Magazines’ Newsstand Sales Fall 9.1 Percent
Magazines’ newsstand sales plummeted in the last six months of 2009, and subscriptions dropped as well.
Newsstand sales for the 472 consumer titles in the United States measured by the Audit Bureau of Circulations declined 9.1 percent, to 39.3 million, in the last half of 2009 versus the same period a year earlier, the organization reported this morning. That follows an 11.12 percent decline from July through December 2007 compared to July through December 2008.

Dude's name is too dirty for government job; I can relate.
Via Instapundit. No, seriously, I can totally relate to this guy:
A high-ranking Pakistani diplomat reportedly cannot be appointed ambassador to Saudi Arabia because in Arabic his name translates into a phrase more appropriate for a porn star, referring to the size of male genitals, Foreign Policy reported.
The Arabic transaltion [sic] of Akbar Zeb to “biggest d**k” has overwhelmed Saudi officials who have refused to allow his post there.
Zeb has run into this problem before when Pakistan tried to appoint him as ambassador to the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, where he was rejected for the same reason, according to Foreign Policy.
There should be a club for people with dirty sounding names. Akbar Zeb and Gaylord Focker can be members. And so can I. What? Have you not paid attention to my freakin’ name? I’m a horny fish.

This #demonsheep hashtag on Twitter had me totally confused. I had no idea what the joke was about until I saw this Hot Air post just now. It is the most hilarious and absurd political attack ad I’ve seen in my entire life. It’s actually kind of genius.
It’s pretty long for an ad. Skip over to 2:21. Just do it. Seriously, do it now.

US debt to hit proposed ceiling by end-February: Treasury
The US debt is on track to hit a congressionally proposed debt ceiling of 14.3 trillion dollars by the end of February, the Treasury said Wednesday, a day ahead of a key vote to raise it to that level.
“Based on current projections, Treasury expects to reach the debt ceiling as early as the end of February. However, the government’s cash flows are volatile, making it difficult to forecast a precise date,” the Treasury said in a statement.
The current limit on the public debt of the United States is 12.374 trillion dollars.
