Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addresses Congress today. It will be the first time there has been such an articulate speaker on the floor since…well, the last time he spoke to Congress. 51 Democrats are boycotting the speech because following protocol is more important than the fact Iran’s building nukes and the White House seems pretty cool with that. Meanwhile, National Security Advisor Susan Rice says, “a bad deal with Iran is better than NO deal with Iran.” Which is like saying, “a bad drug deal is better than NO drug deal,” or “a bad case of Ebola is better than NO case of Ebola.”
In solidarity with Congress, I vow that no work will get done in my presence today.
Remember that astronaut who sang David Bowie's “Space Oddity” on the International Space Station? Somehow, Chris Hadfield’s flight suit ended up in a Toronto thrift store. Dr. Julielynn Wong, who actually trained with Hadfield, was out popping some tags and bought it for $40. Wait — doctors have to shop at thrift stores now?

Pope Francis has called money, 'the devil's dung.' I’m going to start carrying a plastic bag with me, in case I need to pick some up.
A study says that dogs remember events for no longer than two minutes. So when I walk in a room with my dog to get something and forget why I'm there, Hera does, too! Good girl!
And … Remember that “unretouched” photo of model Cindy Crawford? She looked like a normal woman for her age, not a slick supermodel and Crawford was praised for daring to show her normal humanity. It was a fake. Someone photoshopped her to look bad. Crawford’s husband Tweeted out a pic of her over the weekend proving, once and for all, that the laws of aging and gravity do NOT apply to a supermodel pushing 50.
