That special time of year, when St. Urhu’s day elides into the name-day of St. Patric, is again upon us. Here at Wetmachine we have a special place in our hearts for this great Finno-Irish-American festival.
Truly, the world is full of marvels. I know this is small potatoes when compared to the news of Harold Feld’s new gig, but as Mrs. Lohman so rightly observed, attention must be paid. Yes, attention must be paid.

The first question I asked when I read the WaPo report about Russia trying to help Bernie was, “who made that assessment & was there political influence?” If the Trump WH did it to undermine the IC assessment that Russia is backing Trump, we have a very big problem on our hands. https://twitter.com/KimZetter/status/1231324061491290112
Seems like my tweet yesterday wasn't wrong. I'd suggested that sources for story that Russia was backing Sanders likely came from White House and not intel community and was intended to undermine intel assertion that Russia was looking to help Trump. https://twitter.com/KimZetter/status/1230979764569067520 https://twitter.com/jdawsey1/status/1231319223076622339
Warren congratulates Bernie and attacks Bloomberg and...CNN cuts off her speech. Sigh.

The unfounded HPV vaccine safety scare in Japan drove uptake from 70% to below 1%. This will cause 5000 deaths from cervical cancer. "Many of these deaths could still be prevented if vaccination coverage with extended catch-up can be rapidly restored." https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2468266720300104
This, in a detailed thread, particularly caught my eye. Warren is the middle path — not too angry, not too squishy. I hope they’re doing Spanish-language media, too. https://twitter.com/rogerlau/status/1231401976966995968
The Warren campaign is adding media across the Super Tuesday states and beyond and we expect to be one of at most three candidates with a delegate path to the nomination after Super Tuesday. Here’s one of the ads: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCFD3H71vxA&list=PLm-I6oi0zETBDTKT3aqcA5OztNe6gQ8Ew&index=25&t=0s
