Willard Mitt Romney offered some thoughts on his grandchildren’s names while speaking with Dennis Miller. It’s worth unpacking this gem:
“A few months ago we had twins come in (1), and you can’t believe what they’re named: Winston and Eleanor (2). [Laughs.] (3) I mean, it’s going back to the glorious days of the thirties and forties (4), I guess. But these are just darling little infants, and to have such big names on them is really something, although they call them Ellie and Win … When I heard Winston and Eleanor, I thought, It sounds like two English bulldogs (5), but they’re adorable children.”
1. Like from a catalog? Were they having a two-for-one special?
2. Say it with me: “Willard. Mitt. Romney.” You don’t get to poke fun at anyone else’s name, Willard, Father of Tagg.
3. “An old-timey name. Ha ha ha, marvelous!”
4. Some terms you might have used to describe two decades of war and depression besides “glorious”: traumatic, agonizing, brutal.
5. Okay, this is true and adorable. You win this round, Willard.

There’re at least two things wrong with this official Department of Education website quoting Mao Zedong:
1. Mao probably meant “to be insatiable in learning,” not “satiable.”
2. WHY ARE YOU QUOTING MAO ZEDONG ON A U.S. GOVERNMENT WEBSITE?
UPDATE: The new QOTD reads, “Sorry there is no quote of the of the today” [SIC!]

By all means, keep talking about Jay Leno and Jimmy Fallon.
I was just thinking about this guy the other day. Not sure why. Maybe I ate something. Anyway, it turns out he sold his West Hollywood house for $2.9 million last summer.

The MySpace Tom Twitter kerfuffle made me wonder if MySpace Tom is on Tumblr.
