    I imagine his Life Coach must spend at least an hour a day coaching him on his hair.

    Does the phrase "Appalachian Trail" take on a new meaning after this revelation? #gavinnewsom

    I don't know why, but I find the idea of Larry Ellison as a Scientologist to be absolutely delicious. #tomcruise

    Why on earth would Tom Cruise be interested in moving to SF? I mean, economically, geographically or culturally . . . what of SF could possibly be of interest to Mr. Cruise?

    I just don't see it. #tomcruise

    In reply to Baseball Contest Divides New York Congressional Delegation
    Political aspirations be damned!

    Met fans are Met fans. Yankee fans are Yankee fans. My father watched the Yankees when there was absolutely no other baseball on television. Although we lived within spitting distance of the stadium (and I use "spitting" because I'm sure that's what he did when he walked by it), the family never went to a game. We traveled to Queens to see the Mets, by subway I might add.

    He hated the Yankees. I mean, HATED the Yankees. All because the team dragged their feet on integration. They were the second to last MLB team to integrate, just before the much hated Boston Red Sox.

    Now, if only these politicians stick to important convictions when they are elected, the world would be a better place. #congress

    @afterabe: There's a difference between being a fan of a team and being a dick about another team's good fortune. He wasn't being asked to give BJs to the entirety of the Yankees, they just asked him to sign a "Congratulations" letter, basically. It's just kind of a sad move. I mean, do you think every president wants and likes the players of every winning sports team? I mean, my god, can you imagine trying to have a conversation with Ben Roethlisberger? No, of course not, because that would be horrible, but they still invite them over or make a "Nice job!" phone call when teams win anyway.

    Thankfully no one will remember this in the future because who cares if a baseball fan (especially Mets fans, these days) acts like a big prick? That is called "Tuesday" so whatever. #congress

    Just remember, the alternative to Patterson is the one guy in Albany who is less likable than Spitzer, Andrew Cuomo, so get out your checkbooks and support this guy. It's just too bad Patterson isn't really, really fat. #davidpaterson

    In reply to Introducing the David Paterson 2010 Campaign
    The second ad is strange -- "I am smart and interesting so please forgive me for sucking at my job" -- but the first one is effective. Paterson needs to blame others for his problems while still appearing powerful and competent. It's a tough if not impossible balancing act (see: Jon Corzine).

    If I were Paterson's adviser, I'd tell him to do everything he can to get gay marriage through the legislature and run a 100% positive, graceful primary campaign. He would be known as an accidental and ultimately failed governor, but one who was done in by exogenous factors and who did something historic with his unexpected opportunity. He doesn't have a path to victory this time around, but the next few months could be a stepping stone to something meaningful in the future as long as he doesn't do anything too smarmy. I'm not particularly hopeful that it will turn out that way. #davidpaterson
