As predicted, Hillary took Kentucky while Barack took Oregon. About the only interesting thing is the MSM is screaming about how Hill took Kentucky in a landslide 65%-30%, but according to the New York Times interactive graphic on their website, Barack took Oregon 68%-31%. Now, I’ll be the first to admit I suck at math, but even I can tell that means Barack took Oregon by two more points than Hillary took Kentucky. WTF?

Looking over the results this morning, I was struck by the thought that all three candidates are lying to us by pretending this is a three way race still. The only person who can reasonably believe that is Clinton, with the hope that Obama has a ‘macaca’ moment that implodes his campaign.  This is the only chance she has of winning the nomination, and with the worshipful attitude the MSM has adopted toward Obama so far, it would be interesting to see how much bending the MSM would do before something became a ’scandal’.

I thought Barrack’s comments about Hillary were very nice, especially when contrasted with Bill’s accusations of sexism.  I’m not sure Bill should be allowed to use that word, it makes too many people giggle uncontrollably.

It’s sad to see Mr. Straight-Talk start talking at an angle.  His pandering to the Cuban population in South Florida about the Cuba Embargo is at odds with his position in 2000.  Yes, they’re one of the most important voting blocks in one of the most important states, but there has to be a more honest way to earn their votes, like pimping out his daughter.

Did ya miss me?  No?  I don’t blame you.

But big things have been happening at Ontheblob etc.  We’re officially a webgroup (as least in my mind) having spun off PaperBagNinja.com & now Greenpunk.org.  PBN is familiar to regular readers, but Greenpunk.org is, as far as I can tell, a completely unique enterprise.  Greenpunk is related to the genres of cyberpunk and steampunk, but instead of exploring worlds that never were or hopefully will never be, greenpunk is about taking today’s world and saving it from the impending ecological disaster through human creativity.  Part 1 is up, go take a look.

I have the first probably third of Notserfuratu posted under Library at OntheBlob.net. Geeks and vampires, never the twain shall meet. Until now.

In the next few days I will write a post designed to anger and annoy. It’s too early in the morning now to percolate the thoughts properly.

Welcome to my vanity project.

Given the breadth of the Internet today, it is the height of hubris to believe that any new website will get noticed, much less become successful. And even if a site catches the imagination of the public, our genetic attention span seems better suited to the latest celebrity trainwreck than long term interests.

So, how am I going to maintain the interest of you, my gentle reader?

I’m going to give entertain you, amuse you, give you quality content you won’t find anywhere else, and I’m going to piss you off.

Sorry, that last line should have read: I’m going to ask you to think.

And I challenge you to do the same for me. Post your comments below. While you can say what you want, I reserve the right to delete posts I feel are deleterious to the flow of ideas.

The Web is a rough place, and if you can’t hold your own, you should play somewhere else. But this does not mean we need abandon all decorum. Therefore, some ground rules: 1) Flamewars only illuminate a person’s ignorance and immaturity; 2) Feed a cold, starve a Troll; 3) Remember, your grandmother may read this.

Let’s Go!
