The plan here at Applesauce World Headquarters for coverage of balloting on Super Duper Mega Awesome Orgasmic Tuesday, Feb. 5, is exciting, to put it mildly.
Through much of the day and long into the night, I will be “live blogging” the goings-on. That is, I’ll provide a steady stream of news and insights gleaned from television and the Internet — stuff that goes beyond mere vote totals to give you perspective on the meaning of it all.
Sure, you could try to replicate this effort on your own, but why bother? Let’s face it. I’m a highly-trained professional, and you’re just a rank amateur. I know where to look for the inside skinny; you don’t.
But, hey, I’m glad to be of service to you. No, really, I am. It’s the least I can do to advance the cause of democracy in America.

Food for thought:
Mike Huckabee, who tried to ingratiate himself with South Carolina voters by claiming to share their love for FRIED SQUIRREL, is now SAYING that Mitt Romney doesn’t know how to eat fried chicken.
Matters like these are said to be important to Southern voters.

Rightly or wrongly, John McCain seems to think Republicans are a bunch of warmongers.
Accordingly, he TOLD a Florida audience Sunday that America can look forward to “more wars” (especially if he becomes president, right?).
“We’re gonna have a lot of PTSD [post traumatic stress disorder] to treat, my friends,” he said. “We’re gonna have a lot of combat wounds that have to do with these terrible explosive IEDs that inflict such severe wounds. And my friends, it’s gonna be tough, we’re gonna have a lot to do.”
What a cheerful guy.
McCain is fighting for political survival in Florida, where Tuesday’s presidential primary is open only to registered Republicans. That’s a tough challenge. He’s always needed independent voters to win. The GOP establishment doesn’t much like him.
But is this talk of more wars and more broken bodies of American kids the way to win over the party faithful? Â
