Feeling old, Bunky? I blame Jeff. Protein Wisdom challenged by Breitbart.TV (about 70 min. in) Blogger writes really long article for NYT Magazine. If you have the ambition, please read it and tell me if there’s anything good in it. I read 2 1/2 pages and still didn’t give a shit. UPDATE: Jiminkc says: “Attention whore comes to loathe the attention, whines about it a lot.” I’m kinda shooting from

Though I have often looked at the white male swing vote here at pw, Gallup notes that the current head-to-head match-up has Barack Obama losing white women to John McCain by 9 points.  It is possible that this reflects some latent disgruntlement among some women over the technically ongoing contest between Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Those pesky Florida Joooooooooooooooos: At the Aberdeen Golf and Country Club on Sunday, the fountains were burbling, the man-made lakes were shining, and Shirley Weitz and Ruth Grossman were debating why Jews in this gated neighborhood of airy retirement homes feel so much trepidation about Senator Barack Obama. “The people here, liberal people, will not vote for Obama because of his attitude towards Israel,” Ms. Weitz, 83, said, lingering over
