I know there are still Clinton supporters, even up here, that are still claiming Clinton still has a shot at winning, or even claiming that the remaining Democratic super delegates may yet still change their mind, but the numbers don’t lie. Clinton’s run is nearing an end. When the last contests end, Obama will be tantalizingly within reach of the magic number. Anyone who thinks the remaining supers are going to suddenly move to Hillary, particularly with her latest Robert Kennedy gaffe, is dreaming.

UPDATE: Best response I’ve seen to Hilary’s rationalization of this and her subsequent apology:

It looks like many of Hillary Clinton’s apologists and several political pundits claim that her assassination remarks can be explained because of fatigue. Perhaps. In fact, it’s likely.
But won’t she be fatigued at 3 a.m. in the morning?

UPDATE@May 25, 11:13pm: 3 more super-delegates from Hawaii have declared for Obama. The number for Obama to officially declare victory draws closer.

As a followup to my last post, here are some of my favourite “sweets” as the Brits say, or confectionery:

I’ve decided I no longer want to talk politics on here - no “progressive” talk or “liberal” or “Conservatives”.

Instead, I wanna talk about confectionery - which the British sometimes call “sweets” or “sweeties” or “spogs” or “spice” or “goodies”, and what we in North America call “candy”.

Also, what better way to turn over a new “sweet” - er “leaf”, then to change the look of the site. Look at all those goodies in the title bar.. mmm mmm… makes me gain 10 pounds just looking at it.

Just so we all know what “confectionery” means, a better definition comes from Wikipedia:

Confectionery items include sweets, lollipops, candy bars, chocolate, Cotton candy, and other sweet items of snack food. The term does not generally apply to cakes, biscuits, or puddings which require cutlery to consume, although exceptions such as petits fours or meringues exist. Speakers of American English do not refer to these items as “candy”.

Remember that when you discuss confectionery at my site. I will boot anyone off of my site who comes on here trying to tell me a cake or a pudding is confectionery. Donut talk is also not tolerated here. On the other hand, expressing your love for such things as fudge, toffee/taffy, or chocolates, to name a few, will earn you my undying love and respect, and perhaps I’ll send you a copy of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

So, whats YOUR fave confectionary?
