An Open Letter to President-Elect Barack Obama

This morning when Monkey woke up I told him that the man he picked to be president won.
Realize my 4 year-old picked you on a whim yesterday based on your appearance. So congrats on that.
I chose to break my two-presidential-election streak of third party voting (Nader, who has clearly gone cuckoo) to vote for you [...]

Are you comfortable, Senator Obama?

SEN. CLINTON: Well, can I just point out that in the last several debates, I seem to get the first question all the time. And I don’t mind. I — you know, I’ll be happy to field them, but I do find it curious, and if anybody saw “Saturday Night Live,” you know, maybe we [...]

Hindsight’s 20/20

I jokingly promised my friend Texas in Africa here that I would admit to this; then I read this and had to do it (and boy, this might get me in trouble with “the internets” as TIA likes to say):

Be sure to check out The Onion’s descriptions of the [...]

Brief Hurrah. Then…blah.

I don’t really plan to talk about work here for several reasons. For one thing, I think it’s bad mojo to talk about work on your blog, particularly if you’re going negative – who knows who is reading your blog? Additionally, I like my job, plus I work on nights from home and on weekends [...]

At least he doesn’t fall…

Who wants to see Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee on a Segway?
 I am sorry, but no one – no one – looks cool on one of these things.

Who watches Oprah anyway?

Let me preface this by stating that I likely won’t vote for either of these candidates – I’m still in the exploratory stage and will likely vote for someone that doesn’t have a snowball’s chance of making it through the primaries. That’s how we roll on Awesome Avenue.
I read this about Oprah backing Obama and was [...]
