Multiple Fails of the Day
Newt Gingrich fails to collect 10,000 valid signatures in his adopted home state and is disqualified from the Virginia primary ballot. Campaign director Michael Krull blames Virginia’s “failed system” and vows a write-in campaign, presumably unaware Virginia does not allow write-in campaigns. Later on Facebook, Krull amends the blame to Virginia’s “cumbersome...

“A funny woman, no matter how conventionally lovely, generally has to accept that she’ll also be perceived as a little bit funny looking. When she gets a laugh, she risks subliminally conveying the message that she’s making up for some hidden deficiency, that she’s sad or irreparably broken.” -Meghan Daum, Christopher Hitchens Gets the Last Laugh, L.A.

Urbaniak Double Podcast Monday!
I play historical characters in two comedy podcasts with period settings posted today: J. Edgar Hoover for The Apple Sisters and Ferdinando Sacco (a la Jack Lemmon, opposite John DiMaggio’s Vanzetti-as-Matthau) in The Thrilling Adventure Hour. Only one has a Halloween theme although both could be accurately described as “spooktacular.” Treat yourself now!

His campaign staff was given the name of one woman who complained last week, and it was repeated to Cain on Sunday.

BTW, nearly everyone involved in this is also...

GUY 1: You see that movie on TV last night, “Raging Bull?” GUY 2: Yeah, great movie. Too bad it’s in black and white. GUY 1: Ah, they’ll probably colorize it.
