No way you heartless bastard! You want me to lose my house . . .  I read your posts . . . you'd have no sympathy for me.

Besides, I'd want to bet on Obama too . . .

Besides I only bet on cock fights -- the sport of kings.

You and me both, pal!

(Geoff and I are to hit the road with a mute Warren Oates, like a Charles Willeford novel come to life... betting on cockfights and voting for Obama..!)

Totally off-topic, but they actually show cock fighting here on television. I have a satellite and the sports channel from Singapore has cock fights. Kind of boring, really. The fights last only a few seconds.

I was thinking more like "HARD TRAVELING HEROES" -- and based on our
political differences I would say I am Hal and you are Ollie. Between political
rallies and cockfight wagering we can have zanny adventures with a blue
skinned midget that looks like David Ben-Gurion.

I bet Joe Buck does the play by play on that too.

Can we take turns with the Black Canary? 

Either way, I'm in - I love road trips, cock fighting, political debates with Geoff, and midgets.

Plus, I've always wanted to try beans on a reservation.

She's all yours Mike, I'm not interested in that kind of cock fight. I buy
the beer you buy the gas.

Heh!

And back to coverage - OMG it's a NAIL-BITER in INDIANA!

As of RIGHT NOW - 8:04 - with strong Obama Counties yet to be counted, but with 86% of precincts reporting, Hillary is just squeeking ahead with a mere 39.3 thousand votes!  It's too close to call!

In NC?  Remember that momentum that Obama lost?  Guess he found it.  He took that one home by 14 points.

Ouch, Hillary.

I don't believe Hillary will be giving up. She had a bad night but I think she's
going to keep fighting (and I don't really blame her, candidly).
