nothing like the wonderful time...

...when the news organizations are the ones inventing the news to the point they can't even keep their stories straight.

• AP "calls" it for Obama as of today's delegate allocation, acting on the assumption that he'll be getting most of the uncommitted delegates (those appointed for other candidates from primaries earlier in the race that have since dropped out) as well as enough super-delegates
• AP says Hillary's camp has made motions to concede
• Reuters reports that Hillary's camp insists she is NOT going to concede
• Even since that report, AP continues to report only their version of the story
• vast majority of the public are so sick of this they really don't give a shit anymore
  
• neither news organization is making any mention of the fact from the previous line

Your fifth bullet point kinda sums it all up best. *grin*

They press is just sore. A year ago they were confidently predicting a Hillary-versus-Rudy summer extravaganza. Now that they've gotten BOTH predictions wrong, they're feelin' kinda mean n' ornery. Spiteful, too, I'll bet...

As soon as the Obama vs. Clinton thing is settled (and I think it will be in the next few days) I'm ready to fast forward to Nov.

I want to vote now and get it out of the way. I want to skip all the intervening crap because there is nothing, abso-fricking-lutely nothing, that could get me to vote for McCain. Obama could come out and say he was a space alien and I'd still vote for him over McCain.

I really just want this to be over. I'm sick of it.

Aaaack! Don't mention out loud the fact that there are more than one news organization or source -- or else Rupert Murdock will try to buy it!

All in the name of the Ministry, of course.
