The LA Times has a slightly amusing look at the laudry list of candidates mentioned in the 2008 Veepstakes.
“This list is getting so long that everyone’s going to end up on it eventually,” joked Sen. Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.), who has advised Obama on whom to pick.

Spent some time playing Guitar Hero last night and was reminded of the single most irritating part of playing that game. It’s not the fast fingering required for the expert level… It’s not the addictive nature of the game…
