3. Whose brilliant idea was it to put poor old Ed McMahon in a tracksuit with gold chains and have him rap about his foreclosure woes? Why, FreeCreditReport.com, which is featuring him in two viral videos, scheduled to be released last week.
4. Sarah Silverman is reaching out to Jewish Gen Xers with elderly relatives in Florida. The message? If you want another visit next year, vote for Obama.
