I tried to practice omphaloskepsis, but it only led to lint picking.

I tried doing omphaloskepsis once and had a vision of St. Peter.

Apparently he spent some time there working the nine voters.

I really don’t see what would make anyone pick him. He’s managed to tick off all sides by expanding Medicare in his state unilaterally while claiming that his religion forces him to do it.

That is something entirely different. Keep your attention a little higher up.

For me omphaloskepsis always leads to hunger.

Good advice.

I have some for you.

Seek transcendence and not trans fat. :-)

I will have you know I have been on a carb free diet for 3 months. Lost 20 pounds and ended my need for insulin. Did not get there by navel gazing, however.
Transcendence has always been a problem for me. Since early childhood I have experienced myself as firmly planted on the earth.

Three to two for Mr. Trump and Governor Kasich actually made the trek to that remote hamlet to personally smooch the backside of each voter.

Good news the Republicans had 5 voters to the Democrats 4.

Yeah, if Kasich could actually visit the home of every single voter in the country...

He'd win. Unless he stays too long, in which case he'd then lose.

So if you add up the votes of the three early voting towns you come up with Trump 9, Cruz 9, Kasich 9.

9-9-9

Somewhere old Herman Cain is smiling.
