Those things make happiness.

God, how I still love private readers. It’s what we all used to be.

I think it’s just fantastic that so many Americans are eager to elect Sarah Palin president. That she would need to write the answers to a pre-screened, pre-selected Q&A on her hand—and that it would be the three basic planks of her own supposed platform she specifically needed to be reminded aboutduring a speech in which she mocked Obama for his supposed over-reliance on the teleprompter: well, you know, that’s just dynamite you know.

It is completely illogical for most people to get so animated about a sporting event, even one as COMPLETELY AMAZING as this was. I had no money on the game. I am not a resident of New Orleans. I am not now nor have I ever been a member of the Saints organization. But in those moments—and even still right now, although that may have more to do with the fact that a significant amount of alcohol remains in my bloodstream—there was absolutely NOTHING ON EARTH that was more exciting. Hopefully we all have something in our lives that can occasionally give us those sharp bursts of pure joy. I guess it is harmless enough that there’s no reason to be ashamed of it, but, yeah, I was pretty much a kid for the entire second half (I was a regular foul-mouthed adult during the first half.) When you think of the ridiculous lengths people go to to celebrate an event like this—hell, look at the ridiculous lengths people go to just for the ads—you have to believe there’s some larger, animating purpose to it.

For when you have 40 mins. I had such a hard time with FoxNews.com’s video player. Hated it.

Having lived within eye-shot of America’s birthplace for 34 of my 36 years, I’ve come to accept that it’s always the classiest of days when 18,000 people get down to the Wachovia Center before sunrise with a few cocktails already in ‘em, ready to repeatedly scream that they should be shown tits. (It’s our birthright, Philly haters.) Anyway, this attractive early-twenties blonde named “Deanna” was among the 128 “Wingettes” asked – nay, ordered – to flash mammary flesh at Wing Bowl. It’s an event concocted by WIP-AM radio to distract us from the fact that, in 17 of the 18 years it’s been held, the Eagles weren’t in the Super Bowl.

Hachette Book Group USA became the second major U.S. publisher to officially announce its intention to move to an agency model for the sale of e-books. In a letter sent to agents Thursday night, CEO David Young said that after considering the new pricing models for some time, it decided the agency model made the most sense for the entire industry. As Young sees it, the agency model lets “Hachette make pricing decisions that are rational and reflect the value of our authors’ works. In the long run this will enable Hachette to continue to invest in and nurture authors’ careers – from major blockbusters to new voices. Without this investment in our authors, the diversity of books available to consumers will contract, as will the diversity of retailers, and our literary culture will suffer.

Boy meets girl online. Boy falls for girl. Boy moves from Peru to Seattle. Boy marries girl. Girl teaches boy to ski, at 34 years old. Boy makes Olympic team. It’s the oldest story in the book.

If Wes Anderson directed Spider-Man, a well done trailer.
