The junior senator from the great state of New York:"I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on," she said in an interview with USA TODAY. As evidence, Clinton cited an Associated Press article "that found how Sen. Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting

We haven't settled on a name yet but she came in this morning (April 1) at 7 lbs 9 oz after 30 hours of labor and about 55 minutes of pushing... 18 days overdue. Cindy and the baby are doing fine. We'll post photos soon. Thanks y'all. B. PS: Yup. The hair is red. Yup.

To say that the path to pushin' is slow-going is the understatement of the century. But we're steadily getting to the big push party. By "steadily" I mean probably several more hours. And by "we" I mean Cindy. The legislators down the road may have a state budget before we have this child.

The St. Pete's Pitocin Party officially kicked off 8 p.m. Sunday. It is now 8 p.m. Monday. I'm no math major but I'm pretty sure that makes 24-hours of induced labor fun. Fun.

And suddenly, the Dumbest Soul Rocker in Delmar could no longer blame Sen. Clinton for not wanting to release her White House records - thanks to more crap reporting from the American media. This. Is. Gross. Just gross. Who's the so-called journalist who decided to connect the dots on this? And excrete nine paragraphs about it? On the very day that the supposed Candidate of Foreign Policy

UPDATE: As of the day after, where CNN and others failed, the reviews are in and it looks like the print media actually gets it. Cheers. And onward. There's missing the point of Sen. Obama's speech on race today - and then there's this travesty of a headline from our friends at CNN. Might as well have said this: Completely. Missing. The. Point. To their credit they eventually changed the

This is something I cranked out quickly last night. It's my cover of "Know" - a rare, unreleased song by a certain female singer-songwriter. Can you guess who she is? KNOW (Cover Version) Hint 1: Legend has it that she improvised the lyric and melody to "Know" on the spot, live to tape in the studio, with her father on guitar. Hint 2: The song does not appear on any album. It's only recently
