Slate blogger and union-buster Mickey Kaus is running for Senate in California. It's kind of a gag—he doesn't expect to win. But we'd like to make it a realistic experience for Mickey, and we need your help.

NBC News anchor Brian Williams "loves his nickname," says Rachel Sklar over at HuffPo. The perenially upbeat media blogger dubbed him 'BriWi' at some point, we couldn't even begin to tell you why. Makes him sound like some newfangled networking device from Apple. Oooh, maybe he is! Thing is, when she mentions it to him in a video interview, he looks like he just wants to bolt. Or smack her, whatever ends the whole thing fastest.
