Weekend Link Orgy

* Proof that good-looking people can pretty much do nothing and still be loved by all.

* Poetic Justice: Former Sec. of Homeland Security gets stopped by TSA all the time. "They think I'm a plant." The Chief has no pity.

* When special interest groups collide: burgeoning multi-billion dollar industry vs. irrelevant prudes. Two men enter. One man leaves.

* Why's the Packer-Giants game is going to be played at night? Snow = ratings.

* Racine residents: If you're not interested in those fetuses WRL sent you this week, Wonkette will totally take them off your hands.

* The party warned you, Florida and Michigan, not to mess with the primary calender ...

* Ah, the perils of politicking in Nevada: "When the porn convention came to town everybody knew," Parker explains. "When the election is the next week -- and there was a debate -- nobody knows." On the other hand, I think there is obviously a solution to enhancing voter turnout somewhere wrapped in that quote.

* The Russians are trying to contact aliens ... the intergalactic kind.

* Sweet, Jesus, this could be the funniest thing, maybe ever:
Comic superstar Will Ferrell is preparing to run for president — as part of a one-man show he’s looking to take to Broadway later this year.

According to the star of “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy,” “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby” and the upcoming basketball comedy “Semi-Pro,” he’ll create a new character and give a stump speech, take questions from the audience and even show some political commercials that should poke fun at the entire campaigning process.
