Charles Krauthammer, a conservative American pundit, claims that Barack Obama uses words like "I", "me", "my" and "mine" so often he must have a clinical level of self-love. This view has been shown to be utterly false - Mr Obama uses first-person singular pronouns less than all of his recent predecessors. But never mind the facts; the myth seems unkillable http://econ.st/1wolDcY

Why Harvard Is Smarting
Harvard has lost about $350 million through an investment in hedge fund Sowood Capital, founded by a former Harvard-endowment manager. He isn't the only Harvard manager with a mixed record since leaving the ivory tower.
(WSJ)
smart
intr.v., smart·ed, smart·ing, smarts.
- To cause a sharp, usually superficial, stinging pain: The slap delivered to my face smarted.
- To be the location of such a pain: The incision on my leg smarts.
- To feel such a pain.
- To suffer acutely, as from mental distress, wounded feelings, or remorse: “No creature smarts so little as a fool” (Alexander Pope).
- To suffer or pay a heavy penalty.
REGIONAL NOTE Smart is a word that has diverged considerably from its original meaning of “stinging, sharp,” as in a smart blow. The standard meaning of “clever, intelligent,” probably picks up on the original semantic element of vigor or quick movement. Smart has taken on other senses as a regionalism. In New England and in the South smart can mean “accomplished, talented.” The phrase right smart can even be used as a noun meaning “a considerable number or amount”: “We have read right smart of that book” (Catherine C. Hopley).
