Actually, this could be good news for all of us: A new poll of Alabama Republicans puts Huckabee in front for the 2012 GOP nomination by 10 points over prolific liar/quitter Sarah Palin.
So, great! They’d rather have for President a guy who granted Maurice Clemmons clemency — after which Clemmons killed four Seattle police officers and was shot to death two days later by a Seattle cop — than someone who lies publicly, takes $100,000 for a speech while claiming to be looking out for “real” Americans, and can’t finish a term as governor of a state with no people.
OK. Maybe it’s not good news for anyone.

Startling news from The South:
Asian-American activists offended that MARTA re-named the train line into the heart of Atlanta’s Asian community the “yellow line” will take their objections to the transit agency’s chief on Friday.
“Yellow,” as a term for skin color, carries a generally negative, racist connotation among Asians.
MARTA officials were warned by an employee before the name change last October that Atlanta’s burgeoning Asian community would find the term for the line to Doraville offensive.
“Historically, it has had a derogatory intent,” said John Park, an attorney with the nonprofit Center for Pan Asian Community Services in Doraville, just down the hill from the Marta station. “It physically paints a very unattractive picture. I don’t consider myself ‘yellow.’”

In the spirit of cooperation and straight gettin’ stuff done, the House GOP is threatening to boycott a bipartisan health care summit if they don’t get exactly what they want: a complete do-over on health care.
Nevermind that they were soundly defeated by near-record margins in 2008 and that this issue has been debated for a year, to the GOP, the definition of America speaking is a special election in Massachusetts. We’ll of course keep that in mind if Massachusetts ever hold a referendum on gay marriage.
From the Washington Post:
Leading House Republicans raised the prospect Monday night that they might refuse to participate in President Obama’s proposed health care summit if the White House chooses not to scrap the existing reform bills and start over.
In a letter to White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, House Minority Leader John A. Boehner (Ohio) and Minority Whip Eric Cantor (Va.) expressed frustration at reports that Obama intends to put the Democratic bills on the table for discussion at the Feb. 25 summit.
“If the starting point for this meeting is the job-killing bills the American people have already soundly rejected, Republicans would rightly be reluctant to participate,” Boehner and Cantor wrote.

What else is there to know about Sir Ernest Shackleton? We’re not going to learn any more about his expeditions than Kenneth Branagh already told us, so bring on the booze! Except maybe we’ll learn that he had booze! Whatever!
Best part of the story, of course, is news that the Scots are particularly happy that Shackleton’s whiskey has been discovered so the manufacturer may “replicate the recipe.” Yeah, OK.
Thanks, CNN, for picking up this one (via TVNZ). And in case you’re wondering, it’s the most popular story on CNN right now. Video after the jump.
