Randomly Yours

• Can someone please explain to me why some states allow Independents to vote in Primaries and why others don't?
• And while your at it can you please explain what the hell a Super Delegate is?  And why Republican primaries were winner take all?  Please don't think I'm stoopid, it just seems that all of the explanations I've seen so far just seem to confirm my suspicions that we're not as democratic of a nation as we claim to be...
• Apparently white male democrats prefer Obama to Clinton, somehow that makes perfect sense to me.
• Obama and Edwards sound interesting to anyone else?
• It's Black History Month, a good friend of my family who happens to be a blues musician once called it Black Misery Month...
• I thought everyone knew that King Tut and Cleopatra were black Africans.  When I was a kid Budwiser used to put out a poster for Black History Month and my Aunt Bling had one with the great kings of Africa.  Tut sure as hell was on there back in the early 80's. 
• I've been trying to be more active, so I apologize if the post (and comments!) come sporadically.  (and can I just say that I am hella impressed with myself for spelling sporadically right on the first go!)
• I would love to travel the world and see the Pyramids, and the Parthenon, and the Great Wall of China and all of the other great structures of ancient times that we are still trying to figure out how the hell they built.  
• Speaking of which, I love Nova (a program on PBS.)  I talked about the Secrets of Lost Empires II: Pharaoh's Obelisk for weeks after watching it.  And I just caught the tail end of Secrets of the Parthenon, which is available to watch online.
• Hautechick and I made up.  It had something to do with karmic justice and catass.  Hilarious to the point that I had to call her to share a laugh.
• I got my taxes done today.  Whoot-whoot! for mortgage deductibility! I usually pay to have them done to save myself the time and damaged brain cells, but I usually avoid chain places.  I started with a new guy last year (thank you Hautechick) who is also a certified financial planner.  He's great.
• What the fuck is up with the weather?  It was 68 degrees in New York City today.  I saw a whole lot of stoopid people with bare legs and no jackets.  It's still February people...
