    Fine, but I'd actually like some sections of the press corps to wipe themselves off and try to remember what they're supposed to be doing

    So we all saw the Daily Show Inauguration Special where John Stewart spliced Obama's speech with Bush's showing how similar the rhetoric was... before apologising profusely and saying "it's all I know how to do!"

    I thought we already had the first gay President

    shaving makes hair grow back thicker and darker

    Yeah totally false. My tattooist told me that years ago when she shaved my arm (here's a tip: never wax before being tattooed, no that I did, but it's just not a good idea)

    But for some reason it works with peach fuzz. At least it make real hair show up faster than if you just leave it.

    his baby-fuzz incipient moustache

    You need to explain to him that he needs to shave it off in order to be able to grow proper facial hair later on

    This video of Hilary Clinton's arrival at the Stare Department is extraordinary

    You can't quite tell in the video but I can't see any blinking either

    Perhaps some of us Wellington-based PA regulars could organise a less formal get-together?

    A grand idea

    I can't find stats on how often they get tackled or even mention of it in articles

    Tackles aren't an "official" stat so numbers on them are always woolly (ie. assisted tackles). But you could try looking up 4th down plays and where they were unsuccessful

    Quitter! My Zappa has just about acquired enough length at the ends to call for some moustache wax and become a full-fledged Handlebar plus Chin Puff, and you have to go all baby-faced on me! Call yourself a chap?!

    Hardly baby-faced, unless babies have sandpaper stubble. And don't worry the beard will be back...

    Wow looks like I was wrong, punters do get a lot of money (sort of). On closer inspection the guys earning $1M or more seem to be in the later years of their pro-rated contracts, you can tell because there is no signing bonus.

    and @Jo Kendra has become an Eagles supporter of late

    They probably make a million a year and get tackled once a decade.

    Not even close to a million and they get knocked down by big guys, a lot.
