Crazy happenings all over the news!

Ok, I came across this article on the BBC website and it freaked me out to no end (especially the image attached. Yikes!)

Then there's this tragic and rediculous drag race which ends in the death of 8 kids.

Not to mention the fact that the guy who went on a killing spree in Dekalb, Illinois this week was well-liked, social, and didn't listen to Marylin Manson or practice Satanism, which just makes the whole thing even more baffling than it already is.

On top of this, (and acting as a counterpart to my previous entry on the Republicans), there's a really interesting debate going on about the Democratic superdelegates. The theory I've heard going around is that if the delegate count is too close to call, the superdelegates will choose Clinton because she is closer to the party machine. The Dems have been circulating lately that they don't want to go against public opinion (which I think is code for, "if it's too close to call we might vote Obama because people seem to really really like him"), which got me thinking: supposing the decision does come down to the superdelegates. If popular opinion is so close to 50/50 on either candidate, would a nomination by superdelegates so disillusion party members nation-wide that they refuse to vote for the nominee in the general election? Just thinking out loud, here.
