If you’re planning to buy chocolate for Valentine’s Day, you might want to check the expiration date on it. CBS 2 HD went back to the store where it was purchased, Nut City on 2nd Avenue, to show the manager, who said they aren’t responsible because the candy is purchased from another company. The store, however, did agree to take the rest off the shelves.

Dems 2008: Predictions and number-crunching, full of sound and fury [Karl]
Former Clinton pollster Dick Morris believes that Sen. Barack Obama will defeat Sen. Hillary Clinton and win the Democratic presidential nomination. Tucked into his commentary was this: March 4th will, at worst, be a wash for Obama with his probable wins in Ohio, Rhode Island and Vermont offsetting his probable defeat in Texas. (Although in Texas’ open primary, Republicans and Independents may flock to the Dem primary to beat Hillary).ÂÂ
Al-Qaeda Leader Needs Geometry Refresher [Dan Collins]
“There were almost 600 fighters in our sector before the tribes changed course 360 degrees . . . Many of our fighters quit and some of them joined the deserters . . . As a result of that the number of fighters dropped down to 20 or less.â€Â
Well, then.
Looks like I’ll have to reconsider my nascent support for changyness and hopeitude after all. Too bad, too. I was really hoping to get in good with Oprah…
The “the that’s right, I just accidentally shaved my head post” post
On the bright side, though, no embarrassing tan lines. My being a shut-in and all. So there’s that.
GOP 2008: Voters voting, citizens speaking, problematic for McCain [Karl]
Mike Huckabee won two of the weekend’s three contests, and is contesting the third. John McCain’s margin over Huckabee in Virginia has shrunk from 32 points to 11 points over the weekend. That is probably not enough momentum to beat McCain tomorrow, but it is now possible that the de facto GOP nominee may not win a majority of the vote there. Mike Huckabee has not changed in the past week or
I’m Sorry, But This Is Just Dumb [Dan Collins]
If “You Think Darwin Sounds Like A Nazi, There Is A Connection” I’m hoping SEK will pick this up, since I haven’t any time at all, but suffice it to say that Darwin’s theory, like any powerful theory, is subject to perversion in the hands of the unscrupulous for political purposes. Darwin’s insight was the result of his having an extraordinarily open mind; it is sheer perversion to turn that
Dems 2008: The Hillary machine lacked organization [Karl]
Regular PW readers know I like to highlight organization stories, as the media tends to gloss over them as boring. But Marc Ambinder has some tidbits in his account of the flailing Clinton campaign worth wider exposure: A lack of money is the main reason why the Clinton campaign failed to organize well enough in smaller caucus states like Minnesota, Colorado and Maine. It’s not that the demographics of these
Today’s Cultural Lesson (CraigC)
Ok, it’s not so much a lesson as an observation. I have a new employee in my department at work. She’s not a great beauty, but she’s a reasonably attractive woman in her 40’s. I say that only because it has a bearing on what’s to follow. She’s very nice, and I like her a lot, but she has a little problem with personal hygiene. I don’t know how often
Scheider Jumps the Shark [Dan Collins]
I don’t have a point. I just wanted to say it.
