“Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule - and both commonly succeed, and are right.” ~H.L. Mencken, 1956

Well, I suppose my time of silliness is finished. American Idol is over, and I can’t stand So You Think You Can Dance. That means I actually have to pay attention to the news, and that also means you all get to read my political rants.

I don’t have a rant now, though. I’m just stopping in to let you know the latest little tidbit. The New York Times is reporting that Obama claimed the Democratic Nomination tonight. At the time of this post Clinton has not withdrew herself from running. However, since Obama is over the threshold of needed delegates, I imagine that she soon will. (Hell what do I know, I’m just a hag who sits and writes blogs at midnight with a Miller Lite in hand.)

So that, my dear readers, brings us up to date. You can look forward to my bitching as we proceed to November.

Until next time, Do I really really have to start reading the news again?
