Kristin Davis, and no, not “The WASPy One” from Sex and the City, but rather the former madam of Eliot Spitzer’s escort, has thrown her hat–and apparently the rest of her clothing–into the ring.
The ex-con is heading up “The Personal Freedom Party,” which is basically a social free-for-all. She wants to legalize marijuana, prostitution, and same-sex marriages.
Spoken like your common libertarian call girl, Kristin Davis says her “bold plan would bring in an estimated $2.5 billion in new revenues from legalized prostitution and marijuana. Cuomo, Lazio and the other candidates have no bold plan to increase revenues and lower taxes.”

Heidi Montag of The Hills fame/infamy starred in a new online video urging for consumer protection. Montag says in the FunnyOrDie clip:
“If you’re a reality TV star, chances are good that you’ll one day have plastic surgery,” the MTV reality star says. “It’s also a for sure thing that you’ll have to pay for that surgery with credit cards. With hidden fees and standard interest rate increases, that $11,000 jaw line can end up costing you in upwards of $50,000…Call Senators Chris Dodd and Richard Selby. Your calls make a difference.”

Here’s a tasty Monday treat from Real Clear Politics:
“Rahm Emanuel is son of the devil’s spawn, Rep. Eric Massa (D-NY) said. “He is an individual who would sell his mother to get a vote. He would strap his children to the front end of a steam locomotive.” Rep. Massa describes a confrontation with Emanuel in a shower: “I am showering, naked as a jaybird, and here comes Rahm Emanuel, not even with a towel wrapped around his tush, poking his finger in my chest, yelling at me.”

A good way to waste time on a Friday while still learning something: Completely and unabashedly yanked from The Daily Mail, here’s a rundown of how to judge a person by his/her nose (beyond how good the plastic surgeon is). Note the “Nubian” nose attributed to our current president, which conveys charisma and charm, while Margaret Thatcher’s “Greek” nose is characteristic of efficient hard workers.
Turned-up
What it looks like: Imagine the shape of the ski jump at the Winter Olympics — it’s a long, curved, almost-concave slope with a slight upward peak at the tip.
What it says about you: cutesy uppy-nose types are often kind, optimistic and nurturing in personality with bags of enthusiasm, a strong sense of support for friends and family. Oh, and a sexually adventurous side too.
Who has one? Actresses Nicole Kidman and Marilyn Monroe; former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham.
Roman
What it looks like: This nose has a small bump protruding out, about halfway down the ridge. It points downwards at the tip, but not quite as much as the hawkshaped nose.
What it says about you: This signals a strong personality — but not always an impulsive one. They are very good at rallying people to take action, often very influential and carefully measured.
Who has one? Bono (of U2), French president Nicolas Sarkozy, singer Barry Manilow.
Greek
What it looks like: A long, straight and rather strong nose shape. If you look at the angle between the nose tip and the groove above your top lip, it should be about 80 degrees, almost a right angle.
What it says about you: These are grafters, efficient, hard-working, matter-of-fact sorts of people who keep their emotions close to their chests and can be difficult to fathom. You’ll want to be around them in a crisis.
Who has one? Tony Blair, Margaret Thatcher, Michelangelo’s David statue.
Hawk
What it looks like: This type of nose has a deep hook at the tip, pointing downwards towards your lip. The shape of the ridge is often curved.
What it says about you: Out of the six types of nose personality, these are least likely to care what others think of them. They don’t seek approval, are often rebellious and are most happy when pursuing their own goals.
Who has one? Socialite Paris Hilton, chef Antony Worrall Thompson, poet Dante Alighieri.
Snub
What it looks like: This is a short, small nose that doesn’t usually protrude to any great extent in any particular direction.
What it says about you: People with this type of nose are often quick-witted and more street-wise than your average person. They react quickly — sometimes too quickly, which can sometimes lead to aggression.
Who has one? Pop singer Lily Allen, Girls Aloud and X Factor star Cheryl Cole, and Pirates of the Caribbean actor Johnny Depp.
Nubian
What it looks like: Short and wide, not as protruding as the other shapes and quite an uncommon shape among European noses. It’s common among certain ethnic groups.
What it says about you: This nose type is said to reflect creativity and passion. Its wearers are often charismatic,which draws people to them.
Who has one? Actor Will Smith, model Naomi Campbell, Barack Obama.
