Summer checklist, and Hilldawg

This is just a list I came up with in about 2 minutes, so I'm sure it doesn't include some miscellaneous things. This is basically focused on what I want to accomplish before I go to Las Vegas in 7 weeks:

-lift 3 times a week; do cardio 5-6 times a week
-do significant "spring cleaning" of bedroom at my mom's house
-whiten teeth
-get tan
-make 2+ weekend trips to Atlantic City
-make 1 trip to Pittsburgh in May (when its not 90 degrees out)
-get my two dogs in shape
-cook a new (healthy) meal at least once a week
-minimize porn usage
-go skydiving
-take a yoga class

Political rant: I am an independent voter when it comes to party registration AND ideology. However, I particularly have negative feelings toward Hillary Clinton (in spite of not advocating the other candidates anyway). I believe it has become increasingly obvious that Hillary does not give a damn about the well-being of her party. Barack Obama has had a sizeable lead against her in the popular vote, states won, AND number of delegates for many weeks now. Hillary won my state Pennsylvania by a crushing 10% lead yesterday, and yet she still has very little chance of winning the nomination at this point.

Hillary does not care about doing what is best for her party, or she would have bowed out several weeks ago. She has now created tons of negative attention towards her party's primary, and jeopardized their chances of beating McCain. After closely watching her speeches and her voting history in the Senate, it is very apparent to me that Hillary simply just does whatever it takes to personally win. She does not care about her party winning if it means she can't win. She has launched many negative political ads trying to drag Obama's name through the mud. She also has no real ideological base... her voting history and stance on issues are largely incongruent. The term "slimeball" comes to mind when I think of how to describe Hillary.

I would lay 1.5-to-1 on McCain winning the general election this fall, regardless of who his opponent is. And that is largely due to the disaster Hillary has caused.
