I should do roundups like this more often of the stuff I do on Twitter. -Jose Reyes' hair sells for $10,200 in charity auction. The hair will play SS for the Mets. -I largely agree with Victoria and with John McCain about Syria; the US has much stronger case for taking sides in Syria than it did in Libya. -Looking back at the sad death of Ron Luciano. -The one thing that's really booming in this economy - despite the best efforts of liberal activists and the Obama Administration to the contrary - is domestic oil and gas production. Frack, baby, frack! -Science fail: an Oklahoma state Senator is apparently unaware that baby-making requires both a sperm & an egg. -Yeah, sure, and being against Nazis is just what Elie Wiesel does to feel young & virile again. It is true that older people overestimate recurrence of the troubles of their youth. Ascribing this to "testosterone" is juvenile. -Yet another "better Romney argument than Romney is making" column, this one with good ideas from Jim Pethokoukis. Call it a Prospectus for America. -Dan Abrams debunks some of the myths around Citizens United. -Then: "core symbol of right-wing radicalism" Now: Democratic mainstream. We always knew a lot of the anti-war stuff was just partisanship. Of course, unlike Greenwald, I regard this as a good thing for the country. -Elvis Andrus focused on getting better. This seems like a unique goal to have. -The media's blind spot on religious liberty. -I'd forgotten that, for idiosyncratic reasons, Reagan actually won the popular vote in the GOP primaries in 1968. -The Wilpons try to get the Supreme Court interested in reversing a decision in the Madoff litigation.

G*^ (&*%^&*t. Your use of the "t.co." linkshortener caused me to click on a Glenn Greenwald post. That's just wrong. Posted by: A.S. at February 9, 2012 11:51 AMA.S., Um, "science fail" was a joke. Mr. Kuthcer. Paging, Mr. Kutcher. Posted by: Magrooder at February 10, 2012 2:07 PMRe the first entry, the Mets just announced that Reyes's hair will start the season on the 15 day DL.
