Not having anything better to do, the NY Times’ Jim Rutenberg, Marilyn W. Thompson, David D. Kirkpatrick, and Stephen Labaton have spent the last few days researching and resurrecting an 8 year old story about a relationship that everyone involved denies and tying it back into the Keating 5 scandal.

I don’t think it’s his looks, but not being known as a fine judge of male pulchritude I could be wrong.

Brian McNamee, the star witness in the Congressional inquiry on steroids in baseball, related the story of Mrs. Roger Clemens showing Mrs. Jose Canseco her boobs and in return Mrs. Canseco flashing hers back.

Paul Krugman is a funny guy. At least I think he is – I mean I am assuming that it is his dry wit shining through when he complains about the “Clinton Rules” in use by the US media:
the term a number of observers use for the way pundits and some news organizations treat [...]

Dear Tina Daunt (columnist of the Los Angeles Times):
David Geffen did not buy the Los Angeles Times. He is not your boss. You do not have to do his bidding nor kiss his ass. Yes he is a powerful, vindictive individual used to getting his own way but the press is supposed to be immune [...]
