Much prettier than Wilford Brimley
-Forget S. Carolina, he wins the hot babe primary-
Returning from the Persian Gulf, where she met with troops stationed there, Scarlett Johansson was asked about rumors that she'd gotten engaged to her boyfriend Ryan Reynolds.
"I am engaged ... to Barack Obama," she joked. "My heart belongs to Barack, and that is who I am currently, finally, engaged to. Yes." In the celebrity endorsement primary -- which traditionally and historically means absolutely nothing -- Obama now clearly wins hands down. Forget Oprah.
Look at the other candidates. Mike Huckabee's endorsed by Chuck Norris. John McCain has Sylvester Stallone and, to make Stallone look like a young guy, old-guy character actor Wilford Brimley. Hillary Clinton has Barbara Streisand. It's like the fogie convention.
Barring a late endorsement by Angelina Jolie for someone else, Obama gets the horny twenty-something straight guy demographic. (AP)
-Heads up-
A US spy satelllite is expected to crash to Earth as its orbit decays. According to the report, "Department of Defense spokesman Bryan Whitman said the satellite, which has lost power, would land 'over the next several weeks ... late February, early March time-frame.'" Since it's lost power, DoD is saying that they have no idea where it will land at this time.
The problem here is that some spy satellites are in a geosynchronous orbit, meaning they orbit the Earth at the same speed that the Earth rotates -- effectively floating above the same spot continuously. You'd assume -- and I could be wrong here -- that if this orbit decays, the satellite will come down pretty damned close to the spot it was spying on.
Which could conceiveably be a pretty embarrassing disclosure. If it comes down in Iran or North Korea -- hey, no big surprise. If, however, it comes down from what is generally considered friendly skies -- say Canada or your back yard -- then someone might have a little explainin' to do, depending on the trajectory.
Either way, I wouldnt worry too much about getting killed by the falling eyeball. According to a report I heard on the radio, the odds of being hurt by this are about one in a trillion. Still, hold on to that rabbit's foot, just to be safe. (AFP)
-Headline of the day-
"Alan Keyes Just Like Jesus."
Except blacker and crazier.
The unstoppable Alan Keyes machine chugs toward the GOP presidential nomination with seriously goofy rhetoric. According to the Keyes campaign, an unnamed supporter tells us this story; "When I talk to people of like mind who I think would be supportive of the presidential aspirations of Alan Keyes, their invariable response is 'I'm familiar with Alan Keyes, I agree with everything he says. But, he can't win.'"
But the supporter has a comeback; "'Who would you have voted for on the day of our Lord's crucifixion: Jesus or Barabbas?' Barabbas was the favorite, since he had the approval of the most influential portion of the population. But, which person has received the approval of history and, most importantly, which one had the approval of God?"
Here's an interesting question -- voted for what? For Messiah? Was that a matter of popular opinion? You'd think that Jesus would have an unfair advantage in that contest, what with being the Son of God and all...
Somehow, I get the feeling that this unnamed supporter who came up with this argument was some guy named Alan Keyes. (Right Wing Watch)

You asked, "voted for what?"
For who to release, of course.
Matthew 27:
15 Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to releasing to the multitude one prisoner whom they wished. 16 And at that time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas. 17 Therefore, when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?” 18 For he knew that they had handed Him over because of envy.
19 While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that just Man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of Him.”
20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus. 21 The governor answered and said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?”
They said, “Barabbas!”
22 Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?”
They all said to him, “Let Him be crucified!”
23 Then the governor said, “Why, what evil has He done?”
But they cried out all the more, saying, “Let Him be crucified!”
24 When Pilate saw that he could not prevail at all, but rather that a tumult was rising, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this just Person.[d] You see to it.”
25 And all the people answered and said, “His blood be on us and on our children.”
26 Then he released Barabbas to them; and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be crucified.
