The trail leading to Eric Massa’s resignation from Congress is littered with stories of political infighting and bitter divisions. Along the way, it also brought together a pair of unlikely figures.
“I never thought anything would make me feel sympathetic towards Glenn Beck,” Arianna Huffington told Anderson Cooper during an appearance on CNN. “But having to interview Eric Massa for an entire hour made me really feel for him.”
Tuesday’s panel, which included former presidential adviser David Gergen, focused on the Massa saga and his interview on Beck’s program. Arianna gave Beck credit for an apology to his audience for “wasting an hour of their time.” She also said that another chapter could be coming, as America has only heard Massa’s side — or perhaps Massa’s sides.
Gergen used a similar analogy. “People say that Washington politics is a freak show,” he observed. “And Eric Massa is writing a whole new chapter.
Whenever the chapter is complete, it may contain a memorable quote form Gergen about his time in the Navy.
“I don’t remember any tickle fights.”

The number of “cosmetic-surgery procedures” in America dropped two percent last year, the Wall Street Journal reports, with 10 million surgical and nonsurgical procedures in 2009, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
Surgical procedures like tummy tucks and rhinoplasties dropped 17 percent, while nonsurgical procedures, like Botox went up 0.6 percent. The study found there were less elective cosmetic surgeries because of the recession.
Breast augmentation was the most popular procedure (311,957 patients) with liposuction coming in second (283,735 patients). And two procedures–buttock lifts and buttock augmentations–are on the rise.

Last month, we put out a call for stories and photos to help document the effect that “Hard Times Profiteers” are having on distressed borrowers and others suffering financial hardship because of the recession. The response was robust. We received more than 100 tips from borrowers, tenants, real estate brokers, investors and others who have experienced or observed misfortune amid the current housing crisis. We also collected dozens of photos documenting bandit signs from California to Maryland, a sampling of which are below.
