Okay, people, it looks like after Super Tuesday, it will be a close heat between Obama and Clinton for the Democratic Nomination. It looks as if, according to MSNBC, the results at the end of the counting will be Obama will be ahead 838 delagates to Clinton’s 834. The race is mostly close because of Hilary winning the two states with the most delagates: California and New York. New York is Hilary's old stomping grounds for Congress, so it's no surprise she won there. However, California? Seriously? The young, hip candidate didn't win California?
Now, I am an Obama supporter. What it comes down to for me are his green policies. He supports a shift to nuclear energy, which will reduce CO2 emissions, slowing the progression of global warming. However, moreover, this is just another instance in which California is out to get me. Here are a couple of other reasons me and Cali don't get along.

However, moreover, this is just another instance in which California is out to get me. Here are a couple of other reasons me and Cali don't get along.
1) The O.C. and young stars of Hollywood.
Let's talk about Laguna Beach and my Super Sweet 16. If these were the representations of America I saw from another country, I would hate it, too. Spoiled litte brats who do nothing but whine about how their Mercedes was the wrong color. Or how about Lindsay, Paris, and Britney? The media does nothing but fascinate themselves with these people's lives, encouraging them to do stupid and more stupid things. It's ridiculous.
2) Happy cheese comes from happy cows in California.
Screw you, it comes from Wisconsin. Are you trying to cripple our economy? Without dairy, all we have is beer, and St. Louis is trying their best to deprive us of thriving off of that. I take that back. We'd still have FIB's that would give us their money at Summerfest and Brewers games. But there's only so much rich suburbanites can do.
3) Sports teams.
Okay, part of this is jealousy, but much of it is hatred. I mean, colleges like UCLA and USC attract all the stars because of their warm weather and beautiful women. And what, they have like 184 MLB, NFL, NHL, and NBA teams. Hey, here's an idea: Give the state that's gettint 10-14 inches of snow as we speak a hockey team rather than giving the one that's 80 degrees year-round three.
4) Coasties.
Stop sending us your rich, your spoiled, your lazy. Please. They influence girls around here to start acting like them. Basically, people wear Uggs, huge sunglasses, North Face jackets, big purses, and leggings to stand out, but after a while they just blend in.
5) I'm jealous of the music scene.
It really isn't fair. No band in their right mind would not tour to California if they had the chance. I mean, there's 3 billion people in one state, massive amounts of media, and musical history. Plus, many of the bands I love come from California, and since many of them are small, they end up playing many of their shows in the same area, namely the Velvet Teen. If i want to see a good concert, many times I have to travel to Chicago, and who wants to go to that dump?
There you go, five reasons California is ruining my life.
Thus, the song of the day today will come from a band from across the seas, The Kooks. They are English. It is obvious that they are heavily influenced by the Police, resulting in reggae-infused rock. Check out their debut LP "Inside In the Inside Out". The song of the day is "Eddie's Gun".

chicago is an awesome city.
brooklyn has a better music scene.
so does england.
wrigley north.
lol all those are true. i didn't say cali has the best music scene. and chicago is a great place to go see music, i just wish milwaukee attracted more artists. to be fair, madison occasionally gets good indie acts because we've got some history, like smart studios, garbage, rainer maria, various labels, etc. i would love to live in chicago, though, for the music scene, i just wouldn't want to live in that big of a city where moving around is so hard.
