...this ever-so-special year, every vote in Denver will count. As of today, Barack Obama has won 986 delegates, and Hillary Clinton 924, according to CNN. If Virginia, Ohio, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Indiana vote as expected over the coming months, the margin will remain razor-thin and the nomination could be decided by how superdelegates vote. Democrats might even have a Bush-Gore disaster on their hands: Obama could win more regular delegates than Clinton, but because of Clinton’s close connections with superdelegates, she could win the nomination anyway...
...Brother is not only watching you; in Barking and Dagenham, Big Brother wants a word. The disembodied voices of authority offering advice and warnings that now issue as if from thin air in the hardscrabble east London borough are, in fact, talking CCTV cameras - the latest high-tech weapon in the war on littering, graffiti, vandalism and other antisocial behavior. Sixteen of the borough's 84 surveillance cameras have been wired for sound, making London's first video monitoring network with a broadcasting capacity. A second borough, Southwark, will soon adopt the same system...
...that detailed the author’s view of the Christian afterlife.“The Divine Reality Comedy” is perhaps best described as a proselytizing Polyphonic Spree meets political theater. As intriguing as that sounds, the production was an interminable hour and a half of paper-thin commentary on the Bush administration through the means of paper-maché and pantomime.While Bread and Puppet’s intent was perhaps laudable, the case against Bush has been made before, and more compellingly (not to mention more concisely). Although the company attempted an impressive integration of multiple media...
...start looking the part.John McCainJohn McCain is really old. I noticed this pretty much immediately. During the most recent Republican debate, which seemed to take place inside of an airplane hangar, McCain seemed to be suffering from a severe draught. He wheezed, he slumped and generally wrapped his thin little suit around his round little shoulders. I know from experience (actually I do not, but I can imagine) that airplane hangars are extremely draughty. I have read enough Alexander Dumas novels to realize the signs of consumption, and even though it has been erradicated one cannot be too careful. There...
...settled nothing. In a result now achingly familiar to the Democratic Party, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama split the popular vote 50.2% to 49.8%, by a margin so thin, you could barely slide a butterfly ballot betwixt. Tuesday slipped into Wednesday without anyone knowing for sure how many delegates each candidate had captured, as provisional ballots in New Mexico were slowly tabulated by hand...
