I wish they would respond “you first”

Biden urges Israel to ‘take risks for peace’

Wait, what?

There are showers in the House of Representatives, with no curtains, and Rep. Massa and Rahm Emanuel had a naked argument there? Take a few days off from reading the news and that’s what I come back to?

Massa also calls Emanuel spawn of the devil. Well, of course. Video here.

Perhaps now’s the time to make some

Paterson: “I don’t have any plans to resign.”

One month of Sadie

Time stood still while I was pregnant but now that Sadie is here, it’s flying. I can’t believe it’s been a month already (and this month is the oddity of being both exactly 4 weeks since she was born and also numerically a month–born Feb.5). Happy birthday, Sades (mine)! Sadles (IC’s)! Sadie Bug (My sister-in-law)! Chika chika Slim Sadie (my brother)! For your two month birthday maybe we’ll get you your own blog.

She has the coolest dark blue eyes ever. I try very hard to capture them but it never really works out. This is the best pic of them that I’ve got:

I enjoy watching her try to reach her pacifier:

She furrows her brow a lot (and not just when she’s having a bad hair day):

…causing us to be concerned that she’ll be a very serious child like her father was:

And not a smiley happy go lucky child like her mother:

Maybe it’s too soon to tell. At least her hair is starting to turn a little red (that’s her with her uncle Ronnie):

An embarrassing state

Oh good, Eliot Spitzer’s Madam is running for governor. Her platform? Legalize marijuana, prostitution and gay marriage. I’d criticize her priorities in a time of economic crisis, but after the last two bozos, whatever, let’s give the pimp a shot!

Jon Stewart’s take on the Paterson situation below:

Adds, “Duh”

Harold Ford: I could’ve won

NY Post political writer Maggie Haberman: If people think they can win, they run.

Well, there goes that

NY Post: Ford not running against Sen. Gillibrand

Like the Paterson race, this was going to be a comical campaign. Too bad neither is happening, NY is missing out on some fun races.
