Out? Not Hardly!

More people wish Hillary Clinton to step aside, in order to allow Barack Hussein Obama to take the Demorat nomination:

Sen. Patrick Leahy, a Vermont senator who endorsed Obama in January, said she was never going to win enough delegates, and he suggested she should throw in the towel in "the interests of a Democratic victory in November." A number of Democrats have expressed concern that Republican John McCain is getting a head start while Obama and Clinton fight on.

In response, Hillary has essentially said "no way" to any thought of quitting:

I know a little bit about comebacks," she said to cheers. "I know what it's like to be counted down and counted out. But I also know there is nothing that will keep us down if we are determined to keep on.

Asked what she thought of Obama's comment Friday that the Democratic primary race resembled "a good movie that lasted about a half-hour too long," Clinton smiled broadly and said, "I like long movies."

Her daughter Chelsea also weighed in:

Well, again, I don’t take anything for granted, but hopefully with Pennsylvania’s help, she will be our next president, and yes, I do think she’ll be a better president."

WHAT YOU WON'T READ IN THE DEM (Defeatist, Elitist Media):

From Breitbart.com:

Charges against a US Marine allegedly involved in the killing of 24 Iraqi civilians in the town of Haditha were dropped on Friday ahead of his trial, the military said in a statement. A court martial for lance corporal Stephen Tatum had been due to start on Friday on charges of involuntary manslaughter, reckless endangerment and aggravated assault.

However in a statement released from the Marines Camp Pendleton base outside San Diego, the military said the charges had been dismissed "in order to continue to pursue the truth seeking process into the Haditha incident."

Just a bit of a clue: had the military possessed any real evidence against this Marine from the beginning, under the UCMJ he would have been hung out to dry and moved to Leavenworth forthwith. But likely the JAG-IC received specific prosecutory instructions from far above. Once again, our military bends and sways to the feminized political machinations from Washington.

BZ AKSZ FOR CONFUSER HEP:

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I received some very base instructions on how to remove programs that would cause a slow start-up in Windows XP, the OS in my HP Pavilion zd8000 laptop -- which is my primary confuser.

I went into the depths of my confuser, say, 6 or more months ago and clicked and unclicked a bunch of stuff that I cannot now recall. Imagine that. . .

In the meantime, my laptop makes me want to scream and throw it out the second story window. Essentially, every form of input and every physical manipulation made on this laptop is screwed up. The keyboard won't input every letter, won't make every space, won't move the cursor accurately, won't enable the first click on a field. And that has only been the case since I went into its depths and attempted to eliminate programs on Start-up. Quite frankly, I have no idea what I did. But I evidently did something; and it wasn't good.

Courtesy of Mrs. Lefkow's typing 7th grade typing class I have been measured at a rate of 13o wpm, which is "cooking with gas." I used to piss off my Homicide transcriber (and my P.O.S. female partner) because I spent time transcribing my own tapes made at crime scenes -- I soon learned that I was light-years ahead of Wanda, our secretary, because I was faster, more accurate and ultimately responsible for my own reports. So with that in mind, you can perhaps imagine my chagrin at having this stupid keyboard demand my backspacing on most every word.

My questions to those readers who are confuser/digital/HTML/internet/laptop/Microsoft savvy:

1. Is the problem with my HP Pavilion zd8000 laptop a matter of physicality? That is to say, its keyboard is shot, its fingerpad toast, its every manner of input wrecked?
2. Or, in the process of my stupidity did I somehow manage to eliminate some very important shit that controls each and every one of the things that I now complain about?
3. If #2 is correct, is the situation repair-able?
4. Or is it time to ditch this HP laptop?
   

"Help me Obi-Wan; you're my only hope!"
