Rick Santorum said if he finished badly in Iowa's Jan. 3 caucuses, he would drop out of the presidential race.
But wait. A loophole:
"If I finish dead last in the mix I'll go home but I don't think that's going to happen," he said Tuesday on the Des Moines radio station WHO.
Come on, Iowans, don't let us down. Let him come in second-to-last at least. Please?
A night in which Drew Brees laid claim to the greatest passing season in NFL history also helped his New Orleans Saints put their stamp on another division title. Brees supplanted Hall of Famer Dan Marino as the league's single-season passing leader Monday night, throwing for 307 yards and four touchdowns in the Saints' 45-16 rout of the Atlanta Falcons at the Superdome. He broke Marino's 27-year-old record of 5,084 yards with 2:51 left in the game, hitting Darren Sproles with a 9-yard touchdown pass to cap a 33-yard drive after the Saints took over on downs.

Planners are working on a new vision for the future - one that could include express trains, all-night service, new stations along existing lines, trains traveling different routes and extensions to Livermore, Ocean Beach, Brentwood and Crockett. [...] The planning effort, which is just getting started, is called the metro concept, and will focus more on growth within the existing system and the urban core of the Bay Area than on extending the system outward. Still, it could include extensions within the BART district, which includes Alameda, Contra Costa and San Francisco counties.

In an interview last Friday with the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism, Gov. Scott Walker (R) gave perhaps his most blunt show of contrition yet for the mega-gaffe that could haunt him in the coming recall: His 20-minute phone call in February, at the height of the protests against his anti-public employee union legislation, with a blogger posing as conservative financier David Koch. The interviewer said that a friend of Walker’s has said that the “Koch” call was the only time he saw Walker rattled, to have done something so “stupid.”
