Politico's Roger Simon loves John McCain!
I never mind flying with John McCain on tiny planes in snowy weather on windswept days. And that is because I know as long as he is on board, the plane is not going to crash.
The Onion's Jackie Harvey loves strawberry ice cream!
Oh boy, turn up the summer heat and you can't drag me away from an ice-cream float. You know my secret? Strawberry ice cream. It puts you in a whole new float dimension.
Politico's Roger Simon loves John McCain!
Optimism is very much on McCain's mind right now. He knows nobody gets elected to the presidency these days by being a sourpuss, and on his recent campaign swing in Iowa he was careful to show his sunnier side whenever possible.
It didn't always work, but it worked well enough. And, at the end of a long campaign day, when I found myself in an elevator with him in the Radisson Hotel in Davenport, Iowa, I mentioned to him that his appearances seemed to get stronger as the day went on.
The Onion's Jackie Harvey loves Queen Latifah!
That movie is Taxi, with Queen Levitra and Jimmy Fallen! Taxi has it all. It's a buddy comedy with Jimmy as a cop who can't drive and Queen as a taxi driver who can. Using her car, Queen helps Jimmy track down a drug dealer. Or killer. I have to watch it again to figure out which one it is. It really doesn't matter, since it's all just a backdrop for the sexual tension between the two fishes out of water. (Ka-pow! When are those two going to get it on?)

McCain also was careful to emphasize that all of our problems are going to work out just fine.
Why?
"Because I believe in America and the future of America," he said. "We are going to get it right. We are still the strongest nation in the world; we are still the best nation in the world."
The campaign is just beginning and more changes and style-shifts will come, but there is one thing I think McCain is dead wrong about.
"I feel," he said, "like Zsa Zsa Gabor's fifth husband, who said on their wedding night, 'I know what to do; I just don't know how to make it interesting.' "
I have a feeling that in the 2008 campaign, interesting is not going to be a problem.
The Onion's Jackie Harvey loves Reese Witherspoon!
I was kind of shaken up the other day when I heard that Reese Witherspoon was dead. I can't remember where the news came from, but for a few moments, I was under the impression that she had died in a car crash . No one I asked had heard anything about it. I thought I was crazy! But, it turns out that I was kind of right. She was just playing a ghost in a movie. I need to stop falling asleep in front of the TV. That stuff really gets into my brain. Maybe I'll take a little time to watch it tonight if I can get over to the theater in time after dropping off my old clothes at the thrift store.
