Point/Counterpoint: The end of Hillary?

OK, so everybody in the world online has their own theories as to whether Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign is deader than AIDS research.  Of course, many of these opinions are biased by either support of Barack Obama or their dad who hates Mrs. Clinton.

To this point, nobody has been able to pinpoint one exact moment when she should have gone whereever Geraldine Ferraro cries off public-lashings.  Until now: a Hillary Tall Tale Generator is up on Something Awful.

Is this automated list of tall tales, and subsequent gaming jokes, the death blow to her campaign?

Point: Nobody cares about Vin Diesel anymore.  Is he still alive?  Mr. Diesel: cough once for yes, make a sequel to The Chronicles of Riddick for no.

Counterpoint: Chuck Norris became a deciding factor in the Republican primaries … until Republicans woke up from that 12-week Mai Tai bender with a Mike Huckabee tattoo.  Still, nobody has challenged Mr. Norris to a celebrity boxing match, so his career isn’t dead.

Take it from Snee: What is a Huckamendment?

With Mike Huckabee being somehow considered a more viable presidential candidate than Ron Paul, the 10 million dollar question has been raised again: should we amend the Constitution to reflect “God’s standards?” Of course, it was a blanket statement made on a campaign stump with no elaboration, so we can only wonder what he meant.

From its very inception to today, the Constitution already jives with the word of God, falling just short of evoking Him in the preamble and including parables in red ink. I’m not sure where the problem lays, then.

The McBournie Minute: I’m right about the primaries

I predicted a couple weeks ago after the Iowa caucus that the rest of the states would choose Mike Huckabee and Barack Obama. I was dead on.

Since then, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, Mitt Romney and the Obama crush girl have all gotten wins and pundits are baffled. There are no clear leaders in either party’s race. No matter what the pundits keep orderin, voters for some reason are choosing to make up their own minds this time around. Why they chose these primaries over any other ones in the past 225 years is anyone’s guess. Regardless, with only a small amount of the country voicing their opinions so far, there is still no clear winner.

There is a sentence I did not think I would write until the Florida primaries.

However, there is some fun that can be had amongst this chaos, and like most at-home political fun, it requires watching news network coverage. You play a drinking game. What more American an approach to national politics can there possibly be?

Every time a network predicts a front-runner, winner or dark horse candidate, you do a shot. Not a sip, you wimps, a real, full shot. By the end of the night, you will be excited about when your state’s primary election is and you will want to vote for whoever makes the campaign promise of buying the next round.
