I check out Fark.com a couple times a week. It's good news aggregator with stories from a variety of sources.

And their headlines are often fun...

Why are people focusing on our, "national security and getting back in the business of making this a more peaceful world?"

Frankly, I don't give a crap about a more peaceful world...I care about making our country a better place in which to live. Europe can make their own decisions about a peaceful world, and the Middle East can go fvck themselves. Africa? Who gives a shIt? Really, what difference does it make what dictator is killing what tribe this week?

While I do care about our security...it is not based on making some defense contractors rich.
These signatures have a 500 character limit?

What if I have more personalities than that?

Rubio is smart, he’ll keep away from a schmuck like Santorum. This is just a desperate Santorum grasping at straws to try and remain in the political spotlight for a little longer. He can go away now.

NH RCP Average is out with Trump +17 over Rubio (down about 4 points over yesterday) and 19.4 over Cruz

Of the NH polls out in the past 2 days,

ARG has Trump leading by 21 over Rubio and 24 over Cruz
UMass Lowell has Trump leading 19 over Rubio and 20 over Cruz
NBC/WSJ/Marist has Trump leading 13 over Rubio and 15 over Cruz
CNN/WMUR has Trump leading 11 over Rubio and 12 over Cruz

Lead is creeping down. Question is how much can Rubio and Cruz eat into Trump's lead by Tuesday.

Some conservative pols think that all Rubio needs to do is beat Bushchristiekasich, and he'll be fine heading into the Southern primaries.

Yeah. They are saying that finishing in the Top 3 in NH is a must.

The funny thing is that it seems the real shit is just now hitting the fan with a lot of these candidates. There seems to be more movement in the last two weeks than in the previous 4 months.

Latest NH RCP Average is out with Trump +14.3 over Rubio (down about 2.7 points over yesterday) and 18.7 over Cruz. Kasich is also down 17, and Bush down 21.6 to round out the top 5.

Of the NH polls out in the past 2 days,

ARG has Trump leading by 17 over Rubio and 25 over Cruz
UMass Lowell has Trump leading 21 over Rubio and 22 over Cruz
CNN/WMUR has Trump leading 11 over Rubio and 12 over Cruz
WBUR/MassInc has Trump leading 17 over Rubio and 17 over Cruz
Boston Globe/Suffolk has Trump leading 10 over Rubio and 22 over Cruz
Gravis has Trump leading Trump 10 over Rubio and 14 over Cruz

Lead average continues to go down but not by much.
