The Snowapocalyse is here!

++Snow turns people batty. The Bernie fans see CNN posting polls favorably to Sanders as setting them up ,especially when they will be broadcasting the Iowa Town Hall, which is another Clinton trick to save her bacon.

++Bernie fans also denounced a letter "purported" to the circulated by a Democrat that accused Bernie of being a "Communist" because he participated in a twin city with the Soviet Union and was sympathetic to Castro and the Sandinistas.

++Tom Hartmann did nail Hillary on accusing Sanders of supporting a bill deregulating commodities. It's true but it was inserted in a budget bill that the Republicans had worked out with Bill Clinton in 2000. Tom also pointed out that the author of the bill in the Clinton White House is currently the financial director of the Clinton campaign. Good job,Thom.

++The Hispanic Chamber is supposed to support HUD Secretary Castro for Vice President. Hillary is taking him on the rounds in Iowa and Maine.

++Three Hispanic newspapers in Las Vegas today backed Bernie.

++A new Nevada poll shows Hillary's lead is down to four points. Another South Carolina poll shows that Bernie has cut Hillary's huge lead to 26 points.

++Bill Clinton is concerned about Hillary's strategy heading into Super Tuesday. Apparently he is on the phone to the campaign everyday.

++Former Attorney DiGenova held a lengthy meeting today with security types to discuss the FBI investigations into Hillary'emails. He claims the investigations will end in 60 to 90 days and that it should lead to indictments, the Republicans' dream, which he said would force Loretta Lynch to appoint a Special Prosecutor. He also says 50 FBI agents are investigating the Clinton Foundation for corruption. He says Hillary will be forced out of the race and Joe Biden will run with Elizabeth Warren. Which would be cool. But DiGenova is a well-known Republican operative who once prosecuted cases on classified information.

++The Bernie fans are demanding that Hillary release her speeches to the banks and explain why she earned so much.

++The Republicans want to investigate President Obama's latest deal with Iran to settle the outstanding case from the Revolution where we froze funds for arms shipments.  The GOP are claiming Obama paid ransom for this settlement and the release of a single American spy. In other words, the Republicans suspect President Obama acted like Ronald Reagan except he didn't send a cake and a bible.

++The Republicans are going ape over the National Review's and, to a lesser degree, the Weekly Standard's evisceration of the Donald. NBC is reporting that the Donald is posed to win dominating primary victories,unprecedented in Republican history.

++The GOP can't decide who's more horrible --the Donald or Rafael Cruz. It is explicit now that the entire GOP Congressional Caucus hates Cruz. And the Business Insider printed a story about how Cruz worked for W. and even support George P. Bush before turning on him.

++Ted Cruz today said he was a Christian first, an American second, a conservative third and a Republican fourth. If he were Jewish or Moslem, the place would explode. Apparently Cruz is going all religion in New Hampshire, which is ranked as the most secular state in the union.People really don't like him either.

++Cruz announced he and his family were without healthcare. he claimed it was because Obamacare forced his premiums up 50%. A spokeswomen for Blue Cross/Blue Shield in Texas said "no, the premium went up by 5% but they discontinued the PPO."  Naturally,Cruz could still enroll in Congress's Obamacare program. 

++John Kasich told the Washington Post that if he doesn't do well in New Hampshire,that's it. He'll fold up the tent and go home.

++Watch out this primary season. There are alot of tricks the GOP is trying to play the last year of Obama's administration. So hold onto to your wallet.

++Kudos to Rachel Maddow for her early and seemingly bizarre interest in Flint,Michigan. Her national reporting produced results. Not only did both democratic candidates weigh in but also President Obama. The whole white situation is a result of Governor Snyder's bizarre position on local governance. Fox News is trying to blame the citizens for the situation. Snyder cut off Flint's water because of budgetary problems and had water from the Flint River pumped into their homes. The result is lead and arsenic poisoning.

++The Obama era is slowly ending. In the personality of the week from Bill of Portland,he came in second,losing to John Kerry so I take it as a sign. So far no candidates have won yet. I'll take two weeks in a row from a candidate as the end.

++And from Israel comes this week's neatest thing. Haaretz had a piece on the secret Jewish history of David Bowie (He wasn't). They claim in Station to Station "from Kether to Malkuth" represents the only usage of Kabbalistic terminology in Hebrew  by an international pop singer.  Feel Jealous, Madonna.
