apparently, julianne moore really nails palin in the hbo film "game change." i've seen some clips, she has the accent, mannerisms and attitude down pretty well. woody harrelson does a good steve schmidt as well. (btw, schmidt does really good commentary on msnbc, smart and no bullshit.)

Funny fake article about Mitt Romney reviewing a restaurant. Strangely enough, Mother Jones isn't usually a satirical paper. Maybe the guy who wrote it desperately wants a job at the Onion. http://motherjones.com/mojo/2012/03/mitt-romney-olive-garden-grand-forks

for anyone still keeping score:
-santorum wins MS + AL but pretty close (MS basically a 3-way tie) so it's not too bad for mitt
-mitt meanwhile sweeps american samoa* + HI, still leads rick santorum 2-1 in delegates
-newt will soldier on his grim march of irrelevance, driven by megalomania + fantastical delusions of being picked as a compromise candidate at an open convention
-brokered convention feeling more + more inevitable. mitt can't separate but no one can take him down either
-what a clusterf**k
*bewilderingly, we let our colonies vote in primaries but not in the actual election

also, only loosely related but must post:
last night OB took your PM to a college basketball game. since most of you are probably unfamiliar w/march madness I will explain in terms of football. every year 64 teams are chosen to play for the national title. ~40 of those teams are the top ones in the country. the rest get automatic berths for winning the preliminary tournaments of their inferior conferences (i.e. as lower leagues are to the EPL). it's kind of like the F.A. Cup (plenty of david over goliath upsets) + Champions League rolled into one, only better. a few years ago for $ reasons (more games = more tv = more $) the field was expanded to 68, with 8 of the weakest teams having to win "play-in" games to get in.
which is all to say, OB basically took Cameron to the equivalent of QPR playing Wolves to avoid relegation. consider yourselves disrespected, ye people of England.

Is that better or worse than the handful of DVDs he sent a flunkey down to Tower to buy for Gordon Brown? (And did anyone ever find out what GB got?)
Anyway, just wait till Cam takes the O to a Villa match. Hopefully Alex McLeish will still be in charge.

your weekly update from the greatest country on earth:
-mitt (unexpectedly) CRUSHES rick s here in illinois. possibly disastrous for santorum - big momentum killer for him, + mitt finally has big signature win
-next up is louisiana, which santorum will win comfortably, but after that april is full of NE states that mitt will likely sweep or at least win most
-santorum must win PA + at least make solid showing in NY to remain viable (other april states he as a real shot in: WI, MD)
-if not romney could start wrapping this up in may. i.e. brokered convention looking bit less likely, mitt solidifying as actual front runner. but we shall yet see

also normally never watch speeches but other night watched most of mitt's IL victory speech + ~1/2 of santorum concession. the inanity/hilarity of it (not that dem speeches are better) damn near propelled me into a manic state of giddiness. like staring directly into the sun.
