I can’t believe a human being could say something like this…
On his nationally syndicated radio show this week, right-wing talker Neal Boortz attacked victims of Hurricane Katrina, saying that “the disaster that followed” was not “George Bush’s fault” because, in Boortz’ mind, “the primary blame goes on the worthless parasites who lived in New Orleans who you — couldn’t even wipe themselves, let alone get [...]

It’s all politics. Even on the weekend.
Clinton Camp Memo Targets McCain, Obama
Makes the case of how Clinton (not her Democratic rival) will beat the GOP frontrunner if he’s the nominee. Mostly tries to diminish Obama’s argument that his 2002 anti-war speech and popularity among independent voters makes him [...]

Sure ya are! It’ll be a quiet little family gathering here, with hot wings, summer sausage, fried green beans (heck, we ARE in the South), and several dips.
The gang over at Firedoglake is comparing menus and recipes!
It’s that time of year when Velveeta sales go through the roof, and cholesterol counts soar. It’s Superbowl party food time. And, by special request from several commenters, I thought we could spend some time talking party food and menus and appetizers and drinks and…well, everything there is to throwing the best damned superbowl party evah…. Or at least pick up some yummy new tidbit idea for a [...]

Let’s just call it the “Edwards Legacy”. Edwards pretty much forced the other candidates to tackle some real “ideas”.
Paul Krugman on why John Edwards mattered: “Mr. Edwards, far more than is usual in modern politics, ran a campaign based on ideas. And even as his personal quest for the White House faltered, his ideas triumphed: both candidates left standing are, to a large extent, running on the platform Mr. Edwards built.[…] If 2008 is different, [...]

Could she possibly be serious?
Ann Coulter Says She’s Not Kidding
On YourWorld with Neil Cavuto yesterday, Ann Coulter continued to insist that she will support–and in fact, campaign for–Hillary Clinton, rather than hold her nose and support the ideologically impure John McCain. I just find Coulter’s hissy fit schadenfreude-licious, as I do Sean Hannity’s and Rush Limbaugh’s. The punditocracy is losing whatever is left of [...]

No matter what the Clinton Camp says, I really doubt either candidate has a lock on the nomination after Tuesday.
Despite growing doubt, Clinton’s campaign suggests Feb 5th will decide race
Analysts, pundits and bloggers alike are increasingly expressing confidence that Super Tuesday, February 5th, will not decide the outcome of the Democratic nomination. As DailyKos frontpager DHinMI said Friday, “There’s no way anyone effectively puts away the nomination on Super Tuesday.” Still, Hillary Clinton’s campaign seems to be pushing the line that 2/5 will decide the outcome [...]

Taking a break from weekend “stuff” to watch a bit of the Arkansas/Florida game. I’m impressed. For now. Second half and Arkansas has a big lead over number 20 Florida!
Now, the political numbers:
Clinton, McCain Open Wider National Leads
The latest Gallup tracking poll shows Sen. Hillary Clinton with a 7 point lead nationally over Sen. Barack Obama, 48% to 41%. This is up from just a three point lead yesterday. On the Republican side, [...]
And, from the left coast:
Endorsement Watch — Some jump in, some wait
It’s been a busy 12 hours on the presidential candidate endorsement front, so let’s take a quick review of which candidates have lined up what support. Barack Obama has been faring well among California’s newspaper editorial boards, winning the endorsements of practically all of the state’s largest newspapers, including the Oakland Tribune, the San Francisco Chronicle, [...]
