SenJohnMcCain: Headed to the floor to speak about the importance of the Andean Trade Preference Act & the need to reauthorize it immediately We must preserve our nation’s access to alpaca wool and prime ski trails!
ChefJoseAndres: gin&tonic from above! uuuhhh. . . .3 one of the day, im going to bed. . . http://plixi.com/p/77911987 We’re sorry we inspired you to drink your sorrows away. Pour us one of those and maybe we’ll change our minds.

CatOmmanney: Had a call saying my toe nail was handed in to ‘lost and found in Beverly Hill’s’ but Ive gone off that color varnish-sooo last season. . . . Who knew waiting to find out if your show got renewed was stressful enough to make your toenails fall out?
ClaireCMC: Our star #stantheman sitting next to Bill Russell and right behind President Bush. http://yfrog.com/h7zvvcxj Now if only you can figure out how to get the Cardinals to resign Albert Pujols, you’ll never have to worry about reelection.
DCJourno: my top Haddad garden party memory: watching Byron York FREAK out after a Jonas Brother spilled a bloody mary all over his seersucker Fess up, DCJourno. You’re Joe Jonas, aren’t you?
