, , , , , , , , , , , ,

When we were little, our stuffed animals served as fluffy confidantes. They sat with us at our tea parties, they stayed close at night to fend off bad dreams, and they comforted us when we were sick.

Hacked? Sen. Lindsey Graham calls dibs on John McCain’s office

http://twitter.com/#!/markknoller/status/339158895933145088 CBS News’ Mark Knoller probably knows more about the nuances of “Senate humor” than we do, and Sen.
