Alright, We Will Call it a Draw

This parrot is not dead. It is resting.

Just then they came in sight of thirty or forty windmills that rise from that plain. And no sooner did Don Quixote see them that he said to his squire, "Fortune is guiding our affairs better than we ourselves could have wished. Do you see over yonder, friend Sancho, thirty or forty hulking giants? I intend to do battle with them and slay them. With their spoils we shall begin to be rich for this is a righteous war and the removal of so foul a brood from off the face of the earth is a service God will bless."
"What giants?" asked Sancho Panza.
"Those you see over there," replied his master, "with their long arms. Some of them have arms well nigh two leagues in length."
"Take care, sir," cried Sancho. "Those over there are not giants but windmills. Those things that seem to be their arms are sails which, when they are whirled around by the wind, turn the millstone."

Saint Jude is the Patron Saint of Hopeless, desperate or lost causes. St Jude (or Judas) was one of the 12 apostles and was present at the last super, but should not be confused with Judas Iscariot, the betrayer of Jesus.

•  Running Away..Are you?

  The Obama campaign annoucned three superdelegates -- Jeanette Council (NC); Jerry Meek (NC) and Inola Henry (CA) -- have pledged support. AP is reporting one more, a switch from Clinton in Virginia, Jennifer McClellan. (We're working to confirm that and will update.)

•  Using the Black Knight skit as a metaphor

  for the Hillary campaign, it's hard to say exactly how many limbs she has left. Certainly at least one, possibly two. Sadly, like King Arthur, Obama will have to cut the remaining limb(s) off. I think she only has one limb left.

  But what we really need is a song to cheer up her campain.
