An ad for something I don't remember said of a spelling bee, in passing as the bee was going on in the background and the ad wasn't for literacy, "...like words you don't need to use anymore" of a four syllable word "ambrosia." That celebrates pig ignorance, encourages pride in stupidity. The ad was, I *think, for food Fast food. Non-GMO poison. Utterly non-nutritious (oh my, another 3-1/2 to 4 syllable word) crap that people use to fill their guts that they don't have to learn how to prepare for themselves. Crap that costs them more than twice what it would if they made it from scratch. Bad nutrition. A veritable (that's four syllables, folks) PAEAN - hymn of praise, not to a deity but to a word, "food". IOW, it's not only a "word you don't need to use anymore" but also ::gasp!:: heresy.

The point I'm hoping to make here is that both parties suck, hardly anybody likes them, and it's mind-boggling that somebody put up by organizations that are so disliked will be elected President and that we pretty much have no say in the matter.

Dems and Repubs are both minorities

PPB (Political People Blog) has a new article out detailing the work of Julian Blair, a statistician and economist from the University of New South Wales in Australia who has been closely monitoring the race here.

Statistical Analyst : Bernie Sanders Will All of The Remaining States Except Two

The key argument Blair makes to PPB is:

After a pleasant conversation with my brother, who is lefter than Bernie!--I thought about: why is the electorate so angry in 2016. So a Google search for answers was only partly rewarding.

Honestly, I was spoiled by the result in Michigan. I actually, factually thought that Illinois would be berning up the polls yesterday. Pity that he only closed a 23 point gap by 21 points. (which is still a heck of an accomplishment.) Losing to her in her home state? By such much? It makes me wonder what would have happened after another week, given the trend lines.

We have hear plenty from those who say this is all over and Sanders cannot win. I will have more to say about that in a few days, but:

Per RealClearPolitics Clinton has a 205 pledged delegate lead.

No. No we’re not. I’m enjoying your joy. But I am aghast at the “in your face!” comments and the “in your face Markos!” diaries. It reinforces my fears that if Ms. Clinton wins that a good number of Sanders supporters will bail during the general. In fact, in the last 24 hours I’ve seen the worst kos diary I’ve ever seen in my 12 years here. And spare me the “but both sides do it” replies.
