DO OBAMA & DEVAL PATRICK share a speechwriter or something?

UPDATE: Aha: “Does anyone know where David Axelrod is? He, after all, would seem to be the obvious culprit on this ‘plagiarism’ issue. He’s been a consultant for both campaigns… it’s an open secret that he’s the one likely responsible for the similarities in language. You’d think he might want to clear the air.”

ANOTHER UPDATE: More on Axelrod here, including a Bob The Builder angle that InstaPundit readers got ages ago.

MORE: Name that scandal? I think it’s more of a kerfuffle.

THE ANCHORESS SAYS MICHELLE IS HILLARY: “Michelle Obama is the circa-’92-Hillary of this election; she is the smart, tough, ivy-league-educated, loose cannon of a woman who gets drawn into controversy with her unguarded tongue and, at the same time, manages to draw press attention away from what her husband – or his campaign – is saying and doing, or undoing.”

MICKEY KAUS: “Is Hillary better off losing Wisconsin?”

BRR: “A raging snow storm that blanketed most of Greece over the weekend also continued into the early morning hours on Monday, plunging the country into sub-zero temperatures. Public transport buses were at a standstill on Monday in the wider Athens area, while ships remained in ports, public services remained closed, and schools and courthouses in the more severely-stricken prefectures were also closed.”

UPDATE: Reader Gregg Reynolds — no relation — emails:

I am in Istanbul currently (watching Wolf Blitzer live on CNN International at 2 AM, actually) where we experienced some of the same heavy snows over the weekend that hit Greece. I was puzzled by the “sub-zero” reference, though, since it definitely didn’t get that cold here.

If you look at historical data, say at Weather Underground and read the last few paragraphs of the story you cited you’ll see the “sub-zero” temperatures are Celsius, not Fahrenheit. Cold for the Balkans, but not as bad as it sounds to an American audience.

Good point. And that might come as a comfort to the folks chilling in Vietnam, too! Just remember: When it’s hot, it’s climate. But when it’s cold, it’s just weather!

DAVID HARSANYI: “It’s election season, meaning candidates across the political spectrum will rediscover their love of shotguns and regale us with tender tales of hunting varmints. What this pandering actually tells us is that the acrimonious issue of gun ownership is settling in on the side of the Constitution. Though citizens hold varied opinions on how to govern possession, a majority believe that gun ownership is an individual right.”

THERE’S NOTHING WRONG with going to the Caymans during campaign season. But don’t forget the sunscreen! “He had gone running earlier — seven miles in a humid 85 degrees — and his face was scorched, except where his sunglasses protected his eyes.”

I MENTIONED JARED’S TEN-YEAR ANNIVERSARY — and “ridiculously hot girlfriend” — below, but here’s much more from Advertising Age. “He’s appeared in more than 50 commercials, outlasted four ad agencies and still regularly tops likability and recall ratings.” And yet the ad people kept trying to get rid of him. Plus, “You don’t hear of Jared off using cocaine at a nightclub or something.”
