Hello dear readers.
To be honest with you, I didn't watch anything about the "Super Tuesday" vote (I was much more inerested in watching House), so I didn't know anything about the results until about an hour ago.
The only thing I can think of is: Dewey Defeats Truman
It has been reported that HRC sent out a press release saying that it was a big night for her in Missouri (after the AP called it for her)only to have the vote go the other way. While I do blame the media for calling states too early, everyone should learn from 1948 and never say anything before all the votes are in.
But then.....how would cable news fill 23 hours of the day??????

A Little non-UUA Regional Stuff
Before I get started on an introduction and explanation as to why I am Anonymous, I thought I would talk about some non-UUA stuff happening in the area.
For those of you readers who don't know much about the Central Midwest District, it encompasses all of Illinois, most of Wisconsin, the eastern third of Missouri and a little bit of Indiana. Depending on where in the district you are, you live nearer to one of the two big cities: Chicago (the really big city) or St. Louis (the big enough city). On the map I am closer to St. Louis.
In St. Louis there's been a big to-do over the city's fire department. It seems that on the most recent test for people interested in becoming firemen 670 of 833 people failed. Before some emails were uncovered, there had been the suggestion that the results and the tossing out of the test was not due, in part to race. Oh, but what a wonderful thing email is; turns out that race was a MAJOR factor in both the results and the tossing out of the test. Seems like the demoted Chief was right.
If you're interested in these kinds of things, go to http://www.stltoday.com/ and put the words "fire department" in the search engine and you'll get more than you'll ever want to see.
