Noted dick Glenn Beck
-Glenn Beck continues to be a dick-
CNN's Glenn Beck doing what Beck does best; "OK, so anyway, I was talking about ugly people. Ugly people, if you're a guy, you can get past it. I don't think you can as an ugly woman. I don't -- no, I don't. If you're an ugly woman, I apologize. Oh, you've got a double cross, because if you're an ugly woman, you're probably a progressive as well. Oh, geez. I'm sorry. Today's just not your day..."
And what if you look like Whitey Whitney from Leave it to Beaver? Well, you're probably not a progressive. More likely, you're a dumbass whitebread Mormon with a show on CNN that almost no one watches.
On the other hand, someone remind Glenn of that pocket of ugly women the right refers to as the "Liberal Hollywood Elite." Boy, Scarlett Johansson and Angelina Jolie sure are dogs, aren't they?
Oh geez! I'm sorry, Glenn. Today's just not your day... (Media Matters)

-It's anyone's game, I guess...-
Going into the Wisconsin primary tomorrow, both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are getting their forces ready to accept a loss. ABC News reports that Camp Clinton has "downplayed expectations for Wisconsin today, arguing its focus is winning the delegate-rich states of Ohio and Texas that vote March 4." Meanwhile, Team Obama "took concrete steps to lower expectations for their candidate in tomorrow's primary in Wisconsin," according to journalist Sam Stein.
The polling I've seen puts Obama ahead, but the lead is far from healthy -- 5% with 11% undecided. A real nailbiter. To make matters worse, almost all of Wisconsin got hammered by a big storm yesterday, making last minute campaigning either difficult or impossible.
It kind of pisses me off that both camps are saying it doesn't really count. Maybe you could say that about the Hawaii caucuses the same day -- I think you get three delegates and a pineapple out of that one.
Ten bucks says the winner won't be saying the primary didn't matter on Wednesday. Expect the winner to wear one of those yellow foam cheesehead hats, chug a can of Leinenkugel, and eat a bratwurst. "Yah, how 'bout dat Wisconsin primary, ay?" I imagine one asking. "I oys said I was gonna win it."
OK, so there's no way that's going to happen. But a cheesehead can dream. It beats a pineapple, anyway... (Huffington Post)
