Gonna be on vacation for a couple of days…

…the kids are old enough now that amusement parks, well, amuse. And it’s Easter Break, so we’re taking a few days off. Posting will not disappear, but I’ll be doing it from a Chromebook which will slow things down. So… everybody else get some fresh air, too? It’s going to be a beautiful couple of spring days, where I am.

Marco Rubio flashes the Hawaiian good-luck symbol from beyond the political grave.

Basically, he told the Alaska GOP that his delegates were NOT to be released to the other candidates. They remain his until the first ballot. And why is this of benign interest to people? Well

If Rubio had not lodged the request, then Trump and Cruz would have received an equal number of delegates in Alaska. Instead, the state party’s apportionment rules meant that Trump lost three delegates and Cruz lost two, which gave the Texas senator a 13-12 lead among Alaska delegates.

You think Trump wouldn’t have minded the sop of a sudden delegate tie in Alaska to distract people from the horrible week he’s having? Well, it ain’t gonna happen, now.  And it’s no skin off of Ted Cruz’s nose, either.  So, you know, good move there from Marco Rubio.

PS: Rubio’s also requesting that his name be taken off the California ballot. Every little bit helps.

So, just checking something about Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

I’m on Episode 10 or so of the first season, and I’ve noticed that when I look things up about the characters I get a lot of pages with spoiler warnings. I should not ignore those, right? I mean, I vaguely heard that some stuff went down, so I should assume that it was some pretty heavy stuff, right?
