If there’s a heaven, it is no doubt a funnier place tonight. And wonder who will be to say that to Nora Ephron. –

One of my favorite Ephron quotes: ““Insane people are always sure that they are fine. It is only the sane people who are willing to admit that they are crazy.”

On November 16, 2008, the President-elect appeared on CBS’ 60 Minutes and called for a college football playoff. So once again, tonight we blame Obama. –

Following Obama’s “thank you” to Boston for trading Kevin Youlikis to the White Sox, Mitt Romney’s campaign accused the President of choosing to “mock” Red Sox fans “when the team is struggling.” But Boston is now over .500 and has won 7 of 10. Sounds like Mitt is as in touch with baseball as he is with the rest of the country.

Train wreck update: Rielle Hunter has announced that “as of the end of last week, John Edwards and I are no longer a couple,” saying “media scrutiny” had worn them down. Gosh, wonder if a tour for a “tell-all” book had anything to do with that?
–
Even Kim Kardashian is starting to think that Rielle Hunter is a media whore.

Egypt’s new president Mohamed Morsi apparently will appoint a woman as vice president. And yet another country jumps ahead of the U.S.

Tumi, the high-end luggage, briefcase, handbag manufacture, is now advertising a $495 carrier for your small pet. And we wonder why other countries hate us?

The San Diego Padres (27-47)), beat the Houston Astros (30-43), 8 to 7 Monday night in 10 innings. Wonder how many of the announced crowd of 14,483 (includes season tickets sold) were left at game’s end?

Jamie Moyer is heading to Toronto. Good for him but what a waste with the timing – Moyer gets into the Canadian healthcare system just when he would have been eligible for Medicare.
–
Will this make Moyer the first Toronto “Gray Jay?”
–
The real reason Jamie Moyer signed with the Toronto Blue Jays? He always wanted to play with that “nice young man,” Omar Vizquel.
–
My friend Ben Burnett’s comment “Toronto signed 49-year-old left-hander Jamie Moyer to a minor league contract, according to a report on the team’s website late Monday……his fastball sounds great if you convert to metric.”

Mitt Romney has a t-shirt design contest for supporters. Presumably the winning entry will have different and opposing slogans on each side?

The NBA fined Amare Stoudemire $50,000 after he tweeted a response to a fan using an expletive and a gay slur. Smartphones really should come with a warning: “Caution, engage brain before putting fingers in gear.”
