This weekend in normal human calendar parlance would be known as the second weekend in March. In the Obamanian course of events, however, it is called the Pre-Mississippian, Moon over Wyoming Weekend. So our household, which operates on a little bit of both these days, is delighted to host a couple of brilliant/silly/serious/giggling wonderkids, on loan from my generous and loving baby brother and his wife. I can’t wait.... until Sunday (totally kidding--va-da boom-chink.) But seriously folks... I am going to blog these crazy kids this weekend. We’re going to do a little math, a little science, a little his’try and (if they’re lucky) read a little Mark Twain. The rest of the time, we’re going to watch films and caucuses and cook whatever we feel like eating. More to come.
Oh yeah, one more thing; if I’m lucky, the wonderkids will employ their hi-tech computer brilliance to help their old uncle get the Hog Vlog Studio up and running. Yes! Believe it or not, it is on the way. Yes, I know, I know, I keep saying it is coming and nothing happens but trust me on this: IT IS COMING!! (Maybe just slightly post-Mississippi.)
I’ll be posting some more (tardy but chest-burdensome) bullets on MONSTERGATE and NAFTAGATE over the weekend, but those posts will have to wait, as I am still cogitating on the content of their character (the character of their content?) All of these Rovian schemes the Clintons keep devising to take everybody’s eye off the delegate ball are pretty smart, but in the end they are fragile little deceptions which could very well backfire in the weeks ahead. Temporary momentum is.... well, temporary.
And ya didn't win Texas, guys, Ya just didn't. It's all about the delegates, now.
