    Say what you will, but this kid's been in the spotlight for over a year now, and he's somehow keeping his head above water. No major scandals, no huge slipups, no publicly-pressured apologies for something weird he did when he was 12... He's making money and acting as permanent bete noir to the Republican Icon, and no one can do anything about it.

    It's kind of admirable. #levijohnston

    @limber: What? The whole thing is a scandal, a slipup, a public manipulation. He's built his house on a foundation of public pressure. It would all be fine with me if he would just show some wang already. #levijohnston

    I might as well bust out of the closet: I like Levi Johnston.

    His good looks coupled with that perennial "aw-shucks" vibe do a number of me. He's like a contemporary iteration of Huck Finn--a good-hearted white-trash boy with a streak of fundamental decency who fell in with some unsavory company and got swayed by the dark currents swirling around him. Not intelligent, but shrewd in that instinctive way in which smart-yet-uneducated people often are. An innocent who believes that he's manipulating circumstances to his advantage even as other, more nefarious and skilled behind-the-curtain players manipulate HIM. A handsome pawn who thinks himself a knight. A dumb, good-looking, a-hole saint.

    I find it interesting that Levi was difficult to approach because he was flanked by enormous black men. Would enormous white man-flankange be more easily passed? #levijohnston

    The Evening Standard ran a piece today about how glossy magazines like Vogue and Tatler are still going strong in the UK. "Compared to the calamitous situation in the United States..."

    @BowlingForDollars: I guess it depends on their readership, or lack of it.
    If they are geared towards an older demographic, then its just wasted time online activity. From the cover articles on this particular one, it seems its base is 40+. #media

    My People rep just sent out a good-bye email today, so I'm assuming that while they offered buy-outs to the editorial staff, they just plain laid off some of the sales staff. #media
