge (who has good sources in the Clinton campaign) has called the whole primary campaign for Obama. He also says the Clintons have canceled all TV appearances this morning.

eta: Russert has also called it for Obama.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

(I can't believe I'm linking to Drudge.)
And I can't believe I'm clicking. Then again, the fact that he's a major source for the Clinton campaign has been a freaky red flag all along.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Yeah, the cancelled appearances make it seem like something may finally be sinking in. And it only took two months for the campaign - and the media - to catch on1

Matt Drudge (who has good sources in the Clinton campaign) has called the whole primary campaign for Obama. He also says the Clintons have canceled all TV appearances this morning.
I'm listening to Diane Rehm, and all the commentators are saying that Clinton will drop out soon.
I voted for Clinton in the primary, and I think she'd make a better president than Obama. That said, I like Obama, and as soon as the nomination is official, I'm signing up for his campaign. I said after the 2004 debacle that I'd campaign for whoever got the Democratic nomination in 2008, and I stand by that. I can't handle 4 more years of what we've had for the past 8.
More to the point, I don't think the country can.
(And when Clinton drops out, I think I'm going to cry a little, because it wasn't too long ago that I was sure -- could practically *see* it -- that we'd have a woman president.)
Also? This is going to be the ugliest, and probably most violent, presidential campaign this country has ever seen.
