On the night of the North Carolina and Indiana primary, this is what I learned:

I learned that there were an awful lot of Hillary supporters at her “victory party’ last night who wished they were somewhere else.

I learned that watching John King of CNN playing with that stupid media board was the same as watching an overactive child on amphetamines.  It made me uncomfortable to watch.

I learned that Obama is going to be the Democratic nominee.  As the late Chick Hearn used to say at the end of every Laker victory: “The refrigerator door is closed, the egg are cooling, the butter is getting hard and the Jell-O is jiggling!”

I learned that “American Idol” doesn’t seem to have the same buzz it used to have.

I learned that there are still a lot of dumb people who are willing to vote against their own interests.

I learned that George Stephanopoulos used up whatever credibility as a journalist he had during the Pennsylvania debate and lost his balls during the “Town Hall Meeting” with Hillary. All he’s got left is a good head of hair.

I learned it’s going to be a long season for the Mets if Carlos Beltran doesn’t start hitting.

I learned that my favorite show “Boston Legal” was moved to Wednesday nights.

I learned that if Hillary has this much trouble managing the money during the campaign, how the hell is she going to manage the economy?

I learned that Chris Matthews flip-flops more than the flip-floppers he accuses of flip-flopping.

I learned that the race card is not going to work in the general election.

I learned that I feel a lot better now there seems to be an end to this destructive primary.
