There’s a Pirate Party. And it’s not Halloween-related. “I am the only drunken Pirate seeking office in this great nation,” says James Hill, a candidate for Congress in Iowa. Why not? - Chantilly school teacher said to be torturing students.
- Nerds play Fantasy Congress: “As in other fantasy sports, you – the Citizen – draft a team of real-life legislators from the U.S. Congress and score points for your team’s successes. Join a league and compete against other Citizens, or form a league of your own!” Um, no.
- “The Capital Club has no mission except to show its members and their many dates a good time,” Jayne Sandman, associate publisher of Capitol File, told the NY Times re: the club’s annual Swine on the Vine party. “It’s hedonistic relief from a city of suits and ties.” So, does that mean pages are invited, too?
- Tigers on top, again. Roar. But was there soil involved?
- John Edwards’ wife is bitchy. Happy, but bitchy.
- Google Earth. Politically useful? Or still just lame?
- Supreme Court Justices Antonin Scalia and Samuel A. Alito Jr., gave Italians some love on Saturday. (Note the vowel-ending last names.) Agreed that the press sucks sausage.
- We can thank that crazy Jane Pauly for Doonesbury’s continued poignancy.
- Andy Rooney is old and late. “Someone – and I guess it’s President Bush – has to tell us what in the world we’re doing in Iraq now,” he said on a new 60 Minutes last night. ”I don’t think any of us know.”
- We saw The Departed and Infamous this weekend, and recommend both films. Juliet Stevenson’s impression of former Vogue editor Diana Vreeland in the latter was especially saucy, and, God, we just know that we’re going to end up just like her one day.
