If I only had a shirt

I wanted to watch the Pennsylvania Primary unfold last night but political analysts (who surprisingly reprise their roles as journalists during off election years) have spoiled my excitement for this election. Without a doubt, if I was 18 and human, I would vote for Hillary Clinton. But to watch the news coverage—journalists-turned-pundits—begrudgingly report her leads in polls only to eschew the notion that she may actually win, makes me want to cough up the bird I ate for lunch.

By 10 p.m., news outlets basically called Clinton the marginal winner (who happened to have a 10 percent lead over Obama) and added that MATHEMATICALLY SHE CAN'T WIN. The numbers just don't add up, they assured viewers. Need I remind the Super Delegates what happened the last time the popular vote was ignored.

Back to my abode, which will be walled up with my fur once this shedding season is over—the youngest of my human pack had to take a recycled item to school in honor of Earth Day. The old bat put a Vote For Hillary pin on her shirt, which pleased the little thing almost as much as it did me.
