Whatever he’s smoking, it helped… Pfizer Inc. says it will provide 70 of its most widely prescribed prescription drugs – including Lipitor and Viagra – for free to people who have lost their jobs and health insurance proving there’s an UPside to being laid off, and that it can be a lot more fun NOT to work, as well as healthier, too...Feisty mother of Sen.

OK, and maybe a little from her father, too….Maybe wannabe Senator Norm Coleman should quit while he’s not ahead.

Tim Pawlenty (R) is thought to have a hankering to run for president in 2012, a new SurveyUSA poll finds that 57% of Minnesota voters don't even want him to run for a third term next year.

Or maybe he just needs to grow his hair back to the mullet, or maybe not…You’d think that Consigliore Rahm Emanuel’s secret service name would be Rhambo, which is his nickname. No, it turns out to be Black Hawk. Wouldn’t that suit POTUS better? I’m just asking…The missing Luke Russert has appeared on the pages of NBC’s First Read. Welcome back… Sen.
