| Interview With Mike Huckabee; Interview With Mike McConnell
Last night you tried your hand at "Saturday Night Live," during the "Weekend Update" segment. I want to play a little segment of the show. And then we'll talk about it on the other side.
Let's listen.
HUCKABEE: All right.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
SETH MEYERS, "SNL WEEKEND UPDATE ANCHOR": Even if you won every remaining unpledged delegate, you would still fall 200 delegates short.
(LAUGHTER)
HUCKABEE: Wow. Seth, that was an excellent explanation.
(LAUGHTER)
But I'm afraid that you overlooked the all-important superdelegates. Don't forget about them.
MEYERS: Well, I won't forget about them. But the superdelegates are only in the Democratic primaries.
'SNL': CNN Debate Moderators 'Totally in the Tank for Senator Obama'
As a post facto thought, was NBC mocking the news media for being so in the tank for Obama, or not being in the tank for Hillary? Bear in mind that this show emanates from her "home" state where she did well in the primaries. As such, if you watch this again, is this more of a smack at CNN for not getting on Hillary's bandwagon than so obviously being pro-Obama? —Noel Sheppard is an economist, business owner, and Associate Editor of NewsBusters. .

Imagine a state-of-the-art environmental, cultural and entertainment center on the shores of Lake Red Rock, a place to spend a day or a week, with a focus on the Des Moines River watershed. That is the hope of a consortium of educators, conservationists and state and federal agencies, and the groups have been staging a series of informational meetings to unveil their plans. One such presentation was held at the Newton DMACC campus on Wednesday morning.The Cordova Center, an estimated $50 million project along the northern shores of Lake Red Rock, would create an interactive, multi-use learning center near the park's existing observation tower, as well as an outdoor amphitheater, additional cabins, a larger picnic area and an extension to the lake's Volksweg Trail.The partners, including the Marion County Conservation Board, U.S.

Wal-mart's giving Southern Shopping Center businesses a reason to ...
If they're waiting for their computer to be fixed, they do some shopping, then come back," he said. Consumer Viola Needham has been drawn to Wal-Mart because it's less busy than the one close to her house on Military Highway, she said. Needham, who's retired, opened her plastic bag and pulled out two bras. She paid about $18 for both at Wal-Mart. They cost $20 at the nearby Kmart, she said. "It just gives you more shopping power," Needham said of the retailer's prices. Tristan Lucas, an Old Dominion University junior who once lived in Bentonville, unloaded her young daughter from her shopping cart, which ballooned over with groceries. "It's not my No. 1 choice of a store," she said, "but whenever you get everything in one place, it's convenient." Jennifer Jiggetts, (757) 446-2643, jennifer.jiggetts@pilotonline.com .

Report: Rosie O'Donnell In Cable News Talks
The New York Times says Rosie O'Donnell, who left "The View" on ABC last spring after drawing attention and ratings for her opinions, is in serious discussions to return to television on the cable news channel MSNBC. Citing executives on both sides of the negotiations, the Times says one scenario has O'Donnell hosting a 9 p.m. show each weeknight. O'Donnell would take on two heavyweights of cable talk: "Larry King Live" on CNN and "Hannity & Colmes" on Fox News. Her show would replace "Live with Dan Abrams," a relatively low-rated program. .

Petitions against gender-bender bill spawn harassment, possible ...
A citizens group in Maryland's most populous county is considering legal action against two transgender activists accused of harassing and intimidating residents taking part in a petition drive to overturn a new law that bars discrimination against so-called "gender identity and expression." The group Citizens for Responsible Government (CRG) says it has collected far more than the 25,000 signatures of registered voters needed by March 9 to put up for referendum a law in Montgomery County that effectively declares transgender people and transvestites a protected class. CRG and other conservative groups warn the law would allow men confused about their gender to use public locker rooms and restrooms designated for females. CRG spokeswoman Michelle Turner says two transgender activists approached a number of petition gatherers and signers last week and began harassing them at Montgomery County grocery stores, "telling them that they had to leave the area, that the signatures were illegal, and just making folks very uncomfortable with the environment and what was going on." According to Turner, one of those individuals is a senior staff member with Councilwoman Duchy Trachtenberg, who is the chief sponsor of the bill.
Wexner snags acts on verge of greatness
Before she became an unlikely iPod spokeswoman, a little-known singer named Leslie Feist was on Chuck Helm's radar. The indie-folk songstress from Canada would make a perfect fit for the arty, in-the-know crowd that frequents the Wexner Center for the Arts, he thought. "I just kind of had a feeling she was breaking at that point," said Helm, director of performing arts at the center. Three months ago, he booked Feist for next Sunday as part of the "Next @ Wex" concert series -- which highlights up-and-coming musical acts. He turned out to be prophetic: Soon after, the Feist song 1234 appeared in an Apple commercial, and the singer performed on Saturday Night Live and catapulted into the musical mainstream. Thanks to mounting buzz for Feist (and the center's intensive marketing efforts in blog, print and TV media), the show is almost sold out.
On the brink of the wild, Alaska's largest city grows up
Strip malls have replaced strip clubs, big-box stores draw more customers than bars and residential neighborhoods have supplanted the RV parks that once sprawled across the state's most populous city. Located in southcentral Alaska, Anchorage is the economic capital of a state more than twice the size of Texas."Anchorage has kind of grown up," said Alaska author and longtime resident Charles Wohlforth, who writes the annual Alaska travel guide for Frommer's. "It's left its adolescence and is becoming more of a mature city."The tumultuous years of oil-fueled booms and busts in the 1970s and '80s, have given way to two decades of steady growth, as Anchorage's economy has expanded to include burgeoning retail, health care and tourist industries. Since the mid-1990s, its air cargo hub has become one of the three largest in the world.
