When fading celebrities complain about the celebrity of fresh celebrities

McCain: The original political celebrity:

It's a striking line of attack for McCain, who's accepted without complaint the "celebrity" epithet from journalists for four decades.

"John's been a celebrity ever since he was shot down," former McCain strategist John Weaver told The Atlantic earlier this week, "whatever that means."

Who does he think he is to portray Obama as a celebrity in a negative way? Oh, the hypocrisy! But he is on his way out (not just due to age, but also due to his despicable behavior over the past several years), and he is peeved that he is not on the top any more. Sorry. Too late.

Feb. 12, 1809 was the day on which both Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin were born. Though we now celebrate Lincoln's birthday on President's Day, Feb. 12th is still referred to as Darwin Day and celebrated around the world. This Sunday, it will be celebrated in churches as well.
Let it be said, before explaining the lore of Pi Day, that we're planning to have pie, not cake, at my wedding in August. I adore pie in its many forms. I like eating it and I like baking it.
