Those waiting for a Super Delegate Frenzy

You're going to be disapointed.

If Super Delegates were going to move to Clinton they would have done so after her dramatic win in West Virginia. There was potential if a coup was in the works to do it then and make it look passable.

Tonight Barak Obama gets to show his base again, and remind people that Hillary Clinton's weakenesses are bigger than his own.

Right now, the pause in delegates have to do with giving Senator Clinton the space to exit with dignity. If there was an intention to give it to Clinton, they would be doing so to emphasise Senator Obama's weaknesses.

This is just political theater, that will go to the convention floor and just before, and will end with Senator Clinton's conditionless endoresement of Senator Obama.

Any other outcome destroy's Senator Clinton and weakens Senator Obama. While there may be arguments in favor of Weakening Obama, this weakening will not kill him, but will kill Clinton politically.

Love makes us do silly things, of course, but I think Hillary Clinton loves her party, and her country more than she loves herself.

Love, Sex, and Marriage

These men described in this story seem sad and empty and consumed with the lie that fullfilment comes from stuff and things and not from ones self.

Marriage is supposed to be a bonding of persons together for life to strengthen and support each other.

It is not about kids, it is not about sex, it is about compassion and support for one another.

Given that, eyes may wander, and mistakes may be made, but if one comes to the arrangement with a true heart, you struggle beyond each others weakenesses to streangthen each other.

If the fact that your wife has lost her sense of sexuality is a problem for you, discuss it with her, and if you find a medium ground, go to a strip club and come home. Don't whine to your drinking buddies about it, and for gods sake don't write a story about you and your friends failings as men!

The problem is not the lack of sex in these marriages, it is the lack of trust these men have in their relationships. If you're sneaking off to get your rocks off in dark secret shame, your not utilizing your wife for what her purpose is, and likely she's not using you for your purpose.

If you are a man, be a man, and talk to your wife. Not at your wife, to your wife, talk about her needs, and what she is missing in her life, and raise your issues as well.

You will likely find that she wants to have sex too, but is looking for more than what you've been offering (if you've been offering at all).

And then you can make the next 40 to 60 years of marriage truly something enjoyable instead of just jumping ship because marriage got hard.

Note Tounge In Cheek

All I can say is, thank goodness that we are most likely running the male candidate in this race, since the commonality of sexism in this country has shown us that there are simply those folks who will never vote for a woman no matter how experienced and qualified she may be.

Yep, it's a good thing that we dodged that bullet. I mean sure it's a crapy way to win, but we wouldn't want to run a candidate who is simply unelectable given the tenor of this country.

I likewise hope, that the superdelegates understand how unelectable Senator Clinton is due to her status as woman and use their great wisdom to throw their support behind the popular vote, and delegate winner (no doubt in large part because we are so very very sexist) Barak Obama. Afterall, we need to make sure we win this election, and given the level of sexism that exists in this country, can we really afford not to run a man?

It's an archive...

But it's a good one.

So I don't know the issue, all strips run archival pieces from time to time.

The whole last Way Lay series were archives, and even regular run strips in newspapers run archival pieces from time to time.

It's like reruns on T.V. just enjoy it.

In Highschool

The sex you want, is the sex you're not having...

When oral becomes a hand shake, then people will want something else to satisfy themselves.

Best advice, encourage kids to have all kinds of wild crazy dangerous sex, but forbid them to hold hands.

That'll teach 'em.
