Barack Obama narrowed Hillary Clinton’s superdelegate lead, which was previously 200-something, to just 1, virtually locking him into the Democratic nomination. Too bad no one’s told Hillary yet:

Obama closed to within one superdelegate of Clinton, picking up the support of four party leaders after a flurry of new endorsements over the past two days. Clinton, meanwhile, picked up the votes of two superdelegates but lost one to Obama.

That brings Clinton’s superdelegate total to 273 and Obama’s to 272. At the beginning of the year, Clinton led the superdelegate race by more than 100. […]

Obama holds a commanding lead in the number of pledged delegates awarded from primaries and caucuses: 1,592 to Clinton’s 1,424.

Its been an interesting nomination process that has been drawn out way too long. But enough is enough. Its time to take on McCain and take back the White House.

Saturday Night Live had it right in their opening sketch featuring Amy Pohler as Hillary Clinton. Clinton is holding on when no other candidate would have. She’s a sore loser and her time is over. Drop out, Hillary, drop out!

I really enjoy taking photographs. And I have more than one digital camera that enables me to do so.

And since a couple of people (Jill, ahem) who regularly read this site have suggested (ie- insisted) that I include more posts about what I do in my life, I’ve decided to quote a conversation about how I got into photography.

You might find this interesting, as I’ve never told anybody (ever!) this story, until now:

I came to photography from more of a journalistic background (that was my major). I started out documenting events for newspapers and websites, but what really pushed me into photography was 9/11. Cause I was in my dorm room when it happened and one of my first thoughts was to document the event (after the inital shock).

But I didn’t have a digital camera then, and I only had a disposable with 2 exposures left. I used them, but I realized that day that I needed to be better prepared.

Ever since then, I always have a camera on me — either in my pocket, in my car, or at work. At first it was for “just in case” purposes, but then, since I had cameras all over all of the time, I started taking more and more photos of everything. And I love it now. I can’t stop shooting, heh.

Its sort of interesting that my experience on 9/11 turned my life upside-down (and I don’t just mean photographically) and my site layout right now is that upside-down city skyline. Strange, isn’t it? But what in life isn’t…

#31 Jeff Burton won the Food City 500 at the always crazy Bristol Motor Speedway Sunday, after a late wreck by #20 Tony Stewart in the last two laps:

When Hamlin’s fuel pickup burped in Turn 4 of the next-to-last lap, it set up a 1-2-3 finish for Richard Childress Racing teammates Burton, Harvick and Bowyer on the .533-mile concrete short track that was resurfaced before the August race last year.

The Childress drivers also benefited when Harvick took out the race’s dominant car, Tony Stewart’s No. 20 Toyota, on Lap 498 to set up the two-lap run to the finish. After a restart on Lap 496, Hamlin passed Stewart for the lead. A lap later, in Turn 1, Harvick nosed inside Stewart, slid up into the No. 20 and sent Stewart spinning into the Turn 2 wall.

Stewart had led 267 laps to that point but had to settle for a 14th-place finish. It was the third consecutive spring race at Bristol where Stewart led the most laps, yet failed to win.

SMOKE UPDATE: Tony Stewart led 267 laps at Bristol, but was forced into a 14th-place finish due to the careless driving of #29 Kevin Harvick. Stewart and Harvick may be friends off the track, but as a #20 fan, I can admit I let out more than one expletive as I saw Smoke turned around with 2 laps left. Can’t Home Depot Racing catch a break this season?

Next up, the Goody’s Cool Orange 500 at Martinsville Speedway a week from Easter Sunday.

Stracka.com is a social network for golfers that allows golfers of any level to connect and discuss their game through the site.

Imagine going to your favorite golf course and having the advice of hundreds of other golfers who have played the course to help you plan your shots. That’s the idea behind Stracka.com — A Social Network for Golfers.

In some ways, the site offers features similar to those on general social network sites like MySpace or Facebook. And its just as easy to use.

When you sign up, they provide you with a blog and the ability to upload photos of you in your favorite golf pants.

There are also forums on a variety of topics to discuss everything from perfecting your swing to tips on how to navigate the water hazards on a particular course.

The site not only allows you to make a profile listing to share your favorite courses and handicap, but it also provides dynamic golf course maps using Google Earth technology.

And you can take the custom course yardage maps with you by downloading them from the site. If you have a smartphone like the AT&T Tilt, that means you can download the maps to your cellphone and use them while your golfing, which will certainly change your game!

There are also thousands of user reviews for both public and private courses so golfers can find the next course they want to take on, whether it be around town or one to visit while on vacation.

With the course maps, advice from other golfers, and ability to connect with people that play the same courses you do, Stracka.com will likely provide the edge golfers need to improve their game.

Now if only someone would create a social network site for bowlers, I’d be all set. Especially since I usually end up with the same scores while playing both sports…

Maybe you heard Sen. John McCain laughing and singing “Bomb Iran” as a cover of a Beach Boys song several months ago.

Or maybe you heard his “maybe 100 years” quote on the campaign trail in reference to a question about staying in Iraq open-endedly.

Well, either way, you haven’t seen this — let’s call it a musical tribute by McCain — brought to you by Brave New Films:

Now that’s a hit! Can’t wait for him to lose in November… Does he really think he can win by campaigning on extending the Iraq War? Geez.

#99 Carl Edwards won the Auto Club 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup race Monday, edging out #48 Jimmie Johnson and his teammate #24 Jeff Gordon:

Under blue skies Monday, some 21 hours after the race had started, Carl Edwards put the finishing touches on the rain-delayed Auto Club 500 at beleaguered Auto Club Speedway.

After caution flew on the final lap for Dale Jarrett’s spin, Edwards crossed the finish ahead of runner-up Jimmie Johnson and Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jeff Gordon, who atoned for disappointing finishes in the Feb. 17 Daytona 500.

SMOKE UPDATE: Tony Stewart scored a top 10 finish, picking up a handful of spots in the final laps to finish 7th, keeping him in third place in the standings.

Next up, the UAW-Dodge 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speeday on Sunday.
