- Who do the tech-heads favor for president? Turns out Bill Gates and Steve Jobs actually agree on something.
- Fund-raising update: Obama is a juggernaut.
- Scam alert: Beware people using the promise of proposed government rebate checks to trick you into giving up secret bank account information.
- Yes, there’s a Heath Ledger drug tape, and no, you won’t see it on Entertainment Tonight.

Actually, Clinton’s point was the exact OPPOSITE of what Trapper said, Drudge headlined and the RNC jumped on.
See: http://www.sadlyno.com/archives/8637.html and http://mediamatters.org/items/200801310009?f=h_top as well as Trapper’s arrogant kinda-sorta correction here — –http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/01/being-accused-o.html . Even The Corner finds Trapper’s post a distortion — http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=OTE0MmUxN2U5MjMwMTZiNmZkZmY5OGU4YTAxNDgyYjI=

I did 20 push-ups as punishment. I hope that covers it.
