Oh, shut up
Turning conventional wisdom on its head, business book author Susan Cain argues that bosses who place a high value on collaboration waste the ideas and problem-solving talents of introverts, who don't function well in a team environment.
If Cain's book does nothing else but lead to fewer awkward office birthday parties, The Buzz says she deserves the Pulitzer Prize.
Down in front: Mitt Romney's decisive victory in Nevada on Saturday, and a slate of upcoming caucuses and primaries in states favorable to the former Massachusetts governor, leave his rivals with no clear path to the Republican nomination.
It might be just as well for Rick Santorum and Ron Paul, who can't see around Newt Gingrich's head anyway.
Bursting bladders: The New York Giants' last-minute victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI on Sunday was a mixed blessing for America's football fans.
After so many Super Stinkers over the years (we're looking at you, Seahawks and Steelers in Super Bowl XL), this year's game delivered the excitement goods. But with everyone glued to their La-Z-Boys during timeouts for the much-hyped commercials, that's a long time between bathroom breaks.
