... I Guess America (or at least New Hampshire) Agreed With Me?

I'm pretty damn happy right now, I've got to say. I thought there was no way Hillary Clinton could win the New Hampshire primary at this point. I guess I wasn't the only American disgusted by the way she was being treated by soulless chauvinists. I'm liking the idea of her winning more and more. So she won, "against all odds," when all the polls said Obama would win by double digits and all the media said she was out of the race, done. Well this was obviously a big FUCK YOU to all the polls and media and all the stupid pundits on TV who think they know everything. I mean the poll results right here on this blog speak for themselves- 57 % of the seven voters (OMGZ people actually come to this website??! haha.) said the biggest problem in the campaign process is "the media. Period." So yeah, that speaks for itself. Screw you, corrupt money-hungry media! Screw you! Well anyhow, this twist makes things a hell of a lot more interesting! Hillary, Obama, fight for it now! Show us who really wants it and deserves it!

It's not that I'm happy that Obama lost, I'm just happy that Hillary won. Good for her! Her speech was awesome, I don't care what anyone says. And I'm very happy she didn't mention "change" again haha. She's a great, inspirational woman and I would be honored to have her as president. Obama would be nice too, to have a cool president, but I just keep wondering why he's running so early... he can certainly spend some more time getting used to politics at the Senate and all, learning the game... why the rush? Eh.

So I'm in a good mood. Not only because I was proved wrong (my one commenter, Goldie, was right when she said it's not over 'til it's over), but also because I can bask in the glory of having those rude anti-Hillary, name-calling bigots weeping themselves to sleep tonight. Ahhhh yes, sweet sweet revenge. :)

Current TV = Awesome

I've been watching Current TV a lot lately, and it is pretty much amazing. It gives me hope for television and for the media in general. As in, there are still people out there with hearts. And brains of their own! Sometimes it can get cheesy, a bit too artsy but usually it is just straight up intelligent and compelling content.

From, where else, Wikipedia:

Current TV is an Emmy award winning independent media company led by former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, and businessman Joel Hyatt.

Current features "pods", or short programs, of which 30% are created by viewers and users. Users (called VC2 Producers) contribute three-to-seven-minute "pods", which are usually documentary in nature. The content is filtered by registered users on Current's website through a voting process.

Google provides hourly updates on popular web searches branded as Google Current.

The Google thing is pretty cool. I mean today I found out that the top-searched term with the word purple in it is "The Color Purple" followed by "Purple Haze" and then "Purple Rain." Where else can you find that sort of life-changing information?!

I also watched segments with guys who were taken hostage by Palestinians in the most heated part of the Lebanon-Israel war, a girl travelling through a city in Africa with almost 20 million people who live in slums, young people in Iran partying "underground" because it's illegal... the list goes on and on.

It made me feel intelligent. Haha. For once in my life my television is actually treating me like a thoughtful person!

So yeah, Al Gore is a genius. Why is he not president again? Can anyone ask that enough times? I really need an answer. It's just not fair.

Here's a video from a recurring segment called Info Mania:

Oh yeah, and the essays worked out in the end. Sent them into Yale, Vassar, and Wesleyan already. Six more to go... Advice from experience, do NOT wait until the last second to submit. Not good!!
