  • Oh, Ricky: You're So Fine: Ricky Martin tops People en Espanol's list of the 15 "Hispanos más influyentes." (BoyCulture)

  • Janie's Got a Gun, and So Does Billy and Suzy and Tommy: I haven't been this embarrassed to have Arizona roots since Evan Meacham was governor. As a "remedy" for recent shooting sprees on college campuses, State Sen. Karen S. Johnson, R-Mesa, is trying to push through a bill that would allow people with a concealed weapons permit to carry their firearms at public colleges and universities. This bill is a toned down of the one she originally wrote, which would have allowed kindergartners to pack heat. God help us all. (NYT)

  • Pack-er Up: Brett Favre calls it a career. (NYT)

  • Separate Is Not Equal: A California Supreme Court judge hit the nail on the same-sex head yesterday when he asked, "Doesn't this just boil down to the use of the m-word -- marriage?” Yes, your honor. It does. (NYT)

  • Valley Girl: In "Love and Consequences," a critically acclaimed memoir published last week, Margaret B. Jones wrote about her life as a half-white, half-Native American girl growing up in South-Central Los Angeles as a foster child among gang-bangers, running drugs for the Bloods. The problem is that none of it is true. She grew up in the wealthy Sherman Oaks section of Los Angeles (in the San Fernando Valley, home of the Galleria!) and attended private schools. (NYT)

  • WikiMess: Virtually anyone can edit an entry on Wikipedia. But its founder is finding it's not so easy to cover his tracks after a messy breakup with a TV personality and a dustup over his expenses began playing out on the Web. (AP)

    Now that he won't have his Packers' salary, maybe Brett Favre will do gay porn! Bet he'd get a LOT more than $5,000 a pop (pun intended). And I'd camp out at the video store waiting for the release (ditto). Woof!
