"'Mrs. Clinton has told me to reserve her right to take this to the Credentials Committee' at the convention, said Ickes, who is a member of the Rules Committee that voted Saturday.
"The resolution increased the number of delegates needed to clinch the nomination to 2,118, leaving Obama just 66 delegates away from the majority needed to secure the nomination.
"'Our main goal is to get this resolved so we can focus on winning Michigan and Florida," Obama said while campaigning in South Dakota. 'There were compromises. ... I'm glad the DNC worked it through and I hope we can start focusing on substance as opposed to process.'" [AP]
Finally, our tech team produced a cocky, scrawny teen at Gawker HQ who admitted he started the whole problem by hacking our system to play "Thermo-Celebrity Snarkular War," which is not a game but a training and learning program that is hardwired into our Scientology Defense System. He triggered an attack, by us, on TomKat, that hot chick from The King of Queens, and the furry-headed kid from That 70's Show.
Just as all hell was about to be break loose, he challenged WOPR to a game of Tic-Tac-Toe, thinking that it would run the game a thousand times, realize that it is impossible to win, and shut itself down. Instead, it learned that no one at Gawker Media even knows how to play tic-tack-toe. After seven games, WOPR said, "You dudes are fucking 'tarded! I'm so outta here!" And the crisis was over.
So please log back in, resume commenting, and our regularly scheduled programming shall begin anew.

"Would you want to set up explosives so that pretty much anything you did would make them go off? It's just like guessing and cutting one of the wires in the movies: Nobody would survive using that technique for very long, including Keamy and his crew. The whole training of a bomb tech is to work safely with explosives, not dangerously. There are too many ways to mess it up. Also, I'm pretty sure that C4 isn't conductive, which it would need to be to set up its wiring as a resistance feedback loop that could tell if you started to pull out the detonators. And if freezing the battery works, why not just disconnect it? Oh, right, the monitored feedback loop. But wait, C4 isn't conductive ... never mind.
"Though the explosion looked about right in terms of size, it was a bit slow—high explosives happen at over 20,000 ft. per second. Plus, any explosion that you would survive happens silently—you see it before you hear it. But movies and TV never do that. Plus, C4 lets off with a much more concussive ka-whump than they ever are able to show in the movies.
"As to what the heck is going on: I used to think that the survivors were in purgatory, mostly because of "The Man in Tallahassee"—the idea of Locke's father showing up on the island was too bizarre. But after last night's space-time-travel extravaganza, I've given up on the purgatory idea, 'cause you can't get a compass heading out of purgatory—or else the Vatican would have had a cruise line running it eons ago.
"We know that the island has some "interesting" properties regarding time and space. We know that dead people—hello, Christian Shepherd!—can appear for real there. So how about the soul? It's kind of like trying to look for the physics of being in love. (Speaking of which, I loved that Desmond and Penny finally found each other!) Perhaps the writers posit that the island exists on a plane between both space and time, and that this plane, this rift (that causes the weird temporal anomalies, and the polar bears, etc.), also taps into certain sensitive peoples' psyches?"

Despite rampant reports to the contrary, the Jolie-Pitt offspring count is at four, and holding.
Angelina Jolie's manager, Geyer Kosinski, told E! News that stories of the actress..."Clinton aides are also quick to point out that after the Democratic National Committee's rules and bylaws panel meets on Saturday to work out a compromise to the long-running dispute over Michigan and Florida, more than 2,026 delegates will be needed to secure the nomination. The two states violated party rules by holding primaries ahead of schedule in January and were stripped of their delegates to the August convention." [WSJ]
