Marty Turco of the Dallas Stars is a great goalie--he helped the last-place Stars upset the Detroit Red Wings last night.
Keep an eye on Republican Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee. He's been an effective critic of the auto bailout, and has been so on conservative grounds.
A liberal NY Times columnist is shocked to find out that "hooking up" is replacing dating:
"It turns out that everything is the opposite of what I remember. Under the old model, you dated a few times and, if you really liked the person, you might consider having sex. Under the new model, you hook up a few times and, if you really like the person, you might consider going on a date."
One reason for this, says a researcher, is declining "values."
Imagine that.
Memo from the left: now some liberal bloggers are claiming that Republicans in congress are blocking the auto bailout bill because they want the country to go into depression (which they can then blame on Obama).
And by the way, I'm amazed this non-story has gotten so much coverage.
Yes, the Obamas wished to use Blair House.
Well, guess what---it was already booked. They were too late.
If Obama is this man of the people his backers claim he is, then I'm
sure he must be fine with this--he wouldn't want to displace other
guests, who got their reservations in before he did, apparently.
He and his family will still be able to move in there in plenty of
time for the inauguration, and in the meantime will no doubt have very
comfy living quarters elsewhere in the 2 weeks or so before Jan. 15th.
Why on earth is this a story?
Is there anyone out there who thinks there was wrongdoing here, or
that the Obamas were being stiffed or something??? Good grief.
