Wednesday's Walking Wounded, the Ron Paul Feels His Cheerios edition

Hot off the heels of his 15 point loss to Mitt Romney in the New Hampshire GOP primary, Ron Paul has a message for the other Republican presidential candidates — go home.

Rep. Ron Paul's campaign called on the rest of the Republican field to drop out of the race and unite behind him in order to defeat Mitt Romney.

No, this is not from The Onion. I wish it was.

Also not from The Onion, Paulestinians team up with Occupods to go full-Alinsky on Rick Santorum's family.

Hey, if you can't beat 'em at the polls, just beat 'em senseless. Unless you're talking about Islamic terrorists; because Ron Paul doesn't believe in attacking our actual enemies, even if they attack us first.

Meanwhile, Mitt Romney finally said something that I happen to agree with: "I like being able to fire people." Well, good! That's what we need in a president, someone who can take a chainsaw to the federal bureacracy. And yes, that involves slashing headcount, downsizing, reductions in force, whatever euphemism you wish.

You know who else has been saying that? Rick Perry. Welcome to the party Mittens.

Speaking of firing people who provide bad service, Brian Schottenheimer's reign of mediocrity as Jets Offensive Coordinator is finally over. Officially he "resigned." Uh huh. Sure. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

For some reason former Dolphins head coach Tony Sparano is in line for the job. Maybe because his name sounds like Tony Soprano, and their new motivational strategy is any players who fail to perform will go for a ride in the Pine Barrens with Paulie Walnuts.

You know who else needs a trip to the woodshed? The eco-geniuses at the EPA. Their latest reason-defying pronouncement has companies being fined millions of dollars for not using a biofuel which hasn't been invented yet.

But hey, when has Reality ever stopped an eco-warrior? They want renewable energy sources, and they want them now! Yes, even if you have to turn to science fiction in order to find them.

The quota goes up this year, as do the fines. But still there is no cellulosic biofuel to be had. Anywhere. At any price. It's almost as if their goal is to simply punish fossil fuel suppliers and not to promote viable alternatives.

Here in New Jersey it looks like sanity has prevailed, and Democrat Gabriela Mosquera won't be allowed to occupy a seat in our State Assembly after all. Yesterday I reported that a judge had ignored her violation of our state election law's residency requirements, claiming that she has now lived in the district for one year and she "had a good enough chance of winning" a special election if he ordered one.

NJ State Supreme Court Chief Justice Stuart Rabner did a WTF on that one, and barred Mosquera from being sworn in. Yup, there's gonna be a special election. She'll run again, but she won't be an Assemblywoman unless she wins fair and square.

The Daley Gator put out their annual list of "must read" blogs. What is this WyBlog which they list? Have you heard of it?

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the vote of confidence!
