The News
Hello, LJers!
I have now been in my internship for one week and am still alive, which is encouraging. Part of my job is to keep an eye on the trail blazed by good ol' gal Hillary Clinton, who has now conceeded to Barack Obama:

INTERNATIONAL: Hillary Clinton finally ready to throw in the towel

The presidential hopes of Hillary Clinton will be officially over today but her future remains unclear.
The wife of the former President will formally endorse Democratic rival Barack Obama in a speech to supporters in Washington.
It will come four days after Obama clinched the nomination - a hard-fought battle that created rifts party leaders hope Clinton's public show of support will heal.
The two US senators met privately on Thursday night to discuss the campaign. Neither has given any details of their talk.
Obama is under pressure from Clinton's supporters to offer her the vice presidency.
Clinton distanced herself from efforts by supporters pushing for Obama to choose her, but has told politicians she would be interested in the vice presidential nomination.
Crazy, huh? So now America has our first ever black presidential nominee of a major party, and the world is taking notice. I've found articles written about this decision in papers from Britain, France, Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, even Singapore, Malaysia, China, Korea--it's interesting to see how much the rest of the world keeps an eye on the U.S. political forecast.
Are you voting in November? I am. Be sure to at least know who your candidates are.
Also, try to stay dry if you're in the midwest. South of Indianapolis got about 10 inches of rain on Saturday alone. It's nuts out there, especially considering that region is now about 15 inches over what they need in terms of rainfall and North Carolina is in a severe drought.
Must get back to work. Just found that information interesting. Have a quiz and a great rest of the day, friends.
You are fun and unique.
Your parents should have named you...
