		<description>&lt;p&gt;Oh, swell. The news just gets better and better.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the interests of full disclosure, I am registered to vote in Florida.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After the Democrats pissed and moaned about Bush winning the election here with lawyers, not votes, Democratic Party lawyers now say party rules call for Florida and Michigan to lose at least half their delegates at the convention. Which means Florida and Michigan &lt;b&gt;gain half their delegates at the convention.&lt;/b&gt; Which violates the party rules that said “hold the primary after this date or lose your delegates.” I don’t see much ambiguity there.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That said, Billary will probably appeal whatever decision comes down with a credentials fight at the convention.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Huh.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anybody else smell another Supreme Court battle?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Agents for change my furry white patootie. This is politics as usual with the pols remaking the rules whenever they want.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"The unkept promises are corrosive,” Ms. Clinton said. I could not agree more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bye Bye Billary. Bye Bye Dems.&lt;/p&gt;
