Where’s the Outrage?

Five in a row. I can’t even win five games of H-O-R-S-E against my brother in basketball. Again, Tiger Woods had a relatively bad opening round  with - 70. He was five strokes off the lead. Then he did what he does better than another athlete: He adjusts his game and improves. Sixty-eight for the second round. A pair of 66’s to close-out the tournament. A 25 foot shot won it for him.

From ESPN:

Tiger Woods studied his 25-foot birdie putt from every angle, convincing himself he could make it to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational because he had a similar putt in the same situation seven years ago at Bay Hill.

He wasn’t alone in his thinking.

Palmer stood behind the 18th green in his pink shirt and blue blazer, waiting to hand him the trophy. The King was joined by an army of fans who squinted into the late afternoon sun, all expecting Woods to continue a winning streak that began in September. (more…)

I find it funny that no one is really reporting that Barack Obama has won Texas. I have been trying to find out the results of the Texas Caucus. Yep, I knew Obama won but not by how much…

Hillary Clinton    44% 29 delegates

Barack Obama    56% 38 delegates.

From the Primary:
Hillary Clinton    51% 65 delegates

Barack Obama    47% 61 delegates

Now, if my math is correct, Obama received 99 delegates from Texas and Clinton got 94 delegates. Hello, where is this story?

Oh, and we need to take another look at Iowa and California. Earlier this month we learned that Obama picked up four additional delegates from California. Although, I find it hard to believe that Obama picked up some Iowa delegates (Obama is picking up some of Edward’s delegates. The exact number seems to be in question– four or seven.)

So, again, please someone explain to me how Clinton will win the Democratic nomination? Does the scenario include tying up any of Obama’s super-delegates and leaving them in the Capital? Does it include mass hypnosis?

I have a lecture to give in a couple of hours to a group of Black teenagers. I’m still trying to figure out what I would like to say. As I was surfing the internet for something, I came across this video. Now, I think that I’m on track.

Jay-Z. Show me what you got.
