When ABC reported the scoop that Hillary Clinton told Bill Richardson that Barack Obama couldn't win in the general election, I thought it was a good nugget but not surprising. It's not as if she'd previously said she'd be a better nominee because Obama is a bad dancer. The Clinton campaign has been arguing that Obama can't win in the general election for months. He can't win big states; he can't win among key constituencies like blue-collar voters, Latinos, and Catholics; he can't beat Mccain; he can't pass the commander-in-chief test. The electability charge is, in fact, the only basis Clinton has left as she battles to overthrow Obama's lead among pledged delegates. It's nearly on Clinton's campaign signs.

Yesterday was heavy on the eggs and cottage cheese. Some days it ’ s tuna — depending on my mood. But the point is that it ’ s “ real ” food.

This afternoon, Johnny Cueto made his major league debut. He struck out the first batter he faced, the Diamondbacks'Chris Young. That's probably not terribly significant, as I'm sure countless pitchers have started out their careers the same way. He then proceeded to put down the next fourteen batters as well, before serving up a homer to Justin Upton to lead off the sixth inning. His final line? Seven innings, ten strikeouts, walking no one and allowing no hits other than Upton's homer.

Sadly, Selleck will not return to playing Thomas Magnum. Instead, the word is that good old boy Matthew Mcconaughey has the part, with Steve Zahn as his friend Rick, Tyrese Gibson as chopper flying T.C., and William H. Macy as his British landlord Higgins. They ’ re sticking with the idea of Magnum and his friends being war veterans, but since so much time has passed now they ’ re veterans of the Iraq war.

My stance is that Johnny Depp can sing. In fact, the whole cast can, especially that little kid, man, he was adorable. This movie was so quirky and, though it was predictable, I enjoyed it a ton. The songs were great, and Tim Burton is just... yeah, he's just a gun at these sorts of movies. I spent a lot of the movie going "PLEASE DO N'T LET THIS KID DIE," and I swear Sweeney Todd was just gon na'murder everyone, goddamn. But yeah, no complaints here. I really liked this movie.

The Kansas City Royals have started off the season well, beating the Detroit Tigers in their first two games, the third of the series coming later today. Detroit this offseason acquired left-handed pitcher Dontrelle Willis, and a slimmer Miguel Cabrera. Willis has yet to pitch, but Cabrera is sporting an awful. 125 batting average, his one hit was a home run. Many media members figure the Tigers will score a thousand runs, but their pitching and bullpen is suspect; dropping two to the Royals right off the bat proves that they were correct. Good news for the Tigers will come in the form of the Chicago White Sox, who are also 0-2; we'll get to see what Detroit is made of on the following series against the defending World Champion Red Sox.

If you 're familiar with the so-called "blood and ice-cream trilogy" -- Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg's series of comedy-action-spoofs that began with Shaun of the Dead and continued with Hot Fuzz -- or even if you 're just familiar with trilogies as a concept, you'll know there should, logically, be a third film. Speaking to British papers, Pegg and Wright confirmed they 're still at work on just such a thing, and more importantly, announced the working title of The World's End. Does this indicate a sci-fi armageddon? A post-apocalyptic future? A Caribbean ghost ship? Sadly, they didn't say. But for the fatties, Pegg did mention the final featured Cornetto flavor: mint chocolate chip! Hot Fuzz duo confirm third movie [BBC News]

One of the doubles was definitely a home run, was called a home run by the second base umpire, but then reversed because he is a pussy and did not stand by his correct call. Two dudes wearing long white shirts were shown talking on their cell phones, confirming the spot the ball hit right in front of their seats. Beltran is calling for instant replay to be instituted, I would just like a man to stand up for what he saw. Why couldn ’ t they confirm with the white-shirted fellas.

When H&M first started doing these collaborations with designers (Stella Mccartney, Karl Lagerfeld, Viktor & Rolf), I thought it was pretty exciting. But the reality is, it ’ s a watered down version of the original. The fabrics are cheap, the cuts are usually bad … you ’ re better off just sticking to H&M ’ s own collection.

Joe Lauzon showed some great skills against a very tough Kenny Florian. Florian nearly lost the fight early in the first round by DQ due to illegal elbow strikes. Joe though, shook it off and came back with fierce determination, he controlled Kenny, working for heel hooks, knee bars, passing guard, stuffing Florian ’ s takedowns, etc. Joe showed how much his game has improved since working with BJ Penn. Although Florian won the fight in the second round, it ’ s clear that Joe Lauzon has come a long way and in time will only continue to improve and become a fierce opponent in the UFC lightweight division.

Via Ben Smith, Obama's fundraising was once again astounding: Apparently, we'll be waiting for several weeks before we see the Clinton total for March. This is significant. Very significant. In the past, the Clinton campaign jumped out front to release its campaign numbers -- often before the reporting period had even ended. Even when Clinton had a bad month in January, only raising $13.5 million, Terry Mcauliffe revealed the number on February 4th. We knew on February 28, 2008 that Clinton had raised $35 million in February. Not this time. According to Howard Wolfson, on a Clinton campaign conference call, we may see the tax returns soon, but the Clinton campaign will not be releasing its March fundraising total until the filing deadline, which is the 20th of the month.

Finally, Phil of the Future fans see Hughes in action this evening. The Blue Jays match one of their youngsters, Dustin Mcgowan against Phil Hughes of the Yankees. Mcgowan's 4.08 ERA last year wasn't bad for someone in their first full season in the bigs. He struck out a good number, didn't walk too many and did a great job keeping the ball in the park with just 14 home runs allowed in 169 2/3 innings. Mcgowan pitched a bit better than Hughes last year. Phil said his leg wasn't really strong after the injury, so we'll see if he's off to a better start in 2008.

Well, say goodbye to 1-15, and hello to 2-15 for Andy Roddick. Coming into tonight ’ s match against Roger Federer, Andy Roddick had been 1-15 all-time, but not anymore. Roddick defeated Federer 7-6, 4-6, 6-3 in the quarterfinals of the Sony Ericsson Open. This is a big win for Roddick, who is having a great year so far. He has already won two titles, and looks primed to win his third. For Federer, the questions remain and I still don ’ t think he is totally over his bout with mono. This is by no means an excuse, but just the facts. Roddick will now face Nikolay Davydenko in the semifinals.

Planning on dropping by Michelle and Barack Obama's with your newborn in tow? Don't bother. Michael Gerson knows the truth: Barack Obama doesn't display a "welcoming attitude to new life." You think your little sweetie's cute, but Obama sure doesn't! He wants you to be able to take paid sick days to take her in for well-baby checkups. He supports early-childhood education initiatives that would help her arrive in kindergarten on par with tots who got privately-paid preschool. And, for god's sake, he has a plan for publicly-funded health care that would take care of both your and your baby's health care needs!

Sens. Jim Webb (D-va.) and Chuck Hagel (R-neb.) unveiled a GI Bill modernization bill over a year ago, which would increase troop benefits to pay for their education. From a patriotic perspective, this is showing real support for the troops. From a military perspective, it might make recruiting easier if young people know they can go to college after their service for free. From an economic perspective, the country benefits when thousands of educated young people enter the workforce with degrees, as opposed to the alternative.
