A few quick thoughts

But just a few.

• Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton went to Selma, Alabama over the weekend to speak on the anniversary of Dr. King's march over the Edmund Pettis Bridge. The more I see of Obama, the more I think Hillary may have a problem. Obama is an outstanding orator, as good as anyone I've seen in my lifetime. Clinton is not. I still don't sense there's a lot behind the screen with Obama, but Hillary is going to have a difficult time attacking this guy.
• Ann Coulter was at it again over the weekend, throwing out a favorite sexual epithet in the direction of John Edwards. It was gratuitous, silly and deeply frustrating. But that's our Ann. She is smart enough to realize that every time she does something anti-social like this, she's guaranteed another fifteen minutes. There's a reason why such unsavory types as Pat Buchanan, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell et al. are trotted out in the mainstream media to supposedly offer the conservative position: they confirm the biases of said media. I'd suggest that Ann stop beating her wife, but then I'd be just like her, no?
• Par Ridder is going across town to be the publisher of the Strib, leaving the Pioneer Press to do it. Not sure what it means, but hiring Ridder did save Avista Capital Partners having to pay relocation fees for another publisher, I suppose. Don't expect much change at the Strib, though.
• So the Badgers lose to the Spartans at East Lansing, then barely survive a return meeting in Madison, all in less than two weeks. Did you catch Bucky's likely first round opponent in the Big Ten tournament? You got it, the Spartans. If Badger fans are not tired of seeing Tom Izzo and Drew Neitzel by now, just wait....
