Vote for Vermin Supreme - he'll take your internal organs and give them to the needy. Oh, and here are some NH predictions.
After my brilliantly successful (in attracting comments, if not accuracy) predictions on the Iowa primary, I'm ready to follow on with my prognostications about New Hampshire. For Iowa I did fairly well with the Republicans and totally missed the boat on the Democrats - too much confidence in Hillary did me in.…

That's what happens when you smoke dope and then go flying...

I know someone who did that many years ago. He died of natural causes, eventually.

Happen a bit in 'Nam, did that?

ALL HAIL VERMIN SUPREME!!!
Well, other than getting virtually everything wrong, I think I did pretty well with my predictions. :-/
Let me echo both of those statements. I both acknowledge the supremacy of Vermin Supreme and that my predictions were a bit off.
Hey Dave: I noticed you changed your predictions a little bit after you published this article. When did you do that?
About midnight Monday when I saw the weather report for Tuesday. I think I made them worse.

Dave, the most intelligent of men are wrong sometimes. Thankfully that doesn't happen to you very often.

Didn't Churchill have some sort of horribly itchy, chronic skin condition that led him to take long, hot baths for hours on end in an effort to alleviate the symptoms?
I seem to recall reading that before. Or maybe I'm confusing Winston with someone else...
Anyway, something like that is bound to make a man a reader (all that time in the bathroom...), as well as a drinker. And I would imagine it wouldn't hamper the blossoming of a dry, sarcastic wit, either... ;-}

There's a pattern emerging. Here is my forecast:
Some time between now and Tuesday morning, Dave will publish an article entitled "Calling Michigan".
Having got the predictions in that one horrendously wrong yet again, he will publish an article on the eve of the South Carolina primary entitled, "Oh, Fuck It."
He will then retire to his leafy acres in suburban Austin, to content himself with being deafened by Baritone on a weekly basis.

Churchill was an avid bather, but I don't know about the skin condition.
Basically, he was a wilful naughty boy who never really grew up, and that turned out to be just the kind of person needed at the time!
I think that's why he loved parliament. All the verbal jousting just reminded him of school.

Has anyone else noticed that my comment #106 has become conventional wisdom in the days since I wrote it?
It's not that what she's saying is factually incorrect, it's just that it's politically incorrect. Remember: She's running against a "black" guy for the nomination of a political party in which a large percentage of the registered voters are black, and which holds MLK up as an almost God-like figure. Any statement that is viewed as minimizing His legacy is considered borderline Nazism to many on the Left.
Personally, I think she was just trying to bait Obama into a defensive overreaction that would have turned off some voters, but he was smart enough to largely ignore the comment. I have to admit that the guy has run a pretty smart campaign so far, with the exception of some foreign-policy gaffes early on.
Now, despite the fact that Obama didn't really respond to Clinton's comments, she is now out there claiming that Obama is dividing people along racial lines!
This woman has no honor, nor decency. I don't see how anyone could possibly defend this obvious attempt by the Clinton camp to posion the racial well in the Democrat Party for personal political advantage. Shame on her. She's little better than George Wallace in this regard.
