Hillary Clinton out of money, Obama could take the crown

February 6, 2008

A New York Times article pointed out Clinton is lending her campaign money in the hopes of countering a huge influx of funds to Obama’s campaign. If money and attendance at rallies is an indication of who is going to pull off the win in the end, Obama may be the guy. As much as I’d like to see the Bush/Clinton era end, I don’t know if Hillary is done yet.

Since putting Bill in the freezer after South Carolina, Hillary has seemed more comfortable, warm and congenial in the media, which may push her over the top in the end. After all, unlike Obama, she’s backed by a pretty formidable machine. Regardless of the outcome, this race has been good for both the Democrats and U.S. democracy in general.

People are turning out in droves to vote, and the race between Obama and Clinton was drawing as many people’s attention as the Super Bowl.


Good News: I know how to survive a plane crash now

February 6, 2008

Like the rest of North America, I’ve been surfing Facebook and watching the U.S. primaries for the past few weeks. As much as I like the Facebook, I’m feeling a little fatigue. I’ve also been feeling like I need to start sharing my publicly sharing my thoughts with no one again, hence the new blog post.

Anyway, this headline caught my eye today.  In my view the best way to avoid a plane death in a plane crash is to drive or take the train. Plus, I tend to rate a “crash” as a plane falling out of the sky or hitting a mountain. The ones that skid to stops at the end of runways don’t count in my mind.
