  4. Ben Affleck May Be Running For Senate

    Ben Affleck appeared in Washington yesterday to meet with Hillary Clinton and John Kerry about violence in the Congo. Affleck is founder of the Eastern Congo Initiative, which seeks to curb the massive number of killings in that country (5 million in 14 years). Despite his best efforts to downplay such claims, rumors are now surfacing that Affleck may run for Senate in the state of Massachusetts. There&rsquo;s little evidence that he&rsquo;s even considering a Senate run, but apparently we&rsquo;re so lazy in this country that anyone who shows interest in anything is a shrewd political ladder-climber. <a href="http://www.politico.com/blogs/click/2012/12/ben-affleck-mum-on-senate-run-152441.html" target="_blank">From Politico</a>:

  6. No more 'homophobia'? AP raises the question
