Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
I am evil. I sent this to my cousin who loves hounds.
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.
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.
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!
Oh dear. And hee. Dan Savage is asking readers to pick a definition for "saddlebacking" a la "santorum" a few years ago: [link]

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.
Oh, my mom just called. She won tickets to the inauguration from the lottery for campaign workers! She is thrilled, but since she is 80 and hates the cold, she's not going. The tickets are for a place outside to watch the parade and the swearing in.
She is giving the tix to my niece and nephew, who are incredibly excited. My nephew, bless him, told her he would be happy to drive her and her BFF down and wait for them all day, so they could go. She is having a small viewing party at her house and is really happy she can give this piece of history to her grandchildren. These are the two whose sister died last year, so it means even more to her and to them. Go mom!
