Yes!

So, Obama managed to beat expectations, and he managed to do it when it counted. Big win in NC, IN looks like a loss, but heavily-Black Gary could make things interesting when it finally reports in. In any event, the media and the blogosphere are sounding like this is game over, including this entreaty by Kos for Clinton to stay in the race--at least until West Virginia, so as to spare Obama an embarrassing loss after having clenched the nomination. Shows you, well, something. Here's hoping it's not misplaced bravado.

Oh, and this is pretty hilarious as well. Clinton 2008: All we've got is this gas tax thing.

Problem: I have lots of opinions on politics and culture that I need to vent. If I do not do this I will wind up muttering to myself, and that's only like one or two steps away from being a hobo. Solution: I write two blogs. A political blog that has some evident sympathies (pro-Obama, mostly liberal though I dissent on some issues, like guns and trade) and a culture blog that does, well, cultural essays in a more long-form manner. My particular thing is taking overrated things (movies, mostly, but other things too) down a peg and putting underrated things up a peg. I'm sort of the court of last resort, and I tend to focus on more obscure cultural phenomena.
