* The Florida primary is today. In all likelihood, Romney is going to win handily. In fact, if he doesn’t win handily, it would be like the hugest shock ever and he probably wouldn’t recover.
But he’ll win handily. And Gingrich will carry on. And so probably will Santorum as he doesn’t have anything better to do. That goes double for Ron Paul. When will this horrible primary end? I don’t know. I’m just tired of it; it’s awful. At least we won’t end it this time with McCain as our nominee.
* You know the RNC chair whose name looks like that of a Ronulan — Reince Priebus? Well, he’s actually kind of cool. He compared President Obama to Captain Schettino, that Italian captain who ran a cruise ship aground and fled. His counterpart, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, called that “incendiary,” but it’s hard to dispute the facts of the comparison. The best you could do is, “Obama is nothing like Captain Schettino — Obama doesn’t even speak Italian. Plus, it’s hard to imagine someone trusting him with a boat in the first place.”
* Obama famously got in a spat with Governor Jan Brewer, and Governor Jindal says the same thing happened with him. Apparently, Obama is really thin-skinned and likes to try to be theatrical for the press. Who knew a community organizer and legislator who mainly voted “present” wasn’t going to be up to the gravity of the job?
This only stresses the importance of having a Republican candidate who will really go after Obama in the debates. We need to cook that wiener while everyone is watching.
* You ever get the idea that Obama has a thing against religion? He recently got a 9-0 decision against him when he tried to tell religious organizations who they could and couldn’t hire, and now he’s trying to force religious organizations to pay for contraceptives and morning after pills even if they’re morally opposed. What’s the chance the same Supreme Court is going to uphold that one? This is like how a militant atheist would mindlessly antagonize churches to no real purpose. What exactly does Obama bitterly cling to? Probably nothing as American as guns and religion.
* As pointed out in Best of the Web (the “Three Papers in One!” item), the New York Times has published an editorial calling for the end to the filibuster. This is a change of position from 2005 when, while Bush was president, they expressed support for the filibuster — that being a change of position from 1995 when, while Clinton was president, they called for the end of the filibuster. So this is pretty consistent for them — they’re consistently partisan hacks.
Do you know there are people who take the New York Times seriously? Or maybe that’s just an urban legend. Like bigfoot.
* Wisdom of the Day from Lauren Ashley Bishop:
groupon are you crazy if i had laser hair i would never get it removed
Like all Muslim men Obama just doesn’t put up with uppity women. She’s lucky her attitude didn’t get her a good old fashioned stoning.
Are you sure?
Except that Obama has the power of the government behind him to not merely antagonize, but to persecute churches and the faithful.
To no purpose? I’m not so sure. This will win him points with the pro-abortion and liberal atheist crowds. Also, it helps in his quest to drive the Catholic Church and other religious organizations out of the education and health care industries which he considers are rightfully the jurisdiction solely of the federal government.
Brewer is the proverbial little old lady and obama thought he could intimidate her, heaven knows he does not dare to stand up to michelle or valerie jarret, but he got another tongue lashing and not the lewinsky type.
COOK THAT WEINER! COOK THAT WEINER! COOK THAT WEINER!
After that wiener is cooked, cut it in half and stuff it.
funny thing is, I wonder how McCain would do against Obama this time around….significantly better I think…or how about against Bush, the guy that Obama actually ran against.
I wonder where we’d be today if abortion was legal in 1960…
Well, blarg, our host has already shown that a sack of hammers would be a superior President to Obama. And for all his faults, McCain would be a better president than a sack of hammers.
Though if you’re re-running 2008 with what we know now, Romney is already president, and beat Hillary.
What exactly does Obama bitterly cling to?
Either a binky or a blankie would be my guess.
So! It’s… Not Not Romney.
I need a drink.
“When will this horrible primary end?”
I opt for the long primary. The end of the primary is the end of hope. Remember last time…when we knew for sure that McCain was the GOP nominee? I still feel sick thinking about that moment. And, at some point this year I’m going to have to face that same sick feeling once again. So, keep on keepin’ on primary…keep hope alive.
Jimmy, if this was all a country song, it would be I Think I’ll Just Stay Here and Drink.
Maybe this IS all a country song, Marko. With runaway national debt, some of us will be pioneers yet again, living in the country, living off the land.
Maybe I should start mapping out the storm drains in my neighborhood.
You never know when you might need an escape tunnel.

“We need to cook that wiener”… Best campaign slogan EVER!!!
“it’s hard to imagine someone trusting him with a boat in the first place.”
A passenger on the Costa Concordia said “Captain Schettino did drive the boat into a rock and we did nearly drown, but the food was good”
An Obama voter said “ The president drove the country into a disaster, but the food stamps were good”
Ivan Ivanovich FTW!
