Thank God It's Tuesday.

Primary day is here. I hope to god that we can just acknowledge Hillary wins WV and move on. Like Aaron said a few weeks ago, I'm starting to hate the Dems as much as the Republicans at this point. All that said, I'm still going to stop at the polling place this morning on my way home from work and vote. Then I'm going home, poaching some eggs and eating ham.

GOP's New Slogan Already Being Used To Market Anti-Depressant

Can the makers of Effexor sue?

Like a Locust in a Pantsuit

I woke up this morning to discover that the Clintons have hit WV, defying massive debt and mathematics they drag this freak show out . Bill and his waggy finger will be in a little town about a half hour from me tomorrow. Great.

She'll win this state. She'll declare it a gamechanger or a tideturner or some other hackneyed piece o crap that allegedly shows she's a fighter and tough and in it to win it. She'll ask for people to go to her website and give her money three or four times in her post primary speech. The pundits will pretend that she still has a chance and drag this Bataan death march of a primary on. She'll hemorrhage cash. Her negatives will hit new highs.

Can it be Wednesday, May 14 now? She was in Shepherdstown, WV today for a presser. (If Dana Milbank's blog post is right, the behind the scenes action was much better than the actual presser,if only for the parade of ironies.) As soon as she gave her line about "If this was the Republican primary, I'd be the nominee now" line, I tuned out.

Her every appearance reminds me of this:

Oh, Hillary

On the one hand, I'm enjoying watching the Jr. Senator from NY struggle through the primary season. That whole "inevitability" "I'm not going to lose" jazz coming from her and her campaign last summer and fall just annoyed me like heat rash. On the other hand, I am mortified for her by certain of her choices in the last 24 hours.

*The Dallas Morning News has a picture from the kick off of her El Paso event last night: a mortified five-year-old in a Mariachi outfit was paraded out to hand her flowers. I know she's courting Hispanic voters. But a Mariachi outfit?? I'd vote for the five year old...he at least has enough sense to feel shamed.

* Shouting "I'm tested. I'm ready. Let's Make it happen." only works if you're just back from the free clinic. Besides--Rudy! used this same line in Florida...and look how that turned out.

*Then, there's this:
