Is she done yet?

After Tuesday's results, it's blatantly obvious who's going to win the Democratic nomination. Obama has less than 200 delegates to secure it, which was considered mathematically impossible a couple months ago. Obama trounced Clinton in North Carolina, and Hillary narrowly won in Indiana, but not by enough.

The moment came shortly after midnight Eastern time, captured in a devastatingly declarative statement from Tim Russert of NBC News: “We now know who the
Democratic nominee’s going to be, and no one’s going to dispute it,” he said on
MSNBC. “Those closest to her will give her a hard-headed analysis, and if they
lay it all out, they’ll say, ‘What is the rationale? What do we say to the
undeclared super delegates tomorrow? Why do we tell them you’re staying in the
race?’ And tonight, there’s no good answer for that.”

Hillary's only hope was to round up a bunch of super delegates at the convention. According to most pundits, that possibility has faded away.

Pro-choice activist goes too far

A UW-Stevens Point student senator attempted to destroy a display made by Pointers for Life, a pro-life organization last weekend. The protest featured a "graveyard" of 4,000 crosses to symbolize the number of abortions in the U.S. each day.

Roderick King apparently saw the display, and instead of launching a peaceful protest of his own, decided to start taking down the crosses one by one.

See the video here (embedding was disabled for this one).

As someone who is personally pro-choice, I find the graveyard a little offensive. However, it's obviously a First Amendment protection for the group to protest. King had no right to destroy the display simply because he disagreed with it.

King is a prime example of why liberals are sometime stereotyped as being irrational. But it's important to note that most of us can identify a wacko when we see one...even on our own side of the aisle.
