Tuesday Trepidation, the Granite Gadflies Ghastly Glower edition

Why are all these primaries and caucuses and debates scheduled during football season? Didn't they used to wait until February, when the sports nobody cares about like basketball and hockey are the only other thing on TV? Not that last night's BCS Championship Game was exciting or anything, but c'mon man, I'd rather watch ten games like that than endure one more Jon Huntsman Mandarin monologue.

As goes Dixville Notch, so goes… Nobody! It's a tie — two for Romney and two for Huntsman. Gingrich and Paul received one vote each. Perry, Santorum, and the rest got nothin'. They may as well quit now. Snicker.

Speaking of football, in case you haven't heard the latest Tim Tebow joke yet.

The last time there was this much attention focused on a white Bronco, OJ was driving.

Flipping the channels last night I caught a glimpse of Oprah gushing over this twit's new baby. I think I threw up in my mouth a little. Oprah's got billions; maybe she should build Hip Hop Hospital for Better-Than-Us Bimbos so there's no danger of anyone ordinary getting inside. Nah, the place would probably collapse under the weight of all their egos.

Election laws don't apply to Democrats. Not in New Jersey, anyway. The law says that in order to run for State Assembly you have to live in the district for one year. Gabriela Mosquera only lived in her district for 10 months when she ran last November. She won, and her Republican challenger went to court to contest the election.

Today an Appeals Court ruled that she should be sworn in regardless. Why? Because if they ordered a new election she would now meet the one year residency requirement and "she had a good enough chance of winning" a rematch.

Voters, who needs 'em?

Sure would make this whole GOP primary mess a lot more tidy though. Just find a judge who's a Rick Perry fan and …
