Now that Joe the Plumber has made the ever-so-natural transition into Joe the War Correspondent, perhaps the media will become more legitimate and friendly in the eyes of Palin.

@DontFearTheReefer: Sarah Palin's children's names—and now the name of her first grandchild—now officially sound like sound effects for an enthusiastically-told "Billy Goats Gruff" bedtime story.

I don't believe that Phoebe Price can be included in this list on the same basis that you don't include Wayne Gretsky in lists of the top 10 amateur hockey players.

@TheFormerJuneBronson: Such an interesting monster, too. My stars, if an interesting monster can't have an interesting hairdo, then I don't know what things are coming to. In my business you meet so many interesting people - Bobby pins, please - but the most interersting ones are the monsters. Oh, dear, that will…

@shewar: Oh yes, oh yes! Swing it, hep cats!

I shall take a long pause to honour Pinter's memory.

There's DNA all over my bed. My husband and I are way compatible.

@SouthernComfort: It's Blackie!

Jaysus.

I got my reasonably priced and v. elegant wedding dress from J. Crew. I'm a fan.

I think Jethro Clampett would be the only one truly turned on by this outfit.

I think the come-hither look on the winsome lassie is what brings the whole outfit together.

@Elaken: I think this was the one piece of news that actually made me smile. I love that she is so openly supportive of extended breastfeeding.

@tonightineed has a yeast infection and is not pleased: Heh. Crocs used to be the fashion crime I railed against. I said they had no business going anywhere outside the garden.

@I am the lizard queen: It was -30°C when I walked to work this morning. My feet were toasty warm. I was wishing I had two more pairs for my hands and head.

I am unrepentant about my Ugg love. They are magically warm and comfortable during this particular Canadian cold snap.

@Don't Get It Twisted: I have an inexplicable yet unrepentant crush on Joe the Veep.

So snoofy. Too bad a scratch 'n' sniff option isn't available on the Internet. I bet their toes smell like popcorn.

They actually look like a completely adorable couple. Perhaps after she moves through her Dating Douchebags 101 phase, she and Owen can hook up.

@AbbyNormal: The world can always use one more hot lefty.
