Not even the driveways of Connecticut are safe: From AIG scorn.

Obama does Leno: And Alessandra Stanley finds him "fairly smooth."

Put down the pitchforks: Says Pearlstein.

Sixth anniversary: Of the U.S. invasion of Iraq.

Nowruz: In video message, the President appeals directly to Iranians for "a new day."

Sounders win! 3-0 in front of 32,500.

Bowling by the numbers: Obama's latest, 129, wouldn't get him any medals in the Special Olympics. (Despite his now-regretted joke.)

I'm horny: Declares Joe the Plumber at conservative gathering.

Is Dan Savage really running for mayor? Clock's ticking on the paperwork.

And more soothing scenes from the animal kingdom:

Today is World Storytelling Day and the vernal equinox. While the savoring the scandal du jour remember to give your children their daily dose of moral fiber and note that the world keeps turning (even if the flowers bloom early).

If you don't have kids or the opportunity to read to any, consider doing some citizen science: http://www.windows.ucar.edu/citizen_scie… It can help you cope with the feelings of murderous rage you may be feeling towards certain unpunished criminals.

Joe the Plumber (Plunger?) told the crowd he was horny...and then they all made a break for the nearest airport men's restroom stall.
