* Mad About 'Mad Men' Knock-offs: Why are there so few original or innovative TV shows? Because producers in TV Land are too busy poorly aping the handful that do exist. Hank Stuever holds his nose and previews "The Playboy Club" and "Pan Am," both set in the "Mad Men" era.
* Palin Obsession: It never stops. Yet another "She's Not Running. She's Never Going To Run" debate on Andrew Sullivan's never dull Daily Dish blog.
* Like Moths to a Flame: POLITICO writes, "As President Obama struggles, Clinton nostalgia persists." They ask (pointlessly): Would the U.S. had been better off with Hillary Clinton? O-kay. And why, pray tell, are we even exploring this irrelevancy? Because POLITICO can't help itself.
* Foul Ball? Colbert King sez "I’m no Sarah Palin fan. Narcissistic, demagogic, opportunistic and with a dark side? No argument there. But this is no way to treat anyone. Sarah Palin deserves better." Hmm. Dunno. Gotta think about this one.
* You Are What You Eat: In China, a nation reeling from tainted-food scandals, organic products (a hush-hush affair) are mostly reserved for the rich and political elite.
* It's All About Me: Lakers star Ron Artest has legally changed his name to "Metta World Peace." Ahem. Mr. M.W. Peace skipped the actual hearing "because of a 'jam-packed schedule' for 'Dancing With the Stars.'" Right. Peace, out.
