Why is it that I only get science-dorky about the periodic table?

[apocalypsos]

I don't even remember what to DO with the periodic table, for crying out loud.

Also, according to the AP's tally, Obama effectively clinches the nomination. And Clinton's open to the VP spot. I'm torn on Clinton as Obama's VP. On one hand, I like them both (granted, they also both have flaws, and Clinton's stubbornness has been irritating me the last few weeks) and we'd get two historic firsts in one go. On the other hand, it's one thing to band together to win the election and another thing to work together well afterwards, which I'm not sure they can do. They can both manage to fight like hell, so if they can manage to direct it at the Republicans rather than at each other it might actually work. Maybe. Possibly.

And there's this NY Times article by a retired gynecologist about the days before Roe vs. Wade. The point being, of course, that abortion didn't just start because of Roe. It's just safe because of it. Too bad that fact won't sink into some people's brains.

In less serious news, next on my list of fandoms to catch up on is Gossip Girl. Hopefully I'll have it by tomorrow so I can spend my last day off watching. Otherwise it's just going to have to wait until my next four days off because I really want to try to work on the story ideas I've been toying with the last couple of days.

THAT IS A COOL VIDEO

That video is seriously WIN.

I'd be happy if he picked Clinton. I'd be happy if he picked Webb, or Strickland. I'd be happy if he picked Napolitano. Heck, the guy can pick almost anyone except Hagee, and I'll be happy. I just want to see a Dem in, you know?

Yep. I've read a little about what women used to do (and what some of them still do), and... uh yipes. O_o

Thanks for the NYT link.

That vid is tres excellent!

And re: Obama and Clinton, thinking about a joint ticket too much makes my head hurt. They might just keep going at each other like wild dogs post-win, but I'd like to think that they could move on from that, *if* it were to happen.
