"To Cristina, My Stimulus."

-- The book dedication in Time Magazine correspondent Michael Grunwald's new book, a tome about, what else, President Obama's stimulus package. The dedication inspired a blog post by the New Republic's Simon van Zuylen-Wood who said, "It was so disturbing, so Washington, that I had to put the book down." Grunwald wasn't too happy about TNR's "no-heart, no-humor" assessment and showed his disdain via Twitter. "Damn right Cristina's my stimulus. And FU [sic]." In case you're wondering "Cristina" is Cristina Dominguez, Grunwald's wife. "Team Grinquez got married on December 2, 2006," Grunwald shares on his personal website. "After a year in D.C., Mike and Cristina are now back in Miami with their Boston terrier, Shamu, and his baby sister, Candy," he also included.
