Patti Smith closed down CBGB last night. The New York Times writes an inappropriately dignified article about it.

Al Pirro moans that he's not getting enough attention, says the Albany Times-Union. If I may correct the gentleman, I think we've all heard more than we ever wanted to know about him, thank you very much.
Speaking of Jeanine, she debated Andrew last night, in case you missed it.

And, let's take it one step further and aim for the Arizona Senate as well.
