Okay, the Google is failing me. Can someone tell me if I have to use cupcake liners when baking, or can I just spray Pam on the pan?

I suppose I should join the DNC ruling wankbait bandwagon...

Okay, I think it is unDemocratic (in both uses of the word) to take away the vote of two states. It does disenfranchise the people.

But here is where I wanna bitchslap the Clinton campaign. For Michigan, Obama wasn't even on the ballot. He wasn't on the ballot because Michigan wasn't supposed to count. I do not give a flying fuck how many times the Clinton surrogates hold up the affadavits and say taking his name off the ballot was a voluntary decision- it was an uninformed decision because who would have thought someone would actually challenge the ruling later on.

So no, HRC, it wasn't fair and nothing you say will make it fair.

Also, this is tossing aside the rules the DNC set in place to punish states. Now, there is going to be a powerful precedent that any punishment put on the states is merely a temporary measure. What will stop states from starting the next run of primaries in December next time?

In conclusion: I will be thrilled when Obama wins the nod anyway.
