It's 17°F here, with a wind chil of 7°. Tonight's projected low is 4°F with a wind chill of You Don't Wanna Know, Stay Inside You Moron!

I figure they mean the romance with the public, because I am trying to figure out how I think Michelle Obama might react if she found out her hub had a series of playboy-style extramarital affairs. I think the words "His Ass Handed to Him" figure prominently.

Well, Biden would get the chance to see if he could beat Bush's record of putting his foot in his mouth.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

That BBC Obama article has this, so they know that "romance" doesn't apply in the literal sense:

Whereas Jack Kennedy was a "playboy president" - his time in office has been labelled the "thousand days," but is almost as noteworthy for its "thousand nights" - Mr Obama exhibits an almost monastic self-discipline.

I'm guessing we're not going to have any intern nonsense going on in the Oval Office this time around.

To be fair, I've been more worried about the Jack Daniels delivery driver in the oval office the last 8 years than about interns with kneepads.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I am at work. My face is starting to thaw. Dashboard says -10°F here.

My radio woke me with the news that it is "stupid cold". I agree.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Mr Obama exhibits an almost monastic self-discipline.

Well, except for the Crackberry addiction.

The woman who got to the door at the office before I did apparently didn't have the keycard to get in so she waited for me. She didn't have any gloves on which I asked her about, and she said she left them in her car. WTF??? You don't leave your gloves in the car when it's not supposed to get above zero today, for cryin' out loud!

Um, and the smoking. He's not a saint. I get annoyed when people [not us people, media people] try to make him so "other", since the fact that he's a real guy is such a big part of why I like him.

Probably so, but I think Obama can still be a good president.
