“Cheney in a Wheelchair | 8:11 a.m. Later today you’ll see an unfortunate metaphor for the departing Bush administration. Vice President Dick Cheney hurt a back muscle yesterday as he was moving boxes out of the vice president’s residence at the Naval Observatory. And now he plans to attend the swearing in ceremony in a wheelchair.”

Describe that lady-comedy crown, please. “It would be really stiff and high,” Ms. Poehler said, “and when you tipped it over, birds would fly out of it, like squawking pigeons, and then you could bite into it, and it would be marzipan.”

Tue, 16 Dec 2008 11:35:41 -0800

“A few weeks ago, a female client from the South spent $1,200 on a Gucci snakeskin bag from Barry. “She said, ‘Please ship it with a gift card wishing me a happy birthday, so my husband doesn’t kill me,’” says Barry. “So I didn’t put the invoice in the box. I just put a card that said ‘Happy Birthday, I hope you love the bag!’” Barry has recently seen women split a purchase among several credit cards—Hermès, for example, will divide a purchase among a maximum of three cards—to avoid a single credit card bill that could give a spouse sticker-shock. She’s had clients pay half in cash, half on a card. Or they pay for part of the item up front, and return to pay the rest later.”

“And yet, Blagojevich, 52, rarely turns up for work at his official state office in Chicago, former employees say, is unapologetically late to almost everything, and can treat employees with disdain, cursing and erupting in fury for failings as mundane as neglecting to have at hand at all times his preferred black Paul Mitchell hairbrush. He calls the brush “the football,” an allusion to the “nuclear football,” or the bomb codes never to be out of reach of a president.”
