If you're wearing a
microphone, don't say anything you don't want the world to hear! MSNBC's
Chuck Todd, political consultant Mike Murphy
and Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan all
put their foots in their mouths yesterday when, after thinking they had gone
to commercial, the trio ripped on McCain's "cynical" Sarah Palin
veep pick. The conversation gets really good when Todd wonders, "Do you
think the Palin pick is insulting to Democrats? Is the really the most
qualified woman they could have turned to?" Everyone agrees that, no, Palin
is not the best choice. Says the pessimistic journalist, "I think they went
for the - excuse me - political bullshit about narratives… Every time
Republicans do that, because that's not where they live and that's not what
they're good at, and they blow it."

And while the cliché
is that it's the sex-starved husband who is driven to furtively spending
some "me" time in the bathroom, research shows that most men's masturbation
habits have nothing to do with how often they have sex.

Variety:
Young auds returned
to "90210" on Tuesday, as CW's update of the iconic Fox sudser "Beverly
Hills 90210" set network records for a premiere. No net had more riding
on a single show this fall than the CW on a new spin on the high school-set
drama -- and so far, so good. Show got strong sampling with its early
premiere, but must brace for some brutal competition in coming weeks.90210 Scores

Books & BooksCoral
Gables. Haven Kimmel,
the #1 New York Times
bestselling author, has long attracted legions of fans for her insightful,
humane portraits of outsiders struggling to find their place in the world. In
Iodine (Free Press,
$24), her fourth novel, Kimmel once again draws on her exceptional powers of
observation and empathy, but this time she makes an exhilarating foray into
psychological gothic territory with the electrifying story of a young woman
emerging from layers of delusion, fantasy, and lies. With her astounding
intelligence, fierce independence, and otherworldly lavender eyes, college
senior Trace Pennington makes an indelible impression even as questions about
her past and her true identity hover over every page. Trace's singular life is
upended when she and her literature professor fall in love. She tells him
nothing about her life, and as it becomes apparent that he has his own dark
secrets, she's forced to face herself and her past. This unique portrait of the
psychological effects of trauma is tantalizing, shocking, and ultimately
hopeful. 8pm
