Ok, funseekers. Valentine's Day is just hours away, so to help out, here's the perfect gift (for the geek-n-u) that says not only I love you but also "Who are you?" and gets answers down to the Nth degree — www.23andme.com. Pricey yet unique, no? Everyone's an armchair CSI these days.

If you were, say, running for president and were, say, behind — a lot — would you confess to people that you once cooked squirrel in a popcorn popper in college? Cause we're thinking, although folksy, that a tale like that probably does not enhance one's image, particularly in states where eating squirrel is not exactly commonplace. Ya gotta save details like that for the autobiography, not the campaign trail. A lot of Americans just aren't ready.

Just for fun, we are going to go down to the surveillance cameras that the District police are now monitoring round the clock and we going to perform karaoke. Yes, we'll bring a boombox. Expect a nice selection of disco-era and 80s-inspired hits, heavily choreographed. Big Brother is watching. We might as well dance.

Our new guilty pleasure: DJ Armando and his "Addictions" show on XM Radio's 81. Best dance mix EVER. We're also still firmly a Miguel Migs fan, too. LOVE HIM. Also a huge fan, no pun intended, of the dance track artist Colton Ford. His videos are insane.

Teddy, the Bear is running for president. Probably you haven't heard of his campaign (www.electteddy.org), but the little one, a mascot of the National Parks Conservation Association, is out there making an appearance at a polling place to draw attention to the issue of what he says is "lack of funding and critical protection" of these areas. Bears are good. You should shake his hand.

The Grammy Awards telecast on Sunday was too long and seemed uninspired. That said, Amy Winehouse is an Eliza Doolittle-gone-mad goddess. Loved her surreal performance, such an odd little bird with a big, unique voice. Yes, of course. And the big hair, too!
