Don’t Lie on Your Resume [Current Events Cheat Sheet]

The chief executive of Yahoo has resigned after it was discovered that he lied on his resume. Tsk, tsk. Even  know that’s a bad idea.   Scott Thompson falsely claimed that he had received a degree in Computer Science, when no such thing had ever happened. Thompson had only held the position for four months, and struggling Yahoo is in no position to deal with such a scandal. On the other hand, couldn’t a simple Yahoo search have avoided such an error?

McCain’s Vice-Presidential Pick – Romney or Palin?

Once thought a longshot, Republican Alaskan Senator Sarah Palin is now on a plane to potentially stand at McCain’s side. Also leavin’ on a jetplane is Mass’s Mormon Mitt Romney. Ohhhhhhh the tension is killing me, but we have received some great insights from interns that we know who work at some real publications.

If Obama had tapped (politically speaking) Hillary Clinton, Mitt Romney would be the VP bid to try and match her fund-raising firepower. Since Joe Biden is in, the Republicans can now pick a female VP and look (and this is a direct quote), “progressive in the ever-changing political landscape where all citizens have equal representation and a global voice.” Gosh, I wish I could write pretty like that.

As voters in South Dakota and Montana finish voting tonight in the last democratic primary of the election, “Hillary Clinton: Will She or Won’t She?” remains the question of the hour.

According to the LA Times blog “Top of the Ticket”, the 3 factoids seem to point towards the later.

  • 1. Clinton announced on Monday that she would spend Tuesday night in New York City instead of Montana or South Dakota.
  • 2. Her husband Bill told a rally in South Dakota that, “this may be the last day I’m ever involved in a campaign of this kind. I thought I was out of politics, till Hillary decided to run. But it has been one of the greatest honors of my life to go around and campaign for her for president.”
  • 3. A Clinton spokesman told the Politico that many members of the advance team are being sent home because, “we just haven’t figured out our schedule past Tuesday”
  • Hmmmm…. Stay tuned for further updates.

    7:01pm Sixteen superdelegates have announced their support for candidate Barack Obama including former President Jimmy Carter. Obama now only needs 10 delegates to clinch the nomination.

    9:05 According to TV networks and Reuters, Barack Obama is set to claim the democratic nomination for the 2008 presidential election. He is merely 4 delegates short of the requisite 2,118 needed and is sure to pick these up from today’s primaries in Montana and South Dakota. The democratic primaries award delegates on a proportional basis.

    9:15 In South Dakota, with 14% of the precincts reporting Hillary Clinton leads Obama 8,349 votes to 6,704.

    9:45Clinton is the projected winner in South Dakota with 31% of the precincts reporting.

    10:00 In her victory speech, Senator Clinton praised her opponent for an extraordinary race but noticeably failed to concede his overall win. She told the crowd “I will be making no decisions tonight.

    10:25 Obama addressed supporters in St. Paul Minnesota stating, “Tonight, I can stand before you and say that I will be the Democratic nominee for President of the United States.”

    So, dear readers, the night is drawing to a close and lets face it, so is the democratic primary. The next few days are sure to be full of debates as to just when and how Clinton lost her front-runner status to a newcomer from Chicago but for now lets savor the moment.

    Congrats Obama!!!
