What you missed while singing a karaoke version of “Wind Beneath My Wings” after too much green beer this weekend:

  • Howard Mortman asks the Post’s Chris Cillizza for his favorite blogs. Naturally, we’re glad Chris included us in his daily blog menu (making us 3-2 in the Mortman feature).

  • Local Knight Ridder boys Chris Adams and Alison Young will be awarded a Broun award for uncovering “the many ways that American Iraqi war veterans have been shortchanged or abandoned by the government that is supposed to care for them.”

  • Who said public spats were bad? After all, David Gregory’s so hot right now.

  • TVNewser wonders “Why is John Roberts co-hosting American Morning? His gray hair doesn’t work well next to Soledad. Just give him the 7pm hour already…

  • Colbert King continues to find flaws in the EMT’s handling of David Rosenbaum.

      Despite Rosenbaum’s altered mental status and the unknown reason for it, other than suspicion that he was drunk, the workers did not “collar and board” him — that is, stabilize his neck with a cervical collar and immobilize him on a backboard. Instead they sat him up and placed him on an ambulance cot.
