Japan's first Commoner Crown Princess in a 1,000 years is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow, by Caesarian section, of the first male heir-presumptive to be born to the Imperial Family in four decades.  We know this (the sex of the child) because the Crown Prince indiscreetly told a friend what ultra-sound scanning has revealed: A fetus with a penis.  Hip hip hooray!  Already, support among commoners for revision of the law to allow the accession of female fetuses is down from eighty to sixty per cent.

El Obama is trouncing la Clinton, even among superdelegates, who, by privilege apparently incontestable, will make up a fifth of the delegates to the up-coming Democratic National Convention.  The Huffington Post is the only national news-source to say outright that the chief reason for Ms. Clinton's unpopularity is her unprincipled support of the Bush/Halliburton junta's "War" on Iraq, and that the chief reason for Obama's popularity is that he opposed it.  From the beginning.  If this (the Blanket Silence of the rest of the national news-sources about the differences between la Clinton's and el Obama's position on the "war") is not proof of a Vast and Evil Conspiracy, what is?
