Vote for Kodos: Mean Edition
Not-so-super "Super Tuesday" yielded good news, better news, the best news, & bad news. The best news is that a blow was struck against gold-drunk, isolationist, race-baiting lunacy by Representative Ron Paul, M.D.'s ("R." [L.]-Texas) failure to win a single state, not even any of the caucus states, where wingnuts hold sway. Take that, you anti-Semitic John Birch Society bastards! The better news is that Speaker Newt Gingrich's Ego (R.-GA) carried only his home state of Georgia, proving that the Ego has no appeal outside of the deepest South, the kind of places where they only-too-willingly shriek "Sieg Heil!" before the Confederate swastika. The good news is that Senator Rick Santorum's (R.-PA) double-digit lead in Ohio evaporated in only a week, demonstrating once again that the only people who support the sweater vest are those who know nothing about his record in the Senate & vote "anybody but Romney" out of bigotry against Mormonism. The bad news is that Governor Mitt Romney (R.-MA) is still having to waste his time not attacking President Obama's abysmal record of failure, but defending his own illustrious record of success against straw-man attacks from the sweater vest's campaign, the Ego's "shampaign" (with reluctant thanks to Rachel Maddow), & the physician's parade of the Golden Calf. At least much has been done to restore the rightful air of inevitability about Mr. Romney's bid for the Republican nomination: B.B.C.-link.

Onward to victory!

Urbi et Orbi
During Mass this evening, Father Steve made an aside that not saying anything mean about anyone would be a tremendous way to observe Lent. Whoops! Sorry, Padre, but that ship has sailed. (Maybe next Lent, in what won't be an election year?)

The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day
"Weird Al" Yankovic, "Polka Face" from Alpocalypse (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: "Polka Face" might be my favorite of all "Weird Al's" polka medleys, & that's no mean feat.
