More Ramps, Less Clinton

-Strange but true: you can get homework done early. So far, I’ve now turned in three assignments for my classes early. This is truly a bizarre feeling. It’s like I’m being genuinely productive or something. And only 15 years after I should have started acting like this.

-Ate a huge MustGo dinner tonight from my fridge, right before Clay Erinn called, offering me ramps and potatoes. Who am I to turn down such a delicacy? You can see them photographed above. The recipe was as follows: potatoes fried in one pan, with chopped ramps, bacon, and eggs cooking in another pan. Combine in a single bowl, add hot sauce, and consume. Needless to say, I was awfully full, but ramps are damned delicious.

“If you have the means, I highly recommend that you try them. They’re choice.” Thanks Ferris Bueller.

-Congratulations Hillary Clinton. She won Pennsylvania while simultaneously reminding anybody who was actually paying attention what an awful person she is. Way to go! What with her attempts to run a campaign that looks like it has been managed by Karl Rove, she clearly represents nothing more than the empty pursuit of power and the desire to do whatever she can to get it. Even if that includes costing the Democrats the election in the fall.

Incidentally, I saw where Clinton overwhelmingly won PA’s women. My instinct is to stomp around my house cursing anybody who voted for Clinton just because she happens to be female; that would be wrong of me, so instead, I’ll assume that every vote cast for Clinton was done by people who had thoroughly evaluated her positions on the issues and found themselves in more agreement with her than Obama. Because, really, voting for a candidate just because they’re female is so ridiculously stupid that it isn’t worth discussing…for anymore than at least one more sentence, which is this: I’m not supporting Obama because he’s a man, but rather, because he’s a good candidate who has a chance to win nationally, which is what Clinton supporters should be evaluating, instead of concerning themselves with the fact that she has a vagina.

Needless to say, if somebody supports her because they agree with her political positions, fine. If the support is there only because she’s a female, then that’s as dumb as any man’s decision to support Reagan over Mondale simply because he was running with Geraldine Ferraro. Bigotry doesn’t depend upon the bigot’s demographics.

Yes, I’m aware that we can’t change how people vote. But dammit, we can get awfully angry about it, can’t we? Also, that was more than one more sentence…

-At some point, this website is going to change its look. Part of that will include me no longer posting a photograph with every single post. Sometimes, I just want to write something. Of course, none of you are regular readers, because my regular readers don’t exist. Still, I thought you should know.
