Winning Look: Not all his Jets teammates may approve, but I'm all about rookie QB Mark Sanchez's new beard. (And he hasn't lost a game since growing it.) (NYT)
Just Beat It: And speaking of boys 'n' beards, here's a look at James Franco as poet Allen Ginsberg in the new film "Howl." (Towleroad)
The Daily Dilemma: Is it time for a government bailout for the journalism industry? (Ryan Deal)
Just Ask Larry Kramer: Gay men and lesbians are a politically unpopular and relatively powerless force in the United States, even though the public tends to think otherwise, a political scientist testified Wednesday during a historic trial on the constitutionality of California's same-sex marriage ban. (AP)
Call of the Wild: Jill Sobule needs bear footage for a new music video she is making with Margaret Cho. When last in SF Jill wrote a song about how, were she a man, she would want to be a bear. Tuesday, Jan. 26 at 2 p.m. at Femina Potens Art Gallery, 2199 Market St. @ Sanchez (formerly Image Leather) (Bears of SF)
Blond Editing: Sure sounds like USA Today's Life section could use a hand on the copy desk. I don't know anything about Britney Spears, but they got the date of Madonna's debut album wrong by THREE years; EVERYONE had already called Debbie Harry the "Marilyn Monroe" of punk a few years before; and does Madonna even really do "Into the Groove" or "Like a Virgin" in concert anymore, unless she's being "cheeky"? (USA Today)
You Go, Girl: Margaret Hoover, President Herbert Hoover's great-granddaughter -- and a Fox News contributor, no less -- went on the conservative news channel to make the Republican case for marriage equality. (It's really well-done.) (FoxNews)

Head Case: Poor Chan Gailey can't even get respect from closed captioning. (Deadspin)
It's nice that some prominent Republicans are coming out in favor of marriage equality, but sad that probably a lot of gay people will say, "See, they're the same or even BETTER than the Democrats!"...considering the vast majority of the Republican party is actively anti-gay to the point where they'd love to legislate against it, while the vast majority of the Democratic party is not anti-gay and is at worst inactive on the subject. (Which is annoying and frustrating, but still preferable.)
Madonna does still do "Into the Groove" and "Like a Virgin" at concerts; she did the former on her most recent concert and the latter on her second most recent tour. And sang them both, not lip-synched. But the rest is appalling! :0)
Re: USA Today charticle ... I'm in the same biz you are, Ken, and I cringe whenever I see something like this hit the rim because I just KNOW little, if any, of the stuff in it has been checked by the line editor.
If I didn't have to move 6 stories in the next hour, I'd be happy to do it myself. But ... < shrug >
