Honolulu paper calling it for Bernie, when 88% of results were finally annunced. Looks like I should have gone with a Bernie sweep...

Wouldn't that be fun for politics-watchers everywhere, eh?

:-)

Was out working on the car... saw that WA got called.

It's interesting, because in state after state, it's not even close -- both ways. Either Bernie trounces Hillary, or she trounces him. Very few states have been all that close...

hey cw, since i know you're watching, care to speculate on what happens if bernie overtakes hillary on pledged delegates, superdelegates waver, trump can't get to 1,237, neither dem gets 2,383 and BOTH conventions are contested? not THAT far-fetched, right?

Results are already starting to trickle in. WA and AK are both going overwhelmingly for Bernie. Still less than 20% reported in both, though. HI won't be until very late...

nypoet22 and LizM -

The one that still gets me is Rolf Harris, personally. My parents had an album of his ("The Court Of King Coractacus" I believe), and his songs were so funny it was hard to deal with his sordid history...

"Behind the doorway the farmer stands / He has not gone out for some beer..." as well as the best version of "Waltzing Matilda" (with commentary) I've ever heard.

OK, has nothing to do with Canada, but had to throw it out there...

Sorry, I'm just not much into celebrity ... never have been.

In fact, when I am interested in, say a singer or an actor, who is not a celebrity but a good artist, I tend to lose interest should they ever become a celebrity.

Not my cup of tea, I guess ...

@liz,

agreed on karadzic.

ghomeshi was lead singer and songwriter of moxy fruvous, one of toronto's most beloved bands. it's practically on the level of bill cosby.

The only verdict that interested me this week was the one that found the former Bosnian Serb leader, Radovan Karadzic guilty of a host of war crimes, including genocide. He was sentenced to 40 years in prison, less time served since he was arrested in 2008. Which means he will die in prison if there is a shred of justice left in the world.

No opinion, whatsoever, as I know very little of him or his music or his legal case.

The broader issue is, of course, of concern to me, as it always was and always will be.

His case was just one of many and it is getting way too much attention, as far as I'm concerned.

Some of these cases are proven in a court of law and some are not. In any event, sometimes it is just hard to know who is guilty and who is innocent. That is how both of our legal systems work.

@liz,

as a canadian, any opinions of the not-guilty verdict for jian ghomeshi? the whole thing makes me sad - i used to love his music, but he appears to have gotten away with sexual assault.

I am serious.. The ONE thing left on my bucket list is FIRST CONTACT...

ANY candidate that says they will reveal all that is known about UFOs and ETs and I actually BELIEVE they will follow thru???

They would get my vote..

The reason why I can make this vow is that, once First Contact occurs, the world as we know it will end...

“If Donald Trump carries the banner of my party,” Graham said, “I think it taints conservatism for generations to come. I think his campaign is opportunistic, race-baiting, religious bigotry, xenophobia. Other than that, he’d be a good nominee.”

Lindsay Graham should have been a comedian.

I just found out comedian Garry Shandling has died. I watched his Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee episode maybe a week ago..ironically titled "It's Great Garry Shandling Is Still Alive." Well, not any more, but I think Shandling would appreciate the irony and he was noted for cringe comedy. Anyway, he essentially got to do his own obituary, and it's a good one, in a Porche 930, with his buddy Jerry. It's worth watching.
