What Now?
Have Pennsylvanians really changed anything in this race? Rounding up to a 10 delegates earned in a single digit ten-point victory, Clinton is still claiming this as an important win, a mandate to continue until the convention in August. She will also still try to keep Michigan and Florida on the ballot and attempt to give credence to the argument that Pennsylvania will be a battleground State that only she can win come November. If all else fails, the longer she stays in this race, the easier it will be to secure a VP nomination.
In the coming weeks, if not days, we will begin to hear very audible and serious calls for her to concede. Enter the Clinton supporters, championing her to stay on. This will be ugly, if not entertaining.
Norman Mailer: Classic Novelist, Master Swordsman
It appears that aside from being one of the greatest novelists of the 20th Century, Norman Mailer was also quite the stud.
Harvard University, Mailer’s alma mater and a shinning paradigm of academe, has apparently reached a new low, dredging the bottom of the shithouse ’til metal scraped wood as the school purchased an entire collection of writing that chronicled the novelist’s epic philandering.
Awesome.
Included in the purchase is a 20-page sex-scene detailed by Mailer’s mistress, Carole Mallory, with whom he had an affair during his sixth marriage, and her unpublished novel based on their unscrupulous relations, according to the New York Post.
Harvard, now a manifest player in the porn industry, is said to have purchased the material after Mailer snubbed the administration by selling his archives to the University of Texas for $2.5 million. Great googly-moogly.
