Hitler is a Snooki fan

Evidently, Hitler is a huge fan of snooki, the Situation, and the rest of those lovable rascals from the Jersey Shore. Effin hilarious.

Is water smarter than you? 

If water can be smarter, why can't the Mets front office be? A great video from IBM's Smarter Planet crew (and I'm not just saying that cause they're a client) ...

SOTU

I appeared on WPIX11 this morning to discuss the president's State of the Union address.  My basic take:  he checked off all the requisite boxes, but it had no flow.  I'm not sure I understand the president's agenda any more today than I did yesterday. 

Politico.com had a great line -- "it hit the political erogenous zones" of every major group.  Conservatives got some tax cuts and a spending freeze; liberals got a bank tax and new spending programs; even moderates got some bipartisan rhetoric on healthcare reform.

But there was no flow.  2010 will be all about jobs for the administration.  Voters want to see job creation and deficit control.  The rest of it is just background noise.  That was the message coming out of the Mass specialist election.  We'll see if the president got it ...
