...grows longer and more serpentine with every note puffed on it; or when Nemo, now in an urban setting, is pursued by apartment building on long metallic legs; or when he, Flip and Imp get lost in overgrown weeds - the eyebrow of Nemo's grandfather. In a strip that ran on New Year's Eve, 1905, Father Time leads Nemo through a celestial hall of file cabinets. When the lad holds any large number - 9, 15, 25, 48 - he instantly becomes that age, until he's a creaky 99-year-old. That wakes him up in no time...
...then came Joe Biden. On Wednesday, announcing his run for President, he praised his Senate colleague and presidential rival Barack Obama as "articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," and declared that this was a first for African American presidential candidates. The Rev. Al Sharpton, who ran for president in 2004, informed Biden, who called to apologize, that he takes a bath every day. Sharpton is good at moments like this. He manages to declare himself available for compensatory pandering, without pretending that he doesn't get the joke. But generally, the first thing that happens when...
Kristol is right that Hillary's position on Iraq is going to be problematic and that Al Gore would be a huge threat to win the nomination if he ran. But I doubt Gore will run. There is a candidate in the field whom Hillary--and the Republicans--should fear.

Consider a former President who, like Obama, hailed from Illinois, lacked a long career in national politics...
...know this because the host of America's Next Top Model announced what she weighs, 161 lbs., on the cover of PEOPLE, CNN's Larry King Live and her eponymous syndicated talk show. She put out the all-points bulletin about her weight after tabloid magazines and newspapers ran photos of her in a bathing suit beneath such headlines as AMERICA'S NEXT TOP WADDLE and TYRA PORK CHOP. The former SPORTS ILLUSTRATED swimsuit-issue cover girl, who says she has gained about 30 lbs. since quitting modeling, fought back with a barrage of interviews in which she proclaimed...
...this is suddenly permissible for presidential candidates. Beinart's good black/bad black dynamic is the sort of armchair logic that comes from not spending much time around actual black people. As the New Republic points out, Sharpton has an overstated following among black people. In 2004, when Sharpton ran for President, his traction among his alleged base was underwhelming. In South Carolina, where almost half of all registered Dems were black, both John Kerry and John Edwards received twice as many black votes as Sharpton. But this hasn't stopped media outlets from phoning Sharpton whenever something even remotely racial...
