   In trutina
   

   In trutina mentis dubia
   Fluctuant contraria
   Lascivus amor et pudicitia

   Sed eligo quod video
   Collum iugo prebeo
   Ad iugum tamen suave transeo

   In my own wavering balance
   Desire fluctuates with modesty
   But I choose what I see

   I bow my neck to the yoke
   For the burden is sweeter after all
   And so I take it upon me

   Pamela Anderson posed for photographs on the red carpet, following on the heels of Jane Fonda, who stepped into the store to join the likes of Ed Ruscha, Reese Witherspoon, Kristen Stewart, Gwen Stefani, Gwyneth Paltrow and Woody Harrelson, who milled about and chatted amiably while team McCartney — Paul (accompanied by wife Nancy Shevell) and fashion designer-daughter Stella shook hands and greeted celebri-fans gathered to watch the video.

   It was a rare moment indeed to watch A-list celebrities act like star-struck teens in front of the musician. “I’m such a fan — obviously,” said a wide-eyed Zooey Deschanel as she shook Paul’s hand. Following that, a proud mother introduced her 8-year-old daughter to Sir Paul, saying: “She can play all your songs on the piano!” as Ginnifer Goodwin looked on.*my valentine

   Nate Silver prepping the battlefield.

   12. Don’t over-learn the lessons of history. A final and more general point is that there have been only 16 presidential elections since World War II. That simply isn’t a lot of data, and overly specific conclusions from them, like “no recent president has been re-elected with an unemployment rate over 8.0 percent” or “no recent incumbent has lost when he did not face a primary challenge,” are often not very meaningful in practice and will generally not carry much predictive weight.

   Translation: Life is expectations. The econometric political models will and are forecasting an Obama loss, so everyone with me, down the memory hole they go.
