Come Back, Sarah Palin! - NYTimes.com - Maureen Dowd - Two of the most hallucinatory moments in “S.N.L.” history came in 2008, when Tina Fey’s Sarah Palin and the real Palin sashayed past each other, and when John McCain roguishly appeared in a skit with Fey’s Palin going rogue. “Sarah Palin was a once-in-a-lifetime situation,” Meyers marveled. “She was incredibly magnetic and came with a built-in catchphrase.” She, like Joe Biden, inspires what Meyers calls “wet comedy” (as opposed to dry), and they both have what Downey calls “handles,” quirks of speech and personality that both writers and performers can latch onto.

Married couple bids $100,000 to spend day with New York Jets' Tim Tebow - ESPN New York - One couple is willing to spend $100,000 to spend a day with the New York Jets quarterback. That amount was the winning bid in a live auction during Friday night's gala event that kicked off the Tim Tebow Celebrity Golf Classic, which is a fundraising event for the Tim Tebow Foundation. The husband and wife, whom the foundation declined to identify, plan to share their day with Tebow with underprivileged children near their home in the Florida Keys. "It was very humbling, and you don't necessarily feel worthy," Tebow said Saturday after the golf tournament's conclusion at TPC Sawgrass. "That day I feel like I've got to do a few extra things to be special, you know? I've got to try to be a little bit better."
