I can't stop thinking about how ...

- Barack and Michele Obama, the couple, continue to captivate the public and the press, most recently in the cover story of the NYTimes Sunday magazine: "The first marriage. It's modern, it's a formidable international brand and it's an ongoing negotiation." Sounds like a reality show promo to me. Behind the scenes with those sleek and powerful Obamas. The First Lady's Halloween leopard ...

- Now is the time for all good men to put their hands together, pull them apart and rapidly put them back together again, and repeat, to give props to the President for not curling up into a fetal position with a "Kick Me" sign taped to his butt. You know. Like a Democrat. He's taking it straight to his perceived enemy, calling both Fox News and Rush Limbaugh radical and out of the ...

- This sounds a bit weird despite its tragic resonances. One can imagine that in Guantanamo Bay some kinds of music might be considered torture simply because of their quality. Here we are talking decibel levels to “help break uncooperative detainees”.Musicians have joined the coalition that is backing Barack Obama’s shut down plan for the camp for terrorist suspects. The group is depending ...

- Dick Cheney, a former vice president, today accused Barack Obama, a sitting president, of "dithering around" and not moving quickly enough when it comes to deciding whether or not to send more troops to Afghanistan. But, why does Dick Cheney care? What is his interest in the current administration's decision, one way or another?

- While I've been paying a bit of attention lately to the local stage to try to do my part in making sure we don't have another disastrous four years under Governor Jon Corzine (especially since I unfortunately did my part to put him IN office by voting for him), the national circus has continued. Rather than a long-winded tirade today, let's just do a tally, shall we?$6,700 - The amount of ...

- Barack Obama was President a mere 12 days before the Nobel Peace Prize nominations closed and he still won. I know, I know. "He showed early promise." Talk about handing in an A paper at the beginning of the semester. Less than two weeks in office and he earns himself a Peace Prize. This guy is good.

I may not always agree with the ways he views the world, but I am proud of his accomplishments. Some of you may say that he failed to meet his promises when it comes to healthcare and other matters, but he working hard. United ...

- Just between You and I, I'm begining to admire the multitude of "HATS" the new President chooses to wear ,particularly the one where he gose to to Denmark to negotiate and promote Chicago as the favored site of the 2012 Olympics, 'cause that's some surefire multi-tasking and micro-managing .from our baby 'Boy Wonder"! Then there's 'the hat' he wears as he demonstrates ...
