The glorious Paultard Freedom Train rolls on, but without Bill Johnson, a racist nut who is running for Superior Court judge in Los Angeles. Johnson wrote the (as yet unratified) "Pace Amendment" to the U.S. Constitution, which would've limited American citizenship to white people and octoroons. Ron Paul's people say "Whoopsy, didn't notice that," and have now un-endorsed Johnson.

It has not been a very good week or so for Drunk Congressman Vito Fossella (R-NY). Last week he was arrested in Northern Virginia for drunk driving. He was in Northern Virginia to go see his family, he told police — his secret OTHER family, that is! He acknowledged today that he had a child out of wedlock who is now three years old. So apparently he only visits that one while drunk? He has apologized to his wife and three "real" children, who unfortunately live in Staten Island, with him. [AP]
So Hillary Clinton has announced that she will stay in the presidential race until there is a nominee. By most measures, there already is one, so she is stupid. But Elite Math still says that she has a chance of winning this thing, as the above scenario from CNN's thrill-a-minute delegate counter shows. In this one, she will clinch the nomination (with one extra delegate!) by winning 45% of undecided superdelegates and 100% of remaining pledged delegates. Yes She Can! What other possibilities are there for Hillary to become president, according to this fun CNN game?

Dawn Gibbons has been living in the Nevada Governor's Mansion alone since earlier this year. Jim Gibbons, the moronic alcoholic waitress-assaulting sex criminal who was comically elected governor in 2006 and took a secret midnight oath of office in his Reno living room, has moved back to that Reno house. He served Dawn with divorce papers, but she says he won't tell her why he's divorcing her.

YIKES OBAMA JUST GOT 28,000 INDIANA VOTES. The mysterious "Lake County" just released 20% of its votes ... and now the state total is Obama 49% v. Hillary 51%. We will keep updating this. Okay, the gap is now NINETEEN THOUSAND VOTES. All the remaining votes — most of them, at least, according to our Numbers King John CNN King — are in Gary.

Indiana is too close to call, and will be too close to call forever, so hoist another drink and let's figure out what Hillary Clinton will talk about in her loser/possible winner speech, whenever she gets around to giving it.

Here is your Relief Editor, clocking in one million hours after the polls have closed, and all we know is that Barack Obama won North Carolina and Indiana is filthy with Hoosiers. That pretty much brings us up to speed, right? Let's LIVEBLOG the speech Barack Obama is about to give, explaining why he does not have "a tone of condensation" (that is what Tom Brokaw called it) when he talks to the Little People.

After all, wasn't the inventor of basketball, Al Gore, from Indiana anyway? These are two of the many questions surrounding tonight's Indiana primary, which will be followed by a North Carolina primary like 30 minutes later. Results, that is. Is Chris Matthews punching Keith Olbermann yet, which is what he does to get off? Let's liveblog more (part one here) and hope that Hillary doesn't finally kill our souls forever.
Hey look, that mumbly blonde from the Woody Allen movies was only engaged to Barack Obama for a few months before throwing him over for, uh, that guy from The Notebook. No wait that is Ryan Gosling. Anyhow, we hope this latest engagement may reach a merciful, swift conclusion so that Ms. Johansson can get back to the very important work of fucking Benicio Del Toro in elevators. [People]
Here is Hillary Clinton looking like a fool with a bunch of old gals around her, one of whom is going in for the kill. This cluster in North Carolina this morning is perhaps the most dangerous place for humans to be in the world, ever. After the jump, another comical picture of Hillary, this time stealing someone's child for a blood cocktail.

You may recall that Hillary's husband Bill was president for a while in the 1990s, and that is why Hillary gets to run for president but never actually win. This clip highlights a moment on the trail during the 1992 election, where a hilariously '90s-outfitted James Carville and George Stephanopoulos are checking out the latest polling figures. In steps Mickey Kantor, the chairman of Bill's campaign, to express his views on the good blue-collars of Indiana. They are not only the pride and soul of America, according to the subtitles, but they are also "shit" and "white niggers." The most offensive part is pretty sketchy, considering you can't see anybody actually saying this. UPDATE: Kantor denies, Conspiracy!

Yikes! Deborah Jeane Palfrey, a.k.a. the D.C. Madam who sold whores to David Vitter and other "famous" folks in the Washington area, has "apparently" committed suicide after being convicted of money laundering and racketeering. Police found her dead in her mother's Tarpon Springs, Florida home today. She had not yet been sentenced. Maybe someone was going for a plea deal? WHAT IS HAPPENING? [Fox 13]
It is April 30, D-Day, and this means that Ron Paul's book hit Borders and Barnes & Noble and the -3 other book store chains across the globe over 17 hours ago! HOW MANY COPIES DO YOU HAVE ALREADY? We have three (million). It is the #1 bestseller on Amazon.com and out of 106 customer reviews, 104 have given it five stars, one has given it four stars and one fascist has given it three measly stars. The three-star review comes from "J. Davis" in San Diego, California. We assume that he was suspiciously found dead within minutes of posting his nuanced take. But what are the other members of the Ron Paul literati saying about the Manifesto? Let's run through the best comments from Amazon.com!

Let us revert our attention back to the Mayor of Detroit, Kwame Kilpatrick, and his human foibles for some time today. Kilpatrick — the greatest mayor in American history — was indicted earlier this year for perjury, obstruction of justice and "conspiracy" along with his former chief of staff, Christine Beatty. Kilpatrick happened to be shtupping Beatty several years ago, and then some city officials got wind of it, and then Kilpatrick fired those city officials for... being lame? And then Kilpatrick and Beatty both completely lied about the nature of these firings in investigative hearings last year. But it was those text messages, those sexy text messages, that the two had exchanged back and forth that did them in. Now an 18-page memo has been released listing all of the good text messages Beatty and Kilpatrick shared. Let's read them, LOL LOL!
