What to say about the Hillary Clinton plants? It's hard to believe in a campaign this savvy, organized and well-financed that they'd stoop to setting up college kids with questions that were scripted for the senator, who up until then, at least to us, seemed perfectly equipped to respond to most every query — even when she got beat up by the "boys." (We eagerly await more fireworks in the next debate in Vegas.)

Are these Clinton campaign folks surprised that a college girl would narc on them to the press? Although it's easy to blow this incident as a little thing, it makes you kinda start to wonder what else they are dishonest about.

Mr. Obama, he just keeps digging in and chugging along and it also makes us wonder, given the polls, if Mrs. Clinton might be losing control of this race. Could this be? Makes it ever so interesting. We'd also like to note that we LOVE Mrs. Obama's chic boots. Major fashion snaps, chica.

The very likable Mike Huckabee is surging in the Iowa polls. No surprise there. He stands out because he's earnest, and real and transparent. Good to see the Iowa people get that. We think he's a good man.

It's a new season of Project Runway. In that spirit, let us all "make it work."

Matt Damon is PEOPLE magazine's Sexiest Man Alive. Ummm, not so. Cute guy, fun guy, loved the Bourne flicks, but sexy? Can't go there.

We dig the story about the dude in Connecticut who called 911 because he needed … beer. We completely understand this desperation. Many times we've wanted to call for help when we run out of hairspray.

Recently we visited Charleston, S.C. — one of our fave cities of all time — and might we highly recommend the restaurant Slightly North of Broad (SNOB). Terrific shrimp and grits. Kind of a Blanche Dubois goes Southern Goth atmosphere. Packed but not rushed.

We sincerely hope those Jon Bon Jovi New Jersey governor rumors are true. He has always been on our "men we dig from afar" list.
