Here, under the rubric of "Feel the Crunch," the Times profiles 17-year-old Jodi Hamilton, who has had to give up her $100 allowance and her weekly pilates private. Also, no more takeout sushi. You know where this is going: It's time for the parody. Readers, please send us your best writeup for the "Times Richest and Neediest" to doublex.slate@gmail.com.

Not that there's anything wrong with Obama's future chief of staff Rahm Emanuel talking to Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich about the list of contenders for Obama's Senate seat, as Fox Chicago News has reported. In fact, it would have been plum weird if they hadn't talked about it. Still, this is not exactly in keeping with Obama's statement that he'd had "no contact'' with Blago's office, is it? Please no Clintonian "depends what the meaning of contact is'' nonsense. Please remember that thing about how it's the cover-up that'll get you, even if you're covering up very little, or nothing at all. Please just come out and say Rahm talked to him or whatever actually happened and basta. Please do not delay.
