Things You May or May Not Have Seen, on Account of Extreme Busy-ness

The primaries trudge ever onward. I receive my (personalized!) daily reminders from Sen. Obama himself to remember to vote on February 5: whoohoo Super Tuesday!

In the interim, Florida held its primary. On the side that counted, John McCain pulled it out for the win.

On the Democratic side, which doesn't actually award any delegates (notwithstanding efforts to alter that state of affairs), Hillary Clinton wins decisively. Her campaign runs with it:

Yes, Clinton (N.Y.), as expected, beat Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) by a wide margin in Tuesday's Democratic primary in Florida. But all the Democratic candidates had agreed months ago to boycott the Florida race after the Democratic National Committee stripped Florida of its delegates to punish the state for moving up its primary date. The result was a primary without purpose, a show about nothing.

But in a political stunt worthy of the late Evel Knievel, the Clinton campaign decided to put on an ersatz victory party that, it hoped, would erase memories of Obama's actual victory in South Carolina's Democratic primary. "Thank you Florida Democrats!" Clinton shouted to the cheering throng. "I am thrilled to have this vote of confidence."

The FBI is opening an inquiry into dodgey practices of certain subprime mortgage lenders.

The FDA still sucks.

Britney drama continues.

And a giant dome that can be rolled over the city of Chicago during the winter? Yes! Yes!
