I'm finding myself weirdly fascinated by the Obamas. It's like I have a crush on the whole damn family.
Me, too. They are just so darned adorable - every one of them.
I can handle the Oz Full Monty. I mean, not 'handle' handle.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Now tagless for your comfort.
Fascinating article on an ex-missionary turned linguist who's taking on Chomsky's theory or universal language.

Rahm Emanuel's hate-on for Howard Dean distresses me. I'll be interested to see how/if Obama reaches out to Dean (who's 50 state strategy has worked twice now).
Dean is stepping down as chairman of the DNC.

The older Obama daughter (Malia?) is really beautiful.

Oh, man. Getting woken up by a ringing phone while in the middle of a horrific zombie dream is really not the way to start the morning.

I've set the Time magazine cover of Obama--and his asterix--as my new computer desktop.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
From McSweeney's: An Electoral-College breakdown for my French in-laws that meets all their preconceptions.
I'm trying to decide if his description of Florida or Ohio is more apt, but they did call Laura, Tep and Cash to mind.
Heh. The description of soccer in Ohio's section was 100% on the money:
For them, "soccer" is the word for Europe's national pastime, but in Ohio this sport is only allowed to be played until the age of 13.

Oooh, there's an "Obama Daily community on LJ!
The set of pictures from yesterday when the Obamas went to the White House, made me think a few things:
(1) Dude, the Obamas -- both of them -- are SO MUCH TALLER than the Bushes (both of them)!
(2) W. looks a little uncomfortable next to Barack.
(3) In the picture (I can't link to the individual pictures, which sucks) where W. and Barack are walking down the hall-like area with the fan-shaped window behind them, Obama looks SO at ease and SO comfortable, like he's already moved in. And W. looks constipated.
