Talk about annoying. The only other thing that isn't as annoying as life's many challenges is the fact that we live in a country with powerful media. Don't get me wrong, living in a democratic country is a privilege and the kind of thing you got to live up to, like standards. But it seems the media has no standards, sometimes.
Whole story summarized: Ahem, we don't care that much.

Eighteen is often the age of promise.
It signifies the beginning of adult life and many new privileges. Licenses no longer restrict 18-year-olds from driving after 11 p.m.; they can sign for their own piercing and tattoos; they can declare themselves independent.

Obama: 1,386 delegates
Clinton: 1, 273 delegates
Some other things to ponder:
According to an anchor on CNN, Texas talk radio seems to be encouraging Texan republicans to vote for Clinton.
Even if Obama or Clinton won all of the remaining states, neither could mathemathically win the nomination before the convention (the race would come down to super delegates). As another anchor put it from Clinton's perspective: "It's not about mathematics, it's about...momentum."
I think I might be forced to create a Leap Day holiday simply so I can send dictionaries to all major media groups as presents. They can christen their gifts by using them to look up the word “relevancy.”
Maybe, if my plan works, the media will learn something.
