The morning after.
Okay, so you pulled threw with Indiana, but you were blown out of the water in North Carolina. And now, this morning, you say you will not back down and have put 6 million dollars of your own money into your campaign. Adding the 5 million you already put in, that makes 11 million dollars of your money that you have put into your campaign. That would be like repainting the Titanic after it already struck the Iceburg. You know what I could do with 11 million dollars? I would but the copyright to Mr. Potato Head, and produce Andy Green Mr. Potato Heads. Barack Obama is barely worth 1 million dollars, and you have the balls to call him an elitist.
You have already passed your mark to back down with grace. You have started a schism within the party that will need from now until to November to heal.
What I find funny, is that you sent your little carrot, Bill, into North Carolina to even shake hands with the voters going to the polls, and you still lost by almost twenty percent. You are now almost to the point where the Superdelegates can't even save you.
Now where is John McCain during all of this. He is giving speeches and gathering support like a Presidential Canidate. Trying to prove he is the best one for Republicans. You have Republicans voting for you so that John McCain has a better chance in November. If that is not a reason to drop out, I don't know what else is.
Talk to you soon

An Open Letter to Hillary Clinton
Hi. I don't know if you remember me, but we met at an event in Clinton, Iowa. You took a photo with my Mr. Potato Head. Anyway...
Today is a big day for you. Indiana and North Carolina are both going to the polls to try and deciede between you and Sen. Obama. So far, Sen. Obama is ahead in the polls and you have been trying to close the gap. The problem is, is that Indiana and North Carolina are not on the list of the states that you have labeled the "Big States" that you want to be President of. Hillary Clinton, President of the Big States. Growing up in Iowa, I have not been priveledged to grow up in a big state, and according to you, don't know what I'm doing when it comes to politics. Yet, you and your competitors spent a year here campaigning. We mattered to you until you came in third.
I just have a couple things I would like to address with you. First, and I think everyone wants to know, after the Texas/Ohio primaries you were told that it was not possible for you to get the nomination even if you were to win the rest of the states and have Michigan and Florida reinstated. Now, John Edwards knew when it was he time to back out and help the party. Even Mitt Romney knew when to back out to help his party. They both still had a little bit of a chance when they backed out. You have been told there is no way, and yet you have stayed in, with noticeible divide in the party. You have made viscious attacks agaist Sen. Obama and have played McCain's game for him. In an election the Republicans have handed you, you have turned that around. Now you make up some BS excuse about how you want the people to vote and state their opinion. Yet, you know that in the long run, it will still come out that more people want Sen. Obama to be President.
One of my biggest problems with your campaign is the insistance that the delegates from Michigan and Florida need to be reinstated. First of all, you didn't follow the rules and put your name on the ballot when none of the other canidates would. Now you have put up a big fuss about how they need to count, and you know that if the tables were turned you would be against it. And now every time you release a delegate count or vote count you include those votes, and you are the only people that do. You need to lay off of it and actually follow the rules. I'm sorry, but the rules do apply to the Clinton family.
This is only the first letter Mrs. Clinton. More are going to follow.

LOST-5/2 Something Nice Back Home
I wrote a synapses for this episode, but it got erased and I am too lazy to write another one. Basically Jack had his appendix taken out by Juliet and Bernard. Charlotte knows Korean, and Faraday likes her. The mercenaries survived the smoke monster and are leaving the island. Claire wakes up in the middle of the night and finds Christian holding Aaron. In the future, Jack and Kate are living together and are engaged. Jack sees Christian at the Hospital. Hurley continues to get visits from Charlie.
Some things I noticed:
Some things I noticed:
- The smoke detector went off when Christian came. Could he be the smoke monster
- Does Jack have and appendix scar in the future?
- Does Jack know Aaron is his nephew? He told Kate that Aaron wasn't even related to her.

IRON MAN
There has been a surge of superhero films lately. There have been good ones,(SpiderMan, X2, Batman Begins.) But there have been way too many bad ones,(SpiderMan 3, Fantastic Four 2, Daredevil, the list goes on and on.) But now there is a movie that tops them all, IRON MAN.
Robert Downey Jr. stars as Tony Stark, a billionaire playboy industrialist who majors in weapons manufactoring. Downey does an amazing job as Stark. Recently in the comics, Stark has become a jerk and government lackey. Downey brings Stark back to his playboy pretty boy self who has a sarcastic remark for everything.
Gwyneth Paltrow plays Pepper Potts, Starks assisstant and mild love interest. Paltrow does okay as the damsel in distress who is at the right place at the right time. Terrence Howard plays Jim Rhodes who in the comics becomes War Machine. Howard does a great job as Stark's number two and his only real friend. Rhodes did not have as much airtime as I would have liked, but Howard did the best with it. Jeff Bridges played the films villlain, the Iron Monger. Bridges was wickedly evil, but I could only see him as the Dude. John Faverau cameos as Happy Hogan, and Jarvis, Stark's Alfred-esque butler, is portrayed as an omnipresent robot.
The films action was awesome and not full of crappy CGI like most action movies. And the levels of story and action were a perfect even. And of course the film set up a sequel. The Mandarin was hinted at, and Rhodes with the Mach II armor laid the steps for War Machine.
This was one of the best superhero/action movies I have seen, and it would not have been that way without Downey. Everyone should see this.
