This weekend needs it's own name - the last weekend of February when there's still a crud-dispensing storm or two floating across the continent just those jerks in grade six holding you down giving you a cherry belly. Cabin Fever Weekend. What to do? Wash the car in your shorts despite the sleet …

Now that Wisconsin has fallen, how will they folks in Ohio not follow? Is this out of Clinton's control now? It is an odd race but now one at this point that the wheels are close enough to coming off that something like truth might be peeking out. Obama's website (which you apparently have to give …

Doesn't February cling on this year, demanding one 24 more hours before we get to the month of hope? Well, February is half over as of noon today. I hate February.
