Offbeat: A teenage girl’s sailing the world solo in a pink yacht. A. PINK. YACHT.

We specifically cut the 16-year-old girl out of this photo because we wanted to emphasize the pinkness of the yacht. She didn’t even do it for breast cancer! source

Politics: They’re Republicans. They fear climate change. They’re hunters.

While Republicans in Congress are largely angling for big businesses in the climate change debate, a number of groups that don’t traditionally line up with liberal causes are pushing for changes that protect the environment. The National Wildlife Federation’s senior vice president for conservation, Jeremy Symons, noted that climate change was affecting their sport. “If you go out and hunt at the same time in the same season and the same place every year, then you understand the changes that are happening,” he said. In other words, they’re Teddy Roosevelt Republicans. (Those still exist, apparently.) source

Not Tina Fey, though, who he co-stars with on “30 Rock”: “Tina wasn’t scared to come into my world and find the funny up in there. She’s that kind of cool,” he wrote in his upcoming book, “I Am the New Black,” which sounds like the kind of book Tracy Morgan would write. • source
