Mike Dukakis To Be Ted Kennedy's Caroline Kennedy? [Politics]

Sigh, Mike Dukakis. Sigh. The Boston Globe has joined the chorus of Democrats demanding that the Duke be appointed to Ted Kennedy's Senate seat.

Ted's deathbed proposal was for a placeholder Senator who'd be forbidden from running in the special election, in order to prevent a Roland Burris or Caroline Kennedy situation. And it is a fine suggestion, really, mostly sidestepping the argument about how Democrats didn't want Romney to appoint a replacement for Kerry back in 2004 when a couple jokers thought that guy might be the President.

This placeholder's sole job is the provide the Democrats with a 60th vote, for the health care, even though they're still not guaranteed a couple of those 60 votes, but hopefully none of those votes they're missing will join a filibuster, though you can never tell with these treacherous weasels.

Anyway. Michael Dukakis, the former governor of Massachusetts and the Democratic nominee for the presidency in 1988, would do a fine job of voting Yea on The Socialist Nazi Death Care. But he is also a little bit overqualified. And frankly we wouldn't mind having him be a real Senator, as he is a Good Liberal, and he loves the BULLET TRAINS as much as we do. But he is also very old, and people only remember how goofy he looked in a tank once, and also the time he made a black man kill a lady.

When Paul Wellstone died, the Democrats asked universally beloved Minnesota hero Walter Mondale to run to replace him. And that is why there was ever a Senator Norm Coleman.

Over A Year After Android Launch, ShopSavvy Finally Comes To The iPhone

ShopSavvy was one of the best early Android applications. It launched in October of last year after winning one of the initial Android Developer Challenge top prizes (when it was still known as GoCart). But despite the success it has seen on Android, one question remained: When would it be available for the iPhone. Today, it finally is. Developed by the guys at Big In Japan , ShopSavvy is an app that allows you to use your device as a portable barcode scanner. You point your phone's camera at any barcode and it will read it, do a product look up, and give you information about the product, as well as where you can find it online or at nearby stores and for how much.

Lindsay Lohan confirmed her split with Samantha Ronson and insisted the decision was part of a very healthy and mature effort to " focus on myself ." Upon hearing this, Ronson changed her locks and discussed a restraining order with police, so confident was she in Lohan's ability to turn productively inward. Lohan promptly had a run-in with the police . Who would have imagined such a messy breakup for this model relationship? Courtney Love's lawyer, on her client's drug-fueled plunge into broke-ness: ""Courtney noticed the money was gone when there wasn't any left."
