Yes, it’s that time again. Actually I started this because I have a post where I’m trying to publish a snippet of text beginning with an xml declaration, and I can’t get it to display – even using the pre tag it seems the browser tries to render it as something other than the text. Any suggestions gratefully received – right now I’m going to see if a bit of white space will fix it.
Oh noes! Look what book Obama is reading!. It’s The Post American World! Clearly Obama is swotting up on how to bring America’s dominance to an end, encourage the rise of Muslim holy war, and something about Manchuria.
On the other hand, the opening line of the book is “This is not a book about the decline of America, but rather about the rise of everyone else.” It explains what might happen in the future, based on the informed opinion of a respected foreign commentator. I know that thinking about the future and stuff is out of fashion, but I consider it a good sign that we might have an American president who understands that wishing doesn’t always make it so.
Seriously, this scared the… OK, I can’t find a nice way of saying how much it scared me, but my heart was pounding and my arms and legs went all numb. And that’s just from watching the (safe for work) video. It’s literally unimaginable for me to actually walk this trail.

From my compulsive checking of CNN’s Democratic Delegate counter I see that Clinton has passed the magical (cus I decided so) 70% mark. She now needs to gain more than 70% of all outstanding delegates and superdelegates. That’s not to win, that’s just to stop Obama winning. For outright victory she has to get 73%. In either case it would mean consistently reaching levels she has managed in only one or two contests during the primary.
