It's Super Duper!





















Gee, it doesn't rain like this in the summer anymore. Lightning in February? Come on. But with each page leaving the calendar, we gotta start thinking of Spring. Hey, I recognize that our largest snow last year was on Feb. 14, but we keep inching toward that return to standard time.

Today was Super Duper Tuesday and Fat Tuesday. I got to eat some sausage and red beans and rice and beer to take care of the Fat part. As far as the vote is concerned, Barack Obama is hanging in there (actually splitting delegates at this point) and with his fund-raising ability, suddenly our little hamlet here in Ohio and Texas play the next biggest role on March 4. But why do his crowds think they are at a taping of "The Jeffersons"? Great line: "We are the ones that we've been waiting for." Listening to Limbaugh at work today, a woman calls in and says I can't vote for Obama because he's a "wild card". Why not just say because he's black? We laughed at that one.

But the Clinton machine is tough, churning out big wins in New Jersey and California. The schedule being more spread out means...look out! We are gonna be bombarded with ads. And, hopefully, I'll get a chance to hear the combatants live at some point.

(Side note: Hey, Amy Vining died! "Gossipy nurse" in some obits, hah! Also passing, Lt. Gerard.)

Speaking of ads, could Joe Cimperman find a worse picture of Dennis Kucinich for his congressional ad? BTW, a very funny ad and effective, too.



The Republicans look like they've finally buried Mitt Romney. I voted for John McCain in the 2004 primary when I had doubts about John Kerry, so I know what he's been about for a long time. But McCain looks like he's having major trouble, because the South is rejecting him. The R's are really gonna have to have a talk with themselves, because if they remain fractured, the D's might have a chance.

Hey, another contest for Super Duper Tuesday. Travel with Bourdain! How about going to Montreal and eating smoked meat with him.

You know Amy Winehouse has hit rock bottom, when she gets her own "E! True Hollywood Story". Great talent, but future sales depend on you actually breathing.

Some Floridians wanted to vote on Super Tuesday. Hey, thanks for participating, but your primary was last week.
