GOOD MORNING, BLOGTOWN! I need your love and I won't bring no pain; a little birdie told me that you feel the same. LET'S GO TO PRESS.

Happy Leap Day, everybody! Don't forget... do whatever you want, because this day doesn't count.

Also expect a lot of hoopla downtown today, Occupy Portland is marching to protest corporate influence in politics. (Not us, we have absolutely no influence in these matters.) Stick with Blogtown starting around 11 am and through the afternoon for all the up-to-the-minute deets!

Wait just a goddamn second... North Korea agrees to suspend it's nuclear weapons testing in exchange for U.S. food and aid? IT'S... A... TRAP!!!

Rupert Murdoch's son James has stepped down from his job as head of Britain's News International, in regards to that phone hacking royal clusterfuck. Cheerio, James!

Romney squeaks out a victory in Michigan, walks away with Arizona (shock), and the groundwork is laid for Super Tuesday—where everything will probably be thrown into turmoil again. (Yay!)

Now here's what's going on in your neck of the woods: Snow sputters today and tomorrow, showers on Friday and Saturday, and (hopefully) a dry Sunday.

And finally, because apparently your loins demand it, here is Kate Upton boning a hamburger.
