From Dispatches from the Culture Wars:
"Found this via Pam's House Blend, which got it from Blogger Interrupted. This clueless woman from Medina, Ohio got on local TV saying that she thinks Obama is an "Arab" - not a Muslim, mind you, an Arab. So this guy from Blogger Interrupted found the woman and talked to her, not once but twice. He showed her information that Obama is, in fact, a Christian and that he has nothing at all to do with the Arab world and you have to watch her babble idiotically to justify it. "Video below:

"But the sad fact is that this is not the dumbest person alive; this is about par for the course. She's pretty much an average American - utterly ignorant, entirely incapable of thinking rationally or honestly and blissfully unaware of either of those things. This is the person you run into at the grocery store every day. They may be perfectly nice people, but they are perfect examples of virulent ignorance. "

DAY CARE FUN
The original crumbdropper, aka Peanut, loves the day care she attends. She has friends there, and they do a lot of fun things. In this warm weather, they have been having fun in the pool.
Ah, to be a young Corgi boy again!

JOHN McCAIN'S FAMILY VALUES
From Badtux the Snarky Penguin:
"When he came home from Vietnam to find that his wife was disabled, John McCain divorced her and married an heiress twenty years his junior. H. Ross Perot, who paid Carol McCain's medical bills all those years ago while McCain was a POW, now believes that both Carol McCain and the American people have been taken in by a man who is unusually slick and cruel – even by the standards of modern politics.
"'McCain is the classic opportunist. He’s always reaching for attention and glory," he said.
"'After he came home, Carol walked with a limp. So he threw her over for a poster girl with big money from Arizona. And the rest is history.'"
Republican family values, yessiree.

GORE ENDORSES OBAMA
From Al Gore's endorsement:
"From now through Election Day, I intend to do whatever I can to make sure he is elected President of the United States.
"Over the next four years, we are going to face many difficult challenges -- including bringing our troops home from Iraq, fixing our economy, and solving the climate crisis. Barack Obama is clearly the candidate best able to solve these problems and bring change to America."

DIABETES Part 6
Welp, my mommas had me to the doctor last week, for a blood test. We got the results this week; I have to get 15 units of insulin, two times per day. That's up from 12.5 units a couple of months ago.
My momma was surprised, because I had not been having any noticable problems. She hopes that I will stay at this new level for a while.

AND THE WINNER IS...
Obama-man has changed the course of American history. He has clinched the Democratic nomination, crossing the critical delegate mark, becoming the first African-American nominee for President. Woo Hoo!
From the text of Obama's prepared remarks at his June 3 rally in St.Paul: "Sixteen months have passed since we first stood together on the steps of the Old State Capitol in Springfield, Illinois. Thousands of miles have been traveled. Millions of voices have been heard. And because of what you said - because you decided that change must come to Washington; because you believed that this year must be different than all the rest; because you chose to listen not to your doubts or your fears but to your greatest hopes and highest aspirations, tonight we mark the end of one historic journey with the beginning of another - a journey that will bring a new and better day to America. Tonight, I can stand before you and say that I will be the Democratic nominee for president of the United States."
