The Political Junkie, at 12:24 pm today:

It's cold outside, the economy stinks, and the Yankees still haven't signed Mark Teixeira.

The Associated Press, two minutes ago:

The New York Yankees have reeled in another prime free agent, reaching a preliminary agreement with first baseman Mark Teixeira for $180 million over eight years.

A person familiar with the negotiations disclosed the agreement, which is subject to a physical. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal was not yet final.

Coincidence? I think not.
