Oh, this is good: Obama to Bush: I Can Release Your Records. Don't Like It? Sue.
AWESOME.
Also, awwwww, Aretha (talking about singing on Tuesday): [link]
Yesterday, Mother Nature was not very kind to me. I'm going to deal with her when I get home. It, by no means, was my standard. I was not happy with it, but I just feel blessed because it could have been five above zero or five below zero like it is in Detroit.
I was still blessed to be able to pretty much just sing the melody, but I wasn't happy with it, of course.
Don't worry, Your Highness. Your "below-standard" is miles above most others' "OMGAWESOME." And your hat kicked all sorts of ass.
Le oops. Double-postiness!
Oh, this is good: Obama to Bush: I Can Release Your Records. Don't Like It? Sue.
Bush: He cain't do that! Can he do that?
Cheney: We'll fight that son of a bitch to the bitter end.
Bush: I mean...do those records include...everything?
Cheney: Probably.
Bush: Even, you know...cell phone...stuff?
Cheney: "Cell phone stuff"?
Bush: Well, I, uh...I took my cell phone, see and as a joke, you know...I, uh...stuck it down my drawers and took a picture.
Cheney: Crap. So did I.
*beat*
Bush/Cheney: CALL MY LAWYER!
Future generations should have a textbook of the Bush/Cheney years.

You know, I thought Jon Stewart was kidding when he said Obama would need a week to fix the Middle East.
Now I'm wondering if that was a conservative estimate...
Not banned, just strongly discouraged. My personal feeling is that it's 2009 and the Secret Service should learn to work with it.
And someone smart enough to be president is probably smart enough not to use email for things like "OK, see you at noon at 14th and K!" or "Go ahead and bomb the shit out of those losers."
ION, I just tried this new bagel place by my office, and it was good, except the "everything" bagel didn't have salt on it. The place sells salt bagels! If I had known there would be no salt on the everything bagel, I would have just gotten the salt bagel. Ah well.
Well, considering that his first phone calls to foreign leaders weren't to the standard BFFs of the USA (Britain, France, etc.), but were instead to the main players in the Middle East, he's at least showing them that he considers them priority one.
I started to cry in the car again when they said "President Obama."
In other news of things that make me cry, I am very arithmatic challenged and I need to figure out some vacation expenses and it's giving me a headache. I know this should be easy but it's just not to me. Anybody want to help?
We rented a car for 7 days (Saturday to Saturday) for a total of $387. 3 people shared that car for 3 days. 2 of those people then shared it for 1 day. And 1 of those people had it alone for the remaining 3 days. How much does each person owe?
This is way beyond my skills.

I think the greater concern is that someone could hack into president@whitehouse.gov and start WWIII. (Which isn't possible if everyone knows the president doesn't use email.)
Presidential email also makes archiving even more of a nightmare than it already is - since everything has to be archived in it's original form, whatever version of Outlook Obama is using today has to be preserved somehow in the Library of Congress. (This is why I'm guessing the Obama Twitter account will be dark for the duration of his Presidency.)
