Scott and Liz track down the guy who doctored the video. TV Newser & Huffington appear to have stripped the annotation stating that it wasn’t what he actually said. Boo hoo. Self-esteem now a fungible commodity at law.

Mary was going to head out of town tomorrow afternoon to do some consulting work, but it’s going to have to be tonight. I’m taking her to the rental place. See ya later. … WINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 7 AM SUNDAY TO 7 AM EST MONDAY… THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN BURLINGTON HAS ISSUED A WINTER STORM WARNING FOR HEAVY SNOW FOR ALL OF VERMONT AND THE CHAMPLAIN

I am almost certainly not watching, but if you plan to, and you’re looking for a way to make them at all interesting or relevant, you can go to Big Hollywood, where they’ll be liveblogging this radical, avant garde, anti-establishment event.

Everyone here can already guess what I’d write about this were I to launch into some long, jargon-filled bit of semiotic instruction — Christ, just read through the greatest hits posts on intentionalism. What was obvious to me from the get go — and I said this at the time — was that an Obama administration was going to be “post-racial” in the same way an Amanda Marcotte lecture on

It may seem obvious that men perceive women in sexy bathing suits as objects, but now there’s science [!] to back it up. New research shows that, in men, the brain areas associated with handling tools and the intention to perform actions light up when viewing images of women in bikinis. (h/t RS McCain) Thanks, science!
