Election day nausea

Sweet zombie Jesus, I'm glad I voted for Obama. In the run up to the to today's primaries, Hillary has decided that the way to win is to double down on the right-wing's war on expertise and science.

Meanwhile, her supporters are launching more thoughtful attacks, such as this one:

James Carville, meanwhile, said that if Hillary “gave [Obama] one of her cojones, they’d both have two.”

Stay classy!

Annals of strange behavior

While walking around this afternoon I came across a man standing on a street corner taking pictures. His camera was a lot like my dad's old Pentax, so naturally I looked at it pretty closely while waiting for the light to change. It had what looked like, at first glance, a long telephoto lens. But it wasn't! I guess you could call it a periscope lens. The glass at the end was fake. Or, rather, it was real glass but it wasn't a lens. Instead, there was an opening near the end with an angled mirror peeking through it. He was pretending to take pictures of something across the street, but was actually taking pictures of the people who stood next to him while waiting for the light to change. Odd.
