Given the Primaries, Prove Obama > Clinton

A Comparison Between The Two Democratic Candidates With No Regards To The Issues They Stand For

As of the timestamp of this post, Barack Obama is in the lead for the Democrats with 1,262 Delegates to Hillary Clinton's 1,213. John McCain is going to win on the Republicans, and I have no idea why Mike Huckabee is still running.

I also picked up the Daily Show's Indecision 2004 DVD from the library today, and wow, you have no idea how much I'm looking forward to Election Night 2008. I have approximately 5.33*10^4 grams of homework to do, so naturally, I'm posting on my blog.

The following is the result of a random brainwave today at around 1:09PM.

In no order whatsoever,
1. "Obama" is a lot more fun to say than "Clinton" or "Hillary"
2. Obama's father was a goat herder. Lol?
3. Obama's face looks much better on a t-shirt. Clinton's face is generally only acceptable to be printed on clothing that is worn during or around Halloween.
4. Barack Hussein Obama: It's in the name. Barack sounds like "Iraq" depending on how you pronounce it, his middle name is Hussein, and Obama of course, sounds like Osama. In other words, he's perfect for America.
5. Barack Obama's Facebook group has 468,554 members. Hillary Clinton's largest group on Facebook has 843,016 members; Unfortunately, that's the Stop Hillary Clinton: (One Million Strong AGAINST Hillary) group. The 1,000,000 Strong For Stephen T Colbert group has 1,388,311 members and once had over 1.5 million members, but he isn't running.
6. Obama does not come with Bill Clinton. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing, but it sure fills up space.
7. Hillary Clinton is actually the Joker. Thank you for that enlightening fact, Encyclopedia Dramatica.
Therefore, Barack Obama > Hillary Clinton.
QED.

Super Tuesday!

Summary on Thursday.


The election has been moving along quickly recently; While I was away last week, I stayed connected to the real world through The Daily Show in which I learned that Rudy Giuliani and John Edwards had dropped out of the race. That's the end of the "9/11" jokes, but hopefully we haven't seen the last of Giuliani or Edwards. This Tuesday was Super Tuesday, in which primaries were held in twenty-four states and was the make or break for all candidates.



Also, breaking news. Looks like Mitt Romney decided to suspend his campaign for the Republican nomination. John McCain is currently way ahead on the Republican side, unlike the Democrats there is a clear leader in the field. Results as of February 7, 2008, from CNN's Website:

Candidates are vying for the greatest number of delegates. They need a majority of these individuals to choose them for the presidential nomination. Republican candidates need to win a total of 1,191 delegates; Democrats need 2,025 delegates.

McCain is currently in the lead with 714.
Romney is second with 286, but he dropped out today.
Huckabee is still in the race, and he won 181 so far.
Paul, who is somehow still in the race, has 16.

"Mac is back, but Huck is not f***ed."

With the Democrats the race is still too close to call; Edwards dropped out last week, leaving Obama and Clinton. Clinton has secured some major states such as California and New York but it is still to early to pinpoint the winner in the Democratic party.

Clinton is currently in the lead with 1,033 delegates.
Obama is not far behind with 937.

Votes are split evenly between the two; the state of Missouri, for example, had 49% voting for Obama and 48% for Clinton.

Masterpieces by a Bored High School Student

My recent posts may suggest that I, Darkie, rarely spend time away from being in front of a screen of some kind. I hope that this post may change that belief. You see, in between sleeping, eating, watching TV on the Internet, reading on the Internet, and playing games on the Internet, I sometimes get around to doing other things.

Occasionally, I go to school.

This will be another mini-post; Super Tuesday is tomorrow and I may report on that later. In the meantime, I scanned a bunch of my school work to show off here. I happen to be a dork, and you may happen to find it funny.

Click images for full size.

This is a scan of my Math notebook. My math teacher actually included the "navigator went crazy and jumped overboard" line in the problem, I kid you not. Also, it has absolutely nothing to do with the problem.

I, like many other students, have difficulty concentrating and/or spending more time on the actual test if the teacher happens to include something along the lines of a bonus section at the very end of the test. My Socials tests tend to have some kind of word scramble bonus at the end, while my Accounting tests include the option of drawing a little doodle for an extra mark.
Here is my Physics quiz from two weeks ago. The teacher instructed the class to, if they had time at the end, draw a picture of a "Chicken Vs. Cow Deathmatch." Here is my interpretation, in the form of a first-person shooter. It is supposed to look like Doom, and I am aware that I forgot the ammo bar.

This is a scan of a drawing I had to do for Socials, to show "Representative Democracy." The object of interest here, of course, are the signs that say, "Stewart In '08!" and, "Vote Colbert 2008!" Basically, it's just me showing my dedication as a fan. I also happen to like my little mob of faceless people.

I guess it's taken me a couple of years to realize I can still have fun in school. Oh well. If you have similar drawings or related school work stuff to share, comment and linky please.

Pure, Epic Win.

Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart go on Conan O'Brien's show to settle their feud over who created Mike Huckabee. Massive brawling ensues.

Click for epic battle sequence and perfect ending and MIND-BLOWING AWESOME.

What the hell, they don't even have writers.
Sorry for the short post, but I am so happy about this right now.

Bob the Moose: Adventures at Apex!

Hello, readers and fans* of Darkie's Dailies. My name is Bob, and I am a moose. This past week I had the unfortunate fortune of following Darkie on her trip to Apex Ski Resort in Penticton, BC. Although my tiny, furry, moose-y old self did not spend much time outside of a 5m radius from my room at the inn, I enslaved Darkie to write this 432 word photo blog post to record my lovely adventure.
*Currently estimated at two readers.
Aren't I cute?

On the morning of the 29th I was shoved forcefully into Darkie's day pack and dragged the ten blocks to school. At around 8:30 the bus left and I was freed from the dark and damp prison of Darkie's backpack. So, naturally, I took pictures!
Darkie took this photo of me right before we left. I was so excited!

The bus didn't have a DVD player of any kind, so, in need of some amusement, Darkie and her friends decided to abuse the flexibility of my moose body.
This looks like a screen capture straight out of a snuff film. They're twisted my head around here; it's just sick.

After a while they got bored of me and I was zipped up again in Darkie's back pack. There I rested until 3:30 in the afternoon, when we finally arrived at Apex. Of course, Apex was covered in about a foot of snow, so Darkie kept me warm and dry by placing me on the shelf of room 106 in the Silverbullet Inn, right above the fireplace.
I was free to spend my day watching TV, listening to music, or strangling myself with Christmas lights. As I was right above the fireplace, my lovely furry butt was always warm and toasty. Occasionally I had Darkie move me to other places in the inn:
During my time spent in the fridge, I helped myself to a large helping of Nerds. Nothing makes a moose happier than a whole lot of Nerds. I wanted some jello, too, but I couldn't reach it.
And here is the bathroom.

Here is a photo of me of when I actually left the inn:
I wanted to try skiing, but alas, they didn't have moose-sized skis.

My time spent at Apex was so relaxing that I slept during the entire bus ride back to Vancouver, so I apologize for the lack of more photos. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed reading about my lovely adventure, and I would also like to thank Darkie for helping me to share this with all of you.
