Also Notable Today

Not only is it Earth Day, but it's also the end of the six weeks of hell we've all known as the Pennsylvania Primary.

Today, the good citizens of PA will vote, and no matter the outcome, we will all be able to at least thank them for bringing this sordid sham affair to an end. If I ever see two crusty intellectuals try to pretend they actually like being in Pittsburgh ever again, it will be too soon.

And, if you want election results, here's the official state results page.

I can't guarantee you it will have up-to-the-minute info like the news sites, but I can guarantee that it won't have any overbearing blowhards or underqualified blondes beating you over the head with their spins, flips and other dizzying ways of taking the news and turning it into "news."

EDIT: Speaking of "news," Drudge is (re: was) reporting that exit polls show Obama only losing by 4%. Take that for what it is. I'm not going to give political insight or comment until I see hard numbers, but the fact remains that Drudge is claiming the exit polls show a 4% win for Hillz in PA.

EDIT: This is why I don't take "news" seriously. Hillz won by 9%. Not 4 (and not 10 either).
