Nothing but things to be happy about in the news tonight:
1. Obama sweeps the Potomac Primary, giving himself what looks to be an undisputed delegate lead.
2. The writers' strike is officially settled, with the Oscars set to go on and Stewart and Colbert getting their staffs back Wednesday, and,
3. Roger Clemens's best friend 'til the end, Andy Pettitte, appears to have snitched on him, indicating that the Rocket tomorrow will either recant before Congress, or perjure himself and wind up sharing a cell with Bonds.
If I hadn't gotten my car stuck in the ice while going uphill a block and a half from my house, it would've been a perfect evening.

There is not one bit of evidence that I've seen that would have a prayer of standing up in a court. These syringes are meaningless as evidence, as there has been no control over them for years (and as an aside, what kind of a weirdo would hang on to those things? Blech) and Clemens has admitted to getting vitamin shots (I guess he never heard of Flintstones Chewables), so even if his DNA does show up on them it's proof of nothing, it seems to me. I can't stand the guy but I really would like some hard evidence instead of all this congressional and media grandstanding.
