  1. My 9 yr. old on why her earrings keep breaking: "I have so complex ears."
  2. Visiting Baltimore, where my girls and I will spend Mem Day weekend watching the first place Orioles play. Is this a great country or what?
  3. I had The Talk with my 11-yr-old daughter tonight, by which I mean the designated hitter rule. She was horrified.
  4. Poor Carla Bruni. Yesterday she was First Lady of France. Today she's married to an unemployed garden gnome. #frenchelections
  5. The Orioles last finished first during the Clinton Administration—and I mean VP George Clinton, 1739-1812.
  6. Posted today on TED.com: My TED talk on the power of siblings. ted.com/talks/jeffrey_…
  7. Climate change and tiny people? Could be: ti.me/yq51EI
  8. Haven't lived in Balto since '79, but as Md. becomes 8th state to ratify gay marriage, I'm proud to have a little Chesapeake Bay in my blood
  9. Angry man shoots daughter's laptop. Angry man wonders why child protective services shows up. Angry man clearly isn't smart man.
  10. Quoting Alex Castellanos: In Nevada, Romney beat Gingrich "in every demographic but divorce lawyers and narcissists."
  11. Romney clip: "I'm not concerned about the very poor." Listen at 53-sec mark. Soledad O'Brien's head hitting her desk? bit.ly/wAzdOl
  12. I figured it out: Newt Gingrich is a Pixar character--the crazy, evil one. Think Mr. Waternoose, from Monsters Inc. bit.ly/A9oz4i
  13. Oh Russia, why are you so paranoid? ti.me/zsGUrB
  14. @seanmgregory Bite your tongue.
  15. Maureen Dowd calls Romney "Mittens"--her attempt at an Internet meme. In 2008 she called Obama "Obambi.' It went viral--in her columns.
  16. Tim Tebow makes me splutter. Not many people make me splutter, but he does.
  17. Not to put too fine a point on it, but Wolf Blitzer makes my ears bleed.
  18. Happy New Year to the mainstream media, dammit. You don't like the world with us in it? Try it without us.
  19. Buy a bulb, give a gift and light up Haiti: ti.me/rUY9Ta
  20. Headline on Politico: "Newt Goes Negative." Isn't that a little like saying "Carrot Top Goes Goofy"? It sorta' defines the brand.
