Okay, I'm calling it

All right. With the Michigan/Florida primaries all but dead (caucuses not impossible but also certainly not sought), with Bill Richardson endorsing Barack Obama, with the only thing standing between Obama and the Democratic nomination being a superdelegate uprising that would mean the end of the Democratic party, it's over. Clinton can claim neither a lead in delegates nor votes and thus has no claim to the nomination. Let's find something else for the next few dozen news cycles to digest.

Had a delightfully distasteful encounter with a grandmother and her two grand-ham-babies at Volde-Mart the other day. Of course they were acting like belligerent shrill monkeys on quantum crack, pawing at everything in the impulse-shopping lanes, and Gramma was being typically permissive about their ook-ook-ack-ack-acking. But if they ever did happen to babble anything halfway amusing -- and from all their babbling, it was just the law of averages kicking in -- oh, she looked around to see if anyone heard how clever the little fleshlings were. Sorry. Not interested in your beautiful and unique little snowflakes. Just take a healthy dose of Vitamin STFU and keep moving.

...I didn't think those two paragraphs would initially be so thematically similar. Hrm.

I think I am at the point that I won't believe Obama is the nominee until the day of the convention.

Even if the math is impossible, and there is no way Hillary could possibly win (which is where we are, or close to), I still will not be convinced that somehow she won't somehow become the nominee.
