Wishful thinking backfires?

CJ asks: "Blue Collar Voters Bailing on Obama in IN and NC?"

Woops. Obama won NC and lost IN by a massive 2 points. Though you wouldn't know it from LGF cos Charles didn't think it worth updating his readers on the final results.

Oh, be serious. You'd have to be living in a cave not to know the outcome of yesterday's primaries. LGF is primarily commentary, not the 5 pm local news. Besides, in his last update, CJ does mention that Obama is leading overall.

I could point out that you call yourselves LGFWatch, yet you comment on hardly 10% of the items that get posted there. There's a lot a person "would never know" about LGF if they took you as a reliable guide.

More evidence again that you and CJ are just flip sides of the same coin -- bickering like a married couple, although lately it seems like he can live without you more easily that you can live without him.

Anyway, the point was that despite his victories, Obama does poorly among blue-collar whites, and that could be a huge issue in the national election.

We do have real lives, you know. For me personally, blogging about the idiocy of some d00d from California is just a pastime on the internet, which is just another pastime in itself.

"There's a lot a person "would never know" about LGF if they took you as a reliable guide."

Which is why we provide links to the stuff we blog on, so that people can go see for themselves what's going on there. But we'll let you know, the day we change the name from "LGF Watch" to "The ultimate guide to just about everything on LGF".

Y'all keep saying that. All it amounts to is that you're not capable of doing a very good job of "watching" LGF. Which begs the question of why you should bother doing any of it in the first place. Really, if you want to spend some of that oh-so-precious limited free time you have, why engage in this pointless mockery? It only makes you look petty.

You're very welcome to send in tips you think worthy of posting. If you don't have anything, you might as well take your bickering elsewhere.
