he beat mccain by $20 million.

last night was a great night for history, it was a great night for americans, and a great night for american PR (public relations). i have experienced first hand the hatred of americans felt by most of the rest of world having traveled overseas this year. people liked me a lot more when they thought i was from singapore (???) than when they found out i am an american. in hindsight, i shouldn’t have corrected their erroneous guess as to which country i traveled from. live and learn. 
anyway, these democratic primaries and the election of barack obama as the democratic presidential candidate will improve the the current PR of america overseas. for the first time in a really long time, i can say i am proud to be an american and i am proud of the american political process.
at the same time, i am dismayed by hillary’s response as well as some of her supporters. i’ve been impatient with the clinton campaign since they have mathematically lost the election a few months ago yet still continued their campaign trail but decided to keep to myself out of respect. i thought her relentlessness in the face of defeat was self-indulgent and divisive toward the party. however, this is getting ridiculous. at the same time, some of her followers are even worse: they are still crying over how she was supposedly treated during this campaign. god, talk about a bunch of cry babies. they are weakening the democratic party and they make women look bad in general. luckily, a majority of clinton supporters have expressed that they would vote for obama if she didn’t win the nomination.
there is at least one exception: i heard this lady on the radio today who was a clinton supporter say that she used to be a liberal democrat until she heard about obama’s former pastor and now has converted to be an ultra conservative and will be voting for mccain.
draw your own conclusions.

my choice for the stud of the week for the week beginning june 1st is democratic presidential nominee barack obama. this afternoon he has clinched the 2,118 delegate votes necessary to win the nomination. hrc has finally conceded delivered a selfish, defiant speech and i hope she doesn’t get on the ticket as vice president for all my reasons for not wanting her as president. i hope the democratic party will finally be united once again under the official presidential nominee and i hope democratic voters, inspired by obama’s rallying leadership, will continue to come out in record numbers in november.
x-posted from http://www.prach.org/blogwhat up, dudes? lots of things to cover today so let’s get started!
first of all i have some beauty reviews.
I don’t know if you remember last week when i said i was gonna start trying to look more presentable at work. well, i stayed true to 2/3 of my mission. i did my own nails to save money and i wore make-up every single day of the week. i don’t think that’s happened in years. the only thing i failed to do was stop wearing jeans. i really really failed. not only did i continue to wear jeans but i stopped wearing nice sweaters and nice shoes and instead went back to wearing sweatshirts, hoodies with converse sneakers, nikes and uggs. 
bad, bad prach. lazy prach.
wow, that was a long tangent. anyway, back to the point. i bought three adorable bottles of essie nail polish last week (happily ever after, cabi-o-lait, and no pre-nup) and the OPI topcoat. i am not the type to do my nails (only a couple times a year) so i am not dainty with my hands and this nail polish did an excellent job of withstanding the wear and tear i put it through. i like essie better than OPI now because of the better color selection.
a couple of months ago i left my usual shiseido the skincare facial cleanser to try murad. this stuff is okay but definitely not worth the price. i am never buying this shit again. shiseido is about the same price and it works so much better. murad isn’t bad, it’s just not worth the high price.
today i am trying two new makeup products: l’oreal infalliable and cover girl’s lash blast. i’ll write a detail review sometime soon.
so i was in an unusually great mood on monday morning (normally i am a miserable grumpy mess). i checked my work email as i always did and in my inbox was an open invitation to the faculty to play in the faculty basketball game. we will be playing against some D-list celebs from Power 106. unfortunately, my good mood overtook me and i signed up like a moron. this morning, i was back to my usually grumpy I-hate-everyone-and-I-hate-mornings self and i retracted my email saying that i was gonna play in the basketball game because i’m probably going to end up with no points, no rebounds, no assists, and 20 turnovers. the basketball coach wrote back saying my students would probably love to see me and it isn’t about ability but just having fun but it’s up to me. that email made me feel like a sorry sport so now i’m torn. part of me wants to do it because it seems fun and i like to try new things but part of me would be just as happy spending a quiet evening alone relaxing. any advice? please! i don’t know what i should do!
finally, i started out being neutral as far as the democratic candidates went and then i started favoring obama. now, i’m beginning to get tired of hilary’s dishonest and malicious campaigning ways. its seems like every time i turn around she tells another lie.
bosnia
heathcare story
foreign policy “experience”
she also said something about obama’s race helping him with this campaign but i can’t find the article on that now so i’ll just put up this video instead as an example of the dirty dirty mudslinging that goes on regularly in the clinton campaign:
finally, i want to end on a good note. I hope the democratic superdelegates would man up and just support obama. they are supposed to represent the voice of the people and the people have spoken.
