HEH: “I visited the macsweeper.com website. I know I probably shouldn’t have but I used a Windows PC so I knew I wouldn’t get infected.” No, really, don’t go there on a mac. And personally, I wouldn’t go there on a PC.

JIM TREACHER EMAILS: “These primaries are like the Special Olympics: Everybody gets a ribbon! ”

UPDATE: Brendan Loy: “You know what this means? Chaos!” Plus, on the Democratic side: “It certainly looks like a moral victory for Uncommitted!”

IS THE CADILLAC PROVOQ a sham?

MORE DIEBOLD claims!

FOX PROJECTS ROMNEY TO WIN. Also Hillary.

UPDATE: I’m watching Huckabee say he feels my pain. Is this just an Arkansas thing?

ANOTHER UPDATE: Now I’m watching Romney, and he looks energized by the win. Or maybe it’s just that he’s a bit happily unkempt. But what’s with the repeated quoting of George Herbert Walker Bush?

HILLARY, BILL, and the crown jewels.

A VOTER REPORT FROM MICHIGAN:

Mr. Reynolds: Turnout was quite low in my precinct (Grand Rapids area), though the weather here in West Michigan wasn’t nearly as bad as some of the major media reports made it out to be.

No exit pollers. I had been hoping to tell them that I voted for Ron Paul both discredit exit polls further (if that’s even possible) and drive the lunatic fringe of the Paul crowd even crazier. Disappointing.

Stay tuned for more comprehensive data . . . .

UPDATE: Ouch:

The Michigan Democratic ballot is a sham that was rigged by Hillary Rodham Clinton, her husband and her supporters to give the nation the impression that she’s the leading candidate in Michigan, an angry former Sen. Don Riegle said Monday.

Riegle appeared at a rally in Detroit today to encourage would-be supporters of Barack Obama and John Edwards to vote uncommitted in Tuesday’s primary. Riegle said he supports one of the two, but wouldn’t say which.

“What happened in Michigan is not very different from what used to happen in the old Soviet Union,” Riegle said. “The Clinton machine manipulated the ballot. They don’t care how they win, only that they do. It’s wrong and people need to know that.”

(Via Gateway Pundit).

ANOTHER UPDATE: Rand Simberg knows Don Riegle and thinks it’s a sign that Democrats are getting tired of the Clintons.

A BABY BOOMLET:

Bucking the trend in many other wealthy industrialized nations, the United States seems to be experiencing a baby boomlet, reporting the largest number of children born in 45 years. The nearly 4.3 million births in 2006 were mostly due to a bigger population, especially a growing number of Hispanics. That group accounted for nearly one-quarter of all U.S. births. But non-Hispanic white women and other racial and ethnic groups were having more babies, too. . . .

An examination of global data also shows that the United States has a higher fertility rate than every country in continental Europe, as well as Australia, Canada and Japan. Fertility levels in those countries have been lower than the U.S. rate for several years, although some are on the rise, most notably in France. . . . To many economists and policymakers, the increase in births is good news. The U.S. fertility rate — the number of children a woman is expected to have in her lifetime — reached 2.1. That’s the “magic number” required for a population to replace itself.

Countries with much lower rates — such as Japan and Italy, both with a rate of 1.3 — face future labor shortages and eroding tax bases as they fail to reproduce enough to take care of their aging elders.

Interesting. I credit the Spears family.

SOLIDARITY WITH JOE SIXPACK: Gourmet food comes to the Congressional cafeteria:

The menu transformation is part of Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s “Greening the Capitol” plan to make the House campus more environmentally friendly and socially progressive.

But there can be a downside to delicious. Not everyone is happy with the enhanced offerings. Many congressional employees have complained that as the food quality has increased, so have the prices.

“It’s a big jump from high school cafeteria to fancy-pants gourmet. I just wish my pay improved,” said Caryn Schenewerk, a staffer for Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.).

LIMBAUGH ON McCain and Huckabee.

AN EARLY LEAD FOR ROMNEY? Possibly. Make of it what you will.

YOU COULD SEE THIS COMING: “Michael Nifong, the former North Carolina district attorney who unsuccessfully prosecuted Duke University lacrosse players for rape, sought bankruptcy protection from creditors including the athletes.”

CORRECTING BOB HERBERT on gender relations:

They’re more like doctors who carry beepers. They’ve chosen a line of work where their clients determine when their services are wanted, and they’re being paid for attending to those needs whether they are in the mood or not. That’s difficult to do, so show some respect.

To them, and to everyone else who has to answer a bell or beeper!

BILL BRADLEY CONTINUES TO report from Michigan.

DEAN BARNETT: Driving Mr. Romney. “I often marvel at how the public perception of Mr. Romney differs so radically from the man I know. The blame for this lies in the campaign he has run.”

LOSING THE PRO-GUN BASE. Bad news for the GOP.

EXPENSIVE WINE TASTES BETTER — because it’s expensive? “A new study out of California has shown that ‘the sensation of pleasantness that people experience when tasting wine is linked directly to its price’. This means that it’s likely that a $10 bottle of merlot will taste more like a $90 bottle of merlot if someone tells you it’s $90.”

SO THE CAR INDUSTRY IN MICHIGAN IS IN TROUBLE, but foreign carmakers are eager to open new factories in the United States — just not in Michigan. If I were a Michigan politician, or voter, this would make me think about what Michigan is doing wrong.
