Looks like it was a clean sweep yesterday for Mitt Romney, who – as most people figured a long time ago – is looking as though he’ll be the GOP nominee.  I’m not sure if that’s good or bad.  I find it hard to believe Mr. Etch-a-sketch would appeal to too may people, but we’ll see, I guess.  It’s even harder to figure out just what he’d do if he was the Prez.  I guess that all depends on if the Republicans take the Senate and keep the House.  Then we’re in for some deep shit, I think.  But there are, what, about 7 excruciatingly dull months of campaigning to suffer through.

Obama had a very nice speech yesterday.  It had his fanbots (at TPM, anyway) all a gush with warm fuzzies for him.  Hopefully we’ll see more of that.  And maybe a little action (though the time for action on anything in this term has pretty much passed – other than drone assassinations and whatnot). 

Well, after a nice couple of extra days off, it’s back to work today.  Which kinda sucks.  It’s been nice to enjoy the outdoor air and even sunlight.  It’s nice, because we’re getting close to 13 hours of daylight at this point.  Most of this is lost on me when I’m at work, of course. 

But, time to get ready to go, I guess.

So, whattya think?  If SCOTUS trashes Obamacare, will it lead to Single Payer?  That’s the question over at TPM this morning.  Personally, I don’t see it happening.  But it’s a nice thought.

One person who won’t need health care is the guy who dies in an “accident” this morning around here.  Assuming you can call shooting yourself while driving an accident.  Seems like an odd way to take yourself out, but I suppose maybe he was playing with the weapon or something.

It’s not exactly warm today, but it’s nice and sunny, so I’ll take it.  And I’m off today, so that’s even better, though I can feel the day slipping away, and I’m not exactly accomplishing anything.  Not that I actually had anything in mind to accomplish.  Although I already watched last night’s Game of Thrones, so I guess that’s an accomplishment.

So, March is behind us. The way the weather had been , I was kind of hoping to have the pool opened by now. Sadly, it’s turned into a somewhat less warm spring. Not that I’m complaining, of course. It’s still been better than usual (I think we’re still at an all-time low in terms of snowfall. And I reckon I’ll be needing to put the mower on the tractor soon. The grass is getting a little shaggy. Except where the little monsters has holes dug, of course. They’re quite industrious, and work together as a team. I only wish I could direct them as to where to dig.

So I guess everyone has by now heard that Current TV dumped Keith Olbermann. I really haven’t been watching anyway, so it won’t have much of an effect on me. Considering he was kind of their star talent, he must have really pissed them off. I hear they’ve now got Bill Press and Stephanie Miller these days. If they were in HD (and I was in a mood for news), I might watch. I mostly watch stuff on NetFlix these days (that way I don’t need to manipulate the remote so much, skipping commercials).

The big news of the day is that it’s finally time for the season 2 premiere of Game of Thrones. I’m sure it wouldn’t be everybody’s cup of tea (what with it being “fantasy” and all), but I started watching it over the winter a couple of episodes at a time on HBOGO, and got hooked. It will be difficult to have to watch it one episode at a time.

Ah, looking out the window, I see it’s a typical April morning . It’s snowing. Not much, and I think it’s supposed to be warm(ish) today. So I suppose I ought to go and do something.
