SOME OF YOUR WIT: BILL from WNNCO - Tells us to remember that life is sexually transmitted.
MARSHA - says that the Republican primary election results prove that South Carolina isn't as dumb as everyone thinks.
BILL from WNNCO - says: "I find the political circus fascinating and mesmerizing . This is truly wonderful theatre. Unfortunately they do not focus, nor can they, on anything of real importance."
JERRY - sent this picture of the "Husband of the Year"
SANDY - forwarded a list of terms used by women with the real meanings of those words. For example, when a woman says 'FINE!' - "This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up."
SPARTY - noted this wondrous occurrence: "This year, both Groundhog Day and the State of the UnionAddress fall on the same day. It is an ironic juxtaposition: one involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication.The other involves a groundhog.

SOME ISSUES YOU RAISED:
DASHMANN - in thinking about the Michigan primary where the Democrats wrote off the state by punishing it for an early primary asks: "Why would the Democrats risk alienating voters in a state they have carried the last 5 Presidential elections with their actions concerning the primary?"
And obviously, that ALSO applies to Florida's primary this week. Says Dashmann: "Voters are hungry to support independent thinking candidates that don't always go with their party - ala "Profiles in Courage."
DASHMANN - also sent this exercise which you can use to measure how your opinions compare against the candidates. CLICK I tried it and thought the results were right.
GIGI - forwarded a story from the New York Times concerning an American who decided to visit all the state capitols, take pictures, talk to people, and write about his experiences. Well, then you run up against a lot of suspicions these days! CLICK
EXCERPT: "... he said, he would like to see his name removed from “the list,” or whatever it is that caused him to be repeatedly stopped and questioned. The journey ultimately left him wondering what it means to be American — and, more fundamentally, who he really was.
“What I thought would be an exercise in self-betterment turned out to be something a little bigger,” he said dryly."
CHRIS - points out that this time, the politician caught with his pants down is a Democrat: Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, and that he's really in trouble because he may have committed perjury. Read about it here: CLICK
ALICE - notes the death of "Gordon B. Hinckley, the humble head of the Mormon church who added millions of new members and labored long to burnish the faith's image as a world religion." CLICK
