Just Another Geek's Completely Useless Blog.
It has been a while since I posted anything actually about me and there have been a couple of new developments I’m excited about. I’ve been spending a lot of my little bit of blogging time I allow myself talking about the Presidential campaign. By the way, if you haven’t seen it you need to check out Sen. Obama’s speech on race in America from Monday morning.
Anyway, on to my own stuff…
From my caramel macchiato cup this morning.
So called “global warming” is just a secret ploy by wacko tree-huggers to make America energy independent, clean our air and water, improve the fuel efficiency of our vehicles, kick-start 21st-century industries, and make our cities safer and more livable. Don’t let them get away with it!

A friend of mine asked me to record a 90-minute mix for Funk The War, which is planned for March 19, 2008 to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the US invasion of Iraq. This mix will be the part of the soundtrack for bunches of students dancing in the streets of Washington, DC in a peaceful (at least I hope it stays peaceful) protest of the Iraq War.
Most of the tracks are edited in some way by me, on the fly by extending, adding breakdowns, glitches, sampling some of my own original loops, etc. Fun stuff.
Enjoy!

As I was concerned about yesterday, Republican voters seem to be coming out to vote for Sen. Clinton, perhaps spurred by the encouragement of Rush Limbaugh and others. The Republicans know that they have the best chance of winning against Sen. Clinton, so now that their party has decided its nomination they are starting to influence the Democratic race.
It used to be that Sen. Obama was getting more Republican support (he has actually used it as a campaign point) but since the last round of primaries and caucuses, which determined Sen. McCain would be the Republican nominee, we have had two contests. In Wyoming’s Democratic caucus (which was closed, meaning only those registered as a Democrat by February 22, 2008 could participate) we don’t have exit poll numbers, but it is unlikely Republican voters had an impact. In Mississippi, however, Sen. Clinton won the Republican vote by a 3-to-1 margin, 75% to 25%.
(exit poll data source: MSNBC)
It is safe to say that Republicans haven’t all of a sudden started deciding Clinton is the candidate they are ready to switch party affiliation for. Obama has been winning the support of cross-over Republicans for some time, and now all of a sudden a 3-to-1 margin opens for Clinton? Not likely.

Mississippi is traditionally a red state. Since the state holds an open primary, and the Republican party already has a presumptive nominee, could we see a large amount of Republican voters voting for Clinton to drag the fight out longer?
Some of the right-wing pundits have been encouraging this for a little while and without the numbers in front of me I wouldn’t be surprised if it had an impact in states like Texas.
