Shit you is what I do not at this present moment do: A new study supports the idea that super models flock together while individuals lacking the perfect face and body also stick together. “Beautiful people marry beautiful people and less beautiful people marry less beautiful people,” said Dan Ariely,* a professor of behavioral economics at MIT’s Program in Media Arts and Sciences and Sloan School of Management. That can’t

Guinness have a petition to make St. Patrick’s Day a national holiday. Even though I’m largely Irish by extraction, and love me some beer, I’m not very excited about the idea. Now, the day after Paddy’s . . . that would make sense.

At MyDD, Jerome Armstrong notes that the DNC may be operating with a double-standard in stripping Florida and Michigan of their delegates. The DNC Rules & Bylaws Committee imposed those sanctions on Florida and Michigan for moving up the dates of their primaries in violation of Rule 11.A. of the Delegate Selection Rules for the 2008 Democratic National Convention.

HAL: Well, forgive me for being so inquisitive but during the past few weeks, I’ve wondered whether you might be having some second thoughts about the mission. Dave: How do you mean?

Surf’s up on the Left after Sen. John McCain voted against a bill that would force the Central Intelligence Agency to adhere to limitations in the US Army Field Manual when interrogating terrorists.  The reaction of the misnamed ThinkProgress was typical: John McCain: He was against waterboarding before he was for it. Kevin Drum opines that Maverick has folded in the face of “a conservative base that’s righteously pissed off and

Full Speed Ahead! City Council unanimously apologizes to Marines.

Bliss! Creepy bliss!  With a sweet invitation like that, I simply don’t see how could I refuse! Happy Valentines Day to all you and all the guys over at PW. You always manage to put a smile on my face.

Barack Obama’s adviser David Plouffe claims a mantle of inevitability, and the Politico, the Washington Post and New York magazine suggest that Sen. Hillary Clinton’s coalition may be cracking.
