Obama made it ten in a row last night, picking up wins in Wisconsin and Hawaii. He has now built a lead of 70 delegates with no contests until March 4. You have to wonder how folks in Rhode Island and Vermont will get noticed caught on the same day with Texas and [...]

The thing about following the news is that you begin to realize that a lot of the “news” is just stupid. So, for the record:
I could care less if Roger Clemons took human growth hormones. I might care if he took elephant growth hormones. It surely isn’t worth a Congressional hearing. [...]
