Edward Pulls Through

We are happy to announce that Senator Edward Kennedy’s brain surgery went very well, which means the implant will now try to start computing in the space where there was no brain present previously.

Said Kennedy “I feel like a million bucks. I think I’ll do that again tomorrow.” This is clearly a sign that the available brain donor stock was of particularly low quality, but it still should be an improvement over what we previously were able to get from Teddy. And, if it doesn’t”take”, maybe we can oblige him and try again tomorrow.

The surgery did stumble on a hiccup of sorts,

The Clinton hating members of the GOP (me included) all would love to see the Clinton’s go bye-bye, at just about any cost. In Texas, there is an interesting possibility which allows the GOP to have a hand in the demise of Billary… but recent rumblings from the Lone Star State are indicating a potential switch in direction.

In Texas (or “Tay-Hass”, if you are an illegal) they have an interesting system. You see, the GOP’ers can go out and vote for Democrat candidates in the Caucus after the Primary.

Up until now the conventional wisdom was that many of the GOP would go out in the Caucus’s after the Primaries and vote for Obama, thus putting a stake in the heart of the Clinton Monster. But some rumblings from Old Mexico are now surfacing, revealing that there is some kind of movement to “revive” Hillary, and keep her IN the race for a bit longer.

No question, the right would love to see Hillary on a political stretcher, leaving the game with a season (or career) ending injury. However, if the GOP has anything to do with it, that sentiment has now changed to an attitude that it is better to keep “Dumb and Dumber” beating on each other for a bit longer.

I tend to agree. Obama has a huge warchest of money that McCain does not, and he needs to spend a bit of that on beating Hillary. Additionally, it is clear that the need for Hillary to point out differences between her and Obama are clarifying the starkness of both Obama and Clinton against the positions of McCain.

I personally was hoping and willing to predict that Hillary would be done Tuesday. I am STILL going to predict she will be. She will likely lose Texas. But I HOPE she does not, and she has a reason to fight on.

In a way, either way, I/we win…
