Hotness is all that really matters

Intellect, humor, kindness. A new dating Web site is interested in none of that. HotEnough.org (http://www.hotenough.org) cuts through all that meaningless stuff that other matchmaking sites dwell on. You have to be at least an 8 out of 10 on the attractiveness scale to become a member and to vote on who gets in (http://www.heraldnet.com/stories/07/03/22/100wir_a2hotenough001.cfm).

Before you go there, a few words of advice:

  • If you aren’t sure whether you’re hot enough, you’re definitely not.
  • If it even crosses your mind to post someone else’s pictures as your own, you’re not hot enough.

    To find out if you’re Internet hot, you can always post your photo at AmIHotOrNot.com (http://www.amihotornot.com) and let the public decide. But you can’t take the results too seriously. They let ugly people vote.

    Paul McCartney signed on with Starbucks for a distribution deal (http://www.heraldnet.com/stories/07/03/22/100wir_a2mccartney001.cfm). For those of us who have been on a Starbucks boycott since Howard Schultz stuck it to Sonics fans, this means we’re going to have to boycott Paul, too.

    No problem. This isn’t 1969. Just don’t let Schultz near U2.

    The Everett Post Office is holding a “passport fair” (http://www.heraldnet.com/stories/07/03/22/100wir_b7licenses001.cfm). At last, someone has found a way to mix government bureaucracy with Ferris wheels and scones.
