Obama secured this country’s chief domestic priority for 2008: denying Sen. Hillary Clinton the presidency. Obama has earned the eternal gratitude of millions of relieved Americans who understand how calamitous a Hillary Clinton administration would have been.

Despite her clear victory in Pennsylvania’s Democratic primary, opinion polls suggest that Hilary Clinton will lose forthcoming primaries in North Carolina and Oregon, effectively crowning Barack Obama the Democratic Party’s Presidential nominee. Clinton’s solution? Break with the Democrats, and run as an independent candidate, or so EIN News reported her advisors leaking to the press today.
Such a move would be a serious gamble for Clinton, who, in leaving the Democratic Party, may very well destroy any chances a party other than the Republicans would have in winning the next Presidential election.

So, I guess yesterday was “Earth Day.” What exactly that’s supposed to mean, and what you’re supposed to do on Earth Day that’s different from any other day is a mystery to me. As Lugosi points out, though, it’s a pretty decent reason to watch this clip of Carl Sagan waxing philosophical about the Earth.
Her fictions about dodging bullets on the tarmac — and we have to hope they were lies, because if they weren’t, if she thought what she was saying was true, we are in worse trouble than we thought — either confirmed what you already knew (she lies as a matter of strategy, or, as William Safire said in 1996, by nature) or revealed in an unforgettable way (videotape! Smiling girl in pigtails offering flowers!) what you feared (that she lies more than is humanly usual, even politically usual).
