Santorum racked up wins in all three contests. He won 40%-35% in Colorado’s caucuses and that was his least convincing win. He was 45% to Ron Paul’s 27% in Minnesota and 55% to Romney’s anaemic 25% in Missouri.

I have to admit that I’d written this guy off as an also-ran way back from the beginning.

My question is: Is this about Santorum or is this about middle America being a bit pissed about what the east coast is trying to saddle them with?

Now, its easy to point out that a win here and there doesn’t mean anything, but knocking down three states shows that you can win. People don’t want to vote for a loser. This is part of Romney’s advantage. We’ve been told for so long that he’s the only winner of the bunch. Maybe a night like this will help change that opinion.

The Gateway Pundit brings us this bit:

The protesters suggested pulling fire alarms in the hotel where the conference will take place, screaming “fire” during conference activities, “glitter-bombing” participants, cutting electrical power, and barricading entrances to the hotel, according to the source, who requested anonymity.

“Speakers will be physically assaulted, not just verbally confronted,” the source told Scribe in an email. Two Occupiers, who the source also identified as members of the New Black Panther Party, “said they would be disappointed if they didn’t get arrested and planned to ‘make it count.’”

So how long do we put up with the blatant criminal activity from these fucking losers? Either they’re going to continue to escalate until they seriously injure or kill someone or they’re going to rush the wrong stage somewhere and get shot dead. And before you say, “Fine, fuck ‘em”, you know what the headlines would look like.

From HotAir:

Few have lived in a world in which a handful of corporations don’t run the food system. The food industry has made our world theirs. Instant meals and ready calories are as much a part of the fabric of late capitalist life as the culture in which they’re acceptable. Excising corporations from an economy that has come to depend on their products addresses the problem of added toxins in food. But it does little to change the circumstance that renders those foods a caloric raft for the poor, nor does it address deeper injustices within the food system spawned by corporate power.

Even the Food Nazis^TM are motivated by a hate of capitalism. Here’s the thing: You can still walk into a grocery store and buy fresh fruits and vegetables and uncooked meat. I know, I was surprised too. To listen to the Food Nazis^TM, the only thing you’d find in a grocery store is aisle after aisle of Twinkies.

Also, as a clarification to yesterday’s post: I’m not saying that I’ll sit out if Romney is the nominee. Just that pretty much any of the Not Romney candidates are preferable.

Andy Rooney died Friday night at age 92.

Mope was the first to report the death, beating wamk’s report by about an hour and a half. Mope is on the scoreboard with 2 points.

Andy Rooney appeared on more than one list: Terrapod, wamk, Slightly and botnet all got 8 points.

And ’cause Aggie says I owe wirecutter a Hooker…

Update [ArmedGeek]: Booze. Mope’s right, there should be some Booze here as well. While I don’t have anything new to post on that front, I will post what I’m drinking right now. Sailor Jerry.

We’ve also got updated rankings for H&B Football Pick’em:

And an update on H&B DeadPool; Almost all core functionality is completed. The only thing missing at this point is the ‘Report Death’ function which should be completed in the next day or so. I’ve also uploaded pictures of the Grand Prize here.

And in the spirit of “there’s never enough Hookers” I’ll finish with a Hooker …
