'Super'

Well, happy Super Tuesday. I got stood up by a blind date, that's how I celebrated.

Actually, before that, I was late for work. I didn't mean to be, but the weather wasn't supposed to hit until later, and that snooze button was so seductive... I left home at 7:15, which is pushing it but only a little, and didn't get to work until 8:30. I don't know if there were accidents, I didn't see any, but I sure sat still on the interstate a lot. Tried to take my bail-out route that goes more through town for the second half and almost got stranded worse before I got to the side streets.



It's Mardi Gras, too, I know. And the bar I was stood up in, it had a remarkable lack of women exposing their breasts in exchange for cheap beads.

For all I know, I maybe dodged a bullet in terms of my date. I've had horrible luck with dating sites, meeting women who generally range from Lying Waste of Time to Nigerian Banking Scam to Porno Site to Porno Site Made to Look Like A Prostitute.



And the chick I was supposed to meet tonight, no picture on her profile. Could be a man for all I know. Well, I've talked to her on the phone, and I don't think it's a man, but there's definitely a few unknowns.

Why no photo? I figure there's one of two answers to that: either she has a good idea that a photo would be a deal breaker, or the opposite, that she's so gorgeous she can't post the pic for all the men who typically like her for the wrong reasons.

I wasn't betting on the latter, but you never know. Or do you?



So while I was killing time and a couple of Boulevard Pales, the election results were running on one of the bar's TV screens. Seems there's a contest today between Obama and Hillary, with some notion that one or the other of them is toast after today. But I don't see it. Looked to me like they had each carried some states. And this Huckabee guy from the Republicans, he was on screen but it appeared McCain had duped the voters more successfully in other places.

Ron Paul, the only major party candidate who'd even be worth pissing on if he was on fire, looked to be getting the usual three to thirteen percent us Libertarians are used to, even though he's playing Republican these days.

Thing is, any of these assholes get to the White House and it's bad news. Maybe as bad as the guy we've got there now, maybe even worse (though it's hard to imagine).

Em was telling me the other day she liked Obama, and I'm like 'me too, but not as President. Let him pursue legitimate employment for his considerable gifts.' At which point my daughter looked at me with an expression that made me know it's not a coincidence when I'm at the bar alone, waiting for someone who's not coming...
