Okay, there’s not a whole lot to the story, but still, GRAND RAPIDS!

John Edwards endorsing Barack Obama in Grand Rapids [WOOD TV]

So hints tragic reporter hero Mark Halperin, who says the Barry campaign will announce a major endorsement between 6:15 and 7:15. Obama will be holding a rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan tonight — and John Edwards got on a plane this afternoon! Maybe he was just flying to Outer Space or some deserted island, far, far away from the speculative hellhole we call the Two-Hour News Cycle.

UPDATE: Nope, no vacation. It’s confirmed by Politico, ABC, MSNBC, NYT, etc. etc., that Edwards will indeed throw his White Weight behind Elitist Barry. [The Page]

Here is a map someone at Daily Kos made, and it’s not even terrifying. OK, it is obviously terrifying in several ways. It is color-coded by votes in each county — blue for Barry, red for Hillary, green for that white guy who was running like 90 years ago. Florida, appropriately, looks like a barfy member.

You know, we can’t even tell what’s a stupid parody or what’s a stupid sincere YouTube statement of idiocy these days, so here you go, a YouTube thing uploaded today, so this pretty much negates the nine superdelegates Barack Obama picked up today. (Hilz got one.) [YouTube]

Do you know who John Edwards hates? Everybody. And do you know who his cranky wife hates? Everybody else. Together they have enough hate to rule America, but nobody wanted to elect Senator Goodhair so instead they are spewing their bile at some tragic People reporter who faithfully transcribed their angry rants. Find out what they Like and Dislike about the people who will be president instead of them! MORE »

You would think that John Edwards would have more respect for the nation’s second highest office. After all, he himself was once elected vice president, before Ken Blackwell and voter suppression in Ohio robbed him of the chance to serve as #2 in John Kerry’s Thwarted Reign of Glory. However, after all the vice presidency has done for him, John Edwards has pulled down his pants and pissed all over the notion that he’d run as second fiddle to either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama.

JOHN EDWARDS ON CORPORATE TEEVEE TONIGHT: Remember John Edwards, the candidate who spent four years in Iowa building an organization, only to lose there in hilarious fashion (again)? No, not the one who actually moved his family to Iowa in order to lose, the other one. Well, he is appearing on Jay Leno’s Tonight show this evening, which means he must have an important political thing to say. Will he endorse Hillary Clinton, as some intercepted “terrorist” chatter has suggested? Is he coming out? These are the only two options. [The Caucus]

Back in January, the Huffington Post pointed out that the John Edwards campaign had never bought the URL edwards08.com, and that it actually directed to hillaryclinton.com. But look today and presto, it now directs to barackobama.com. Who is this fickle edwards08.com, and when will it endorse the one true progressive in the race, Mr. Mike Gravel? [edwards08.com] MORE »

Do you like the “who repeated a two-sentence thing from some other liberal speech” scandal? Then you will love this latest Solid Proof that sometimes Hillary Clinton also cheats by using words spoken in the past by others. Look how she did it twice tonight. MORE »

An ancient book of hideous human hair samples is now on display at Philadelphia’s Academy of Natural Science, and political fanatics are lining up to see the tufts yanked or clipped from the lice-ridden skulls of America’s many dead presidents.
