• So you want to hear Rush Limbaugh's great speech at the CPAC convention last Saturday? Follow the links at the end of this article to watch it in seven parts, it was pretty good and might be a real eye-opener if you don't listen to radio show. Here's the transcript. On a related note, detractors of Limbaugh who can't stand up in an argument on the issues, call him "great entertainment" when they are not entertained and Limbaugh was being dead serious. When liberals call Limbaugh "great entertainment" they are trying to dismiss him and the very serious intellectual, philosophical arguments he's making.
  
• I have no idea what is holding that baby in. The continued delay in that little girl's arrival has absolutely no correlation to what we had experienced with her four brothers. It just shows that every pregnancy is different.
• I thoroughly enjoyed the KCK police academy graduation I attended Friday night. My good friend, Mike B., graduated after a long, slow path (slowed by a broken leg that delayed his training by a year). There were about 40 of us from church that came to see him get sworn in and receive his diploma; not everybody could be there but it was a pretty good showing from the church family.
• We had several inches of snow this weekend. Every surprisingly unseasonable snowflake is God laughing at the uber-idiot Al Gore [thanks Pundit Review]. Climate Change Warning/Prediction: the climate will change this Spring… and again this Summer… and in the Fall and the Winter…
  
• The Chiefs have really made out like a bandit with the Patriots trade. The Chiefs, i.e. new Chiefs GM Scott Pioli, offered a 2nd round pick for a QB, Matt Cassel, that is already known to be pretty good and might be the Chiefs starter for the next 10 years. If Cassel wins a Super Bowl in KC, it'll be the greatest trade in Chiefs history.
• How is it possible that after KU lost so many players to professional basketball and yet may actually be better this year? This year KU will likely win the Big 12, have a good shot of winning the Big 12 tournament, and could possibly even find their way into a #1 seed in the NCAA tourney. That's incredible. And the credit goes to Bill Self, who ought to be the coach of the year, considering what he overcame.
