| TV SoundOff: Sunday Talking Heads
Who thinks we need a law to make English the official language of government. What American legislature is conducting business in some other language? And then he says that bureaucracy is destructive, after suggesting we bureaucratize the speaking of English. Dear, oh dear. But, too much talk about issue! Must talk about horse races! Gingrich says Romney has more delegates than anyone–I think that's wrong, actually! Yes. I am right. Here's the delegate count. Note Romney's use of Enron accounting. Also note that this story comes from ABC News! You'd think maybe someone there would tell Stephanopoulos that his own news division has a different answer. Gingrich thinks the "open" Hillary is better than the "austere" Hillary, and that it was strange to identify herself with LBJ.
Modell ready to own up to 40-year tenure
Art Modell would prefer a grand exit to a glorified entrance.
The Ravens are planning a special pre-game introduction Sunday to honor Modell's 40th year in the league, but the dean of NFL owners has another celebration in mind. He wants a victory over the San Diego Chargers that would clinch the first playoff berth in his five-year tenure here and give him another long-awaited shot at his first Super Bowl.
On-field ceremonies don't usually fly with this old-school owner, and Modell expects to make his final decision in a couple of days. The only game-day salute of his career was 1996, when he took part in the festivities leading up to the Ravens' first game here.

Notable Manitobans who passed away this year
A physicist who graduated from the University of Manitoba, Smith went on to work for almost 40 years with Atomic Energy of Canada, spending the last 23 years, from 1960, establishing AECL's Whiteshell Nuclear Research facility and the town of Pinawa. From 1958 to 1960, Smith also organized and led a United Nations organization based in Vienna to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons. He was honoured with the Order of Manitoba in 2000. February Feb. 2 -- JOYCE MILLER, 46.

It Turns Out Ahmadinejad Was the Truthful One
Bush is such a liar. Or is he just out to lunch on the most important issue that he faces? In October, he charged that Iran's nuclear weapons program was bringing the world to the precipice of World War III, even though the White House had been informed at least a month earlier that Iran had no such program and had stopped efforts to develop one back in 2003. Is it conceivable that Bush was telling the truth at his press conference Tuesday when he stated that he learned of the National Intelligence Estimate report, which contained that inconvenient fact, only last week? Even if Bush read the NIE report, he clearly doesn't respect it, for at his press conference he said "the NIE doesn't do anything to change my opinion about the danger Iran poses to the world-quite the contrary." Not that he has anything against the NIE, whose directors he handpicked.
Officials trawl through sex workers black book
During 2007 he advertised himself as a prostitute in Canberra media using the names "Adam" and "Josh" but was unregistered as a sex worker. "Bear in mind please 250 is just the number of phone numbers and he may have been phoning family friends, businesses - there are all sorts of other reasons," Dr Guest said. "That may be a very inflated figure of the number of people that he had sex with or unprotected sex with." Dr Guest would not say how the contacts were obtained and said many of the phone numbers being used were mobiles so it was unclear whether all of the potential victims were from the ACT. "We will be exploring that nature of their contact very delicately with them - we have skilled counsellors and clinicians involved in this process," he said. The people contacted will be invited to be counselled and tested for sexually-transmitted infections.
