Mitt Romney continued his campaign to alienate as many voters as possible before the November elections today by saying.

“Don’t just go to [the school] that has the highest price. Go to one that has a little lower price where you can get a good education. And hopefully you’ll find that. And don’t expect the government to forgive the debt that you take on.”

I seriously thought that I was seeing things when I saw the headline “Joe the Plumber Wins GOP on Super Tuesday.” I really thought I was seeing things when I saw that Gingrich won Georgia, and I definitely didn’t believe that Santorum won Oklahoma.

I guess none of this should be a surprise. Politics news out of the GOP camp has been absolutely insane this year. I really thought that the debates were the best entertainment I had seen in a long time. It was definitely better than that stupid show Lost or The Bachelor/ette. It was a train wreck that I couldn’t look away from and to be honest I was kind of dreading Super Tuesday because it meant that the era of amazing political entertainment was over.

Or so I thought.

It turns out that the Grand Old Party has no idea what they want. To be more specific they have no idea WHO they want. If yesterday was and example of anything it definitely showed how incredibly divided the Republican party is over who should represent them as President.

What does this mean? Well, it means that the GOP really needs to solidify before the general election or it could pose a real problem for the election of a Republican nominee.

It also means that we get more absolute insanity from the candidates on National TV. Keep the popcorn out, folks.

A good debate showing by Santorum here could clinch a victory in Michigan and Ohio which would give him a serious leg up coming on Super Tuesday. This news event has a lot of entertainment value.

Today would have been the 45th birthday of Kurt Cobain. The pitfalls of rock stardom often lead to young deaths and so the game of fan-fiction of what might have been is often very kind to the likes of Cobain and his ilk. The reality though is usually much less pleasant. In fact, it is accurate to say that should he have still been alive Kurt Cobain would most likely be a complete embarrassment or at best a Salinger like recluse. (more…)

Guys, have you heard it’s half time in America?! This is good news as for most of us as we were already accepting that it was not only the fourth quarter for America but for the entirety of the planet. Everything changed yesterday though, you see we had asked ourselves “If we can’t trust the Mayans who can we trust?” Luckily an advertisement reminded us of the obvious answer to that question, Clint Eastwood.  (more…)
