I have now finally settled on a RSS Feed system. If you maintain a blog that is not on livejournal (which I never seem to read anyway), please let me know.

I'm watching the Presidential debates on streaming video.

The moderator just mentioned that analysts suggest that there's a 30% chance that the next president will be faced with a nuclear attack on a US city. Some think the probability is as high as 50%. This just after reminding us that ABC managed to smuggle depleted uranium into the US twice.
That's really sobering.

Further proof that Wyoming doesn't exist: Campaign Spot: Nobody cares about Wyoming Caucus. Wyoming decided to hold their caucus out of turn in a futile effort to matter more to people, and as a result have been given fewer delegates. One website described the Wyoming caucus, in which registered Republicans write their names and preferences on a blackboard and are later quizzed on their choice, as "Rube Goldberg-esque." Not only that, but they're holding off on their "at-large" caucus until May 21, which could ALSO swing to Republican votes. In other words, they're holding their caucus TWICE, once at the beginning, and once at the end, in case it's a close race.
Romney, who promised to restore their penalized delegates if he becomes the nominee, won the state.
Wyoming: They really wish they mattered.
Attacking Other Candidates loses focus group confidence:
Dem-Example 1
Dem-Example 2
Rep-Example 1
Rep-Example 2
On a lighter note, an article with the headline "Study: Monkeys 'pay' for sex by grooming" makes me really sad for the women who date these scientists. Check out some of these quotes:

Gumert found after a male grooms a female, the likelihood that she will engage in sexual activity with the male was about three times more than if the grooming had not occurred.
And as with other commodities, the value of sex is affected by supply and demand factors: A male would spend more time grooming a female if there were fewer females in the vicinity.
...."It is not a rare phenomenon in nature that males have to make some 'mating effort' in order to get a female's 'permission' to mate," Hammerstein said in an interview, likening the effort to a "fee" that the male pays.
