| Interview With Mike Huckabee; Interview With Mike McConnell
Last night you tried your hand at "Saturday Night Live," during the "Weekend Update" segment. I want to play a little segment of the show. And then we'll talk about it on the other side.
Let's listen.
HUCKABEE: All right.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
SETH MEYERS, "SNL WEEKEND UPDATE ANCHOR": Even if you won every remaining unpledged delegate, you would still fall 200 delegates short.
(LAUGHTER)
HUCKABEE: Wow. Seth, that was an excellent explanation.
(LAUGHTER)
But I'm afraid that you overlooked the all-important superdelegates. Don't forget about them.
MEYERS: Well, I won't forget about them. But the superdelegates are only in the Democratic primaries.
Snug with grand views
Seven months after Bob Caldwell became a widower, the next chapter in his life unfolded quickly. He placed his home and two acres of land in Bowie on the market, setting in motion a major change in lifestyle.
"I took a contract on the Bowie house Sept. 15, began house hunting in Baltimore on Sept. 18, bought this house the next day and settled on Oct. 1," said Caldwell, 56, a warehouse supervisor for Giant Food in Jessup.
That two-week whirlwind brought Caldwell a two-story, brick rowhouse on Fort Avenue in South Baltimore's Locust Point, landing him back in the city where he grew up and visited regularly to see friends and attend Ravens games.

Winter Park: CO's snow HQ
Few people ever get to have the mountain to themselves, so Paul Tourangeau says he knows he's lucky to be able to perform sweep for Winter Park's Volunteer Ski Patrol. "My favorite thing to do is check out the view of Perry Peak at the end of the day; the alpenglow is just amazing," he said. "But everyone should stop what they're doing now and then and take a look." Tree's a crowd: According to Darryl Stein, the trees are tight and packed with powder off Trestle, a black diamond run on Mary Jane. "You have to take a blue to get down to it, I think it's called Roundhouse, and then you can kind of drop in and out as much as you want. You can cross over into these great shorter hits off there, or you can just ride it down to a blue and then cruise on outta there. And then lather, rinse, repeat, as far as I'm concerned.
Dems Should Thank Nader, Not Trash Him
Hillary Clinton blamed Ralph Nader this weekend for Al Gore's 2000 loss to George W. Bush. She's hardly the first to make such a statement, but the comment reveals the patronizing attitudes that still pervade her party. Barack Obama wasn't much nicer, saying Nader "did not know what he was talking about" when he claimed there was no difference between Bush and Gore. But it's Clinton's comments that really got to me: She said categorically that Nader "is responsible for George W. Bush." She's wrong. You know who is "responsible" for Bush being elected? Gore. The Democratic Party. The American public. I first became aware of Nader as a high-school senior in 1996. I didn't get to vote that year - the election was held about five weeks before I turned 18 - but I would have voted for him.
Jotspot Returns As Google Sites: Wiki-Style Collaboration
Ever since Google bought the wiki-based online application startup Jotspot in late 2006, people have been wondering if it had disappeared forever inside the bowels of the search giant. Tonight, Google's launching Google Sites, using Jotspot's technology to create a free group collaboration service that will be part of its online software suite Google Apps. Google characterizes Sites, which had been hinted at in late 2007, as the biggest Apps launch since Apps Premier Edition a year ago, and it may be right. The new service lets people in an organization instantly create a wiki-style group workspace, where they can post text, videos, calendars, and various attachments for their group or department to view and edit. Scott Johnston, Google's senior product manager on Sites, has more in a blog post and video.

Rockingham Tweaks Its Redistricting Plans
ELKTON — The Rockingham County School Board will hold yet another hearing on school redistricting at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, March 6, at Montevideo Middle School. This is likely to be more harmonious than earlier hearings, when dozens of parents expressed unhappiness with proposed new district boundaries. Now, under revisions announced at the Feb. 26 meeting of the Rockingham County Board of Supervisors, substantial revisions to the original plan have been made, reducing many complaints resulting from parents concerning the original plan. "[Supervisors and the school board] did an outstanding job," said parent Melani Tomasi, a participant in a recent protest group centered on Power Dam Road near McGaheysville. "The new plan reflected the bulk of concerns; they gave the people what they wanted," added Tomasi, whose children would have been shifted from the Montevideo area schools to the new school complex at Elkton, as well as Elkton Middle School.
The ‘First Woman,’ Once Again
It is noteworthy that in January 2007, when Mrs. Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama declared their intention to seek the Oval Office, the top six circulating newspapers in the U.S. ran 59 articles with Mr. Obama in the headline and just 36 with Mrs. Clinton. Now that we have had a female presidential candidate who entered the race as a front-runner, I have to wonder if the next one will also be regarded as a "first." Even if, after 130 years of women running for president, we are finally ready to shed this label, my guess is that the novelty frame will persist. If one of the next presidential candidates should happen to be a woman and she is not framed as "the first" woman to run, she will surely be touted as the "only" woman in the race. However, either would be a shame, because women in politics should by now be regarded as normal, not strange.
Gotta know when to turn out the lights
I haven't heard people talk about horsepower in quite a while. They Chassis Dyno the things all the time, but horsepower is usually an afterthought. It's all about aero who's doing the coil binding setup and all the aerodynamic things these guys have dealt with all these years. But it's kind of fun now to hear guys changing spindles, A-arms, chassis components. Now all of a sudden the engine is a big factor in what is going on. I think this new car is creating every bit of that because the body is what it is you can't alter it. So it puts emphasis on a lot of things that we haven't paid any attention to for quite some time. From that perspective, I know Toyota has been working hard on their engine package, and Dodge is working on their new engine package. I just read where Jack Roush is working on a redesigned new engine package for Ford and Chevrolet has their new R07.

Damaging Tornadoes Hit the South
No fatalities were immediately reported in Prattville, outside Montgomery, but two people were critically injured, said Fire Department official Dallis Johnson. Twenty-seven people had minor injuries, officials said. About 200 homes were damaged or destroyed. A curfew began as darkness fell Sunday. A 35-bed mobile hospital unit was set up outside a Kmart to treat victims with minor to moderate injuries so that hospitals could take those with serious injuries, Dr. Steve Allen said. Toppled utility poles and storm debris littered the area. Shelters opened at churches, and school buses shuttled storm victims out of the stricken area to the city center. David Shoupe, 18, assistant manager at Palm Beach Tan, said he and a co-worker barely made it into a laundry room before the roof fell in and the wind tossed shopping carts aloft.
