I love this man...

HOLY CRAP!!!! Mark Bittman has a new blog at nytimes.com. I cannot WAIT to try the veggie pancakes, a perfect Lenten meal, no?

Ash Wednesday finds the 'Furt in some mild, spring-like weather. The results for Super Tuesday are in and CNN International has been having a field day. It's so addictive; even though CNN is programmed on the same 22 minute story loops, I find myself watching for hours at a time, waiting for them to say once more that Obama still has family in Kenya or see that one clip of Huckabee rocking to "Sweet Home Alabama." My favorite, though, has to be the byte of Bill in a Harlem church, laughing about how all his life he wanted to vote for a black president... or a woman. God that man is just ripped from Shakespeare.

My mom said her dems polling station ran out of ballots, so she was caucusing on Post-It notes. I love that image, and I hope the vibes in America are as exciting as they seem from abroad. Last night, I went to my new language class, and when I said "Ich komme aus Amerika," the whole class was like "SUPER TUESDAY!!!! Obama! McCain! Hillary!" The world is getting smaller.

Last night I voted for FREEDOM!!!
I voted for RON PAUL!!!!

....and so did 1 other person in my 46 person precinct.

The pledge of allegiance was said by the president of the college republicans at St. Kates - that must be a tough and lonely club to lead.

I caucused with Jim and Jimmy Dawson.

You gotta love Minnesota. Last night, Ron Paul consistently got 3-5% of the vote across the country. In Minnesota, he got 15%. We're so smart.
