Congress is back in session, and with it returns the usual back-and-forth on government spending and job creation.

Paul Wharton: @PaulWharton If you’re a model in NYC that’s having trouble making it and you want to be on a new show, submit to Nycmodelshowcasting@gmail.com today…

Nothing like an Internet lingo lesson from a 77-year-old.
Representative Jim Himes: @jahimes Visiting senior centers for MLK Day. Rules #1,#2 and #3 for visitors: DO NOT interrupt bingo.
Considering that the real first rule of bingo is that you don’t talk about bingo, that’s probably sound advice.
