    From Gail Collins yesterday:

    “I spent the last five days crying in Argentina,” he said, completely ignoring all we have learned from Andrew Lloyd Webber.

    I'm still giggling thanks to a friend of jobob's. Of course, the stupid refrain is stuck in my head.

    OMG, I can't believe I didn't think of that! Too too funny

    I hope his wife takes all his money and marries the pool boy.

    It's her money already. She's part of the Skil power tool family. Just think of the possibilities . . . .

    "My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure."

    I'm all over the place. New york times, financial times, bbc world, huffington post, generally if I'm reading a story about iran or whatever - go find an Iranian news paper. Get a couple different sources. Is it real then? So I end up on a lot of other news sites regularly in addition to those.

    and I don't even have to get black smudges on my fingers from newsprint.

    Yeah, me too. I am a total online news junkie. There used to be a Tehran Globe but my bookmark for that now does not find it. Al Jazeera English is sometimes worth a look, as is the Middle East Daily, and Malaysiakini.com is really interesting. And the Lebanon Daily Star (dailystar.com.lb).

    Hey, I was actually SO taken by Gail Collins' column on this yesterday that I emailed her to say "Great column; been meaning to tell you I like your work." I was reading parts of it out loud to my spouse in the next room and laughing immoderately. "Finally, a governor who’s weirder than Rod Blagojevich and less responsible than Eliot Spitzer." Thank you, Gail.
