Well, you shouldn&#8217;t.  At least not in NYS politics, as Governor Snotball rather handily (though not as handily as he&#8217;d have liked) withstood the Zephyr wind to win the Democratic nomination for Governor. So, thanks to the worthless, gutless, and feckless Working Families Party (I wish I still had links on the sidebar so I could take theirs down), we won&#8217;t be able to vote for Teachout in November.  I guess that only leaves perpetual candidate for everything Howie Hawkins (he&#8217;s kinda like a Timex watch &#8211; or maybe Gus Hall). Since there&#8217;s virtually no possibility of that Republican guy (what&#8217;s his name?  Ford Torino or something?) winning (absent some Anthony Weiner-style twitpics out there somewhere), I guess that&#8217;s a safe vote.  Or you can write me in. But I think I&#8217;d vote for Howie instead.<\/p>\n<p>In the other news, Apple CEO Tim Cook unveiled the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus to a standing ovation at the iSheep convention yesterday.  At one point, I saw a slide of the &#8220;evolution of the iPhone&#8221; with each generation lined up.  Other than size, they all looked the friggin&#8217; same.  Of course, Apple is great for people who like to be told what to do (they remind me a lot of the old AOL in that respect &#8211; they made everything so &#8220;easy&#8221; and with AOL you never needed to go out on that scary old Internet, &#8216;cuz AOL had everything you&#8217;d ever want right there within its safe little walls), and this &#8220;new&#8221; phone will be a huge hit.  <\/p>\n<p>Timmy also showed off a big, square, ugly watch that&#8217;ll go for $350. Too me it looks kinda like something they&#8217;d give you if you were under house arrest.  I predict it will be lauded as stylish and revolutionary, and will be a huge hit (at least amongst the Apple crowd).<\/p>\n<p>Oh well, time to get back to checking on my databases.  I&#8217;m officially on-call now, so I spent most of last night waiting for a phone call (that never came, thank goodness, &#8216;cuz I really don&#8217;t know WTF I&#8217;m doing).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do ya?
