Once again Austin proves itself to be the best city in America, this time by having the Alamo Drafthouse do a showing of the classic 80's videogame movie, The Wizard, with Fred Savage doing a Q&A afterwards. And then I got to get his, the guy who played Jimmy, and the director's autographs on a cool specially created poster for the event (and the poster glows in the dark!) And of course get my photo taken with the cast and director. From right to left, it's Jimmy, Me, Fred Savage, and the director.
So Super Duper Tuesday has come and passed, with Obama doing quite well and winning more states and staying close/winning the delegate count, depending on whose numbers you want to believe. And now we swept the 4 states that had primaries this weekend, and is expected to do well on Tuesday, so his campaign is picking up speed.
Plus the guy picked up his second Grammy Award tonight, this time for his spoken word album, The Audacity of Hope, which is the audio version of his best selling book. I've heard amazing things about both his books, I really ought to buy them.
Here's an interesting video explaining Obama's positions on healthcare.
In some really what-universe-am-I-in news, super conservative Rush Limbaugh is raising money for Hillary because "We've got make sure she's the nominee if the Republican Party is to be unified." and "If Obama is the nominee, we are doomed". Lends an good argument to the electibility angle anyways..
One of the interesting bills Obama has headed was the one that created usaspending.gov, which provides in great detail exactly where all your federal tax dollars are going towards. for example $33 million to low income housing.
