23/6 Op-Ed: It's 12:13 PM, President Obama... where is my job?

Tue, 20 Jan 2009 12:13:00 -0500

Dear Mr. President
You have been commander-in-chief for seven minutes now, and we have one question for you: Where is our job? You promised to provide 3 million jobs and yet here we are, still drunk, unemployed and wearing Saturday night's pajamas. We have used this time to ruminate on your presiden

31% of you like me! 31% of you really like me!

Bush just got a parting gift from the American people: his last Gallup polls shows that his approval rating went up to a year-long high of 31%. It's still in historically low territory, but, then again, it's still higher than a full thirty other numbers! That's a lot of numbers. Plus, the p

Remember the annoying blond halfwit who had 15 minutes of fame during the McCain campaign? Well she's back. And it's not Sarah Palin, it's the other one: McCain's "blogette," Megan McCain. Though just as Sarah hasn't stopped giving interviews, Megan hasn't stopped blogging. In an interview with

Fri, 09 Jan 2009 17:12:02 -0500

We have not understood Rod Blagojevich's power over the state of Illinois until this press conference. He is persuasive, well-dressed and our new pretend boyfriend. Tough, yet sensitive. He quotes Tennyson, loves pap smears and hosts Pink potlucks. Once d

If life gives you lemons: make Obama Stimulus Juice

Tue, 13 Jan 2009 14:11:59 -0500

How does an incoming president who promises change and bold break from the usual style of Washington pandering sell his new policies? By respecting the people enough to be straight with them focusing group testing all the new policies. According to Bloomberg, the Obama team is

From The Feed: A highly stimulating speech

Thu, 08 Jan 2009 12:34:08 -0500

Nah just kidding, and hoping the New York Post wants me as a headline writer. Obama's speech today was a total downer. Apparently we're all gonna have to start working in the mines for The Chinese which, while a nice ironic turnabout, will make my English degree feel pretty pointless. At least the

First day of school for Sasha and Malia! The exclusive Sidwell Friends School rolled out the welcome mat for the first daughters today. We're betting the school transfer is going to take a lot of adjustment, but if these girls can deal with being the president-elect's daughters, they'll probably b

It's the first day of the 111th Congress and Barack Obama has gotten off to a bad start. With incoming chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee Dianne Feinstein, at least.
