I listened to NPR on the way to work this morning just because they kept saying, "President Obama." I didn't particularly care what they were reporting about, I just got a buzz out of hearing, "President Obama" every 3 minutes or so.

Where can you do the Obama-izing, Kat???
I have no idea how rents are doing around me, but my rent didn't go UP, and I was happy about that.

And I got here too late to help with the math. Darn.
Yeah, me too. I worked it out before checking. I think the key (because the amount of numbers involved can be overwhelming) is to break it down to one problem at a time. First, how much does the car cost per day? Then work out how much each person owes per day, which is easier at that point.
Of course, nobody cares anymore. But I think a lot about how to explain these things.

Thank you! I wish I'd had you for 4th grade math!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What I really want to see from Obama is some sort of investigation/prosecution of Bush et al for violations of US and international law in the torture of detainees. I know Obama wants to "look forward" but maybe he can appoint Patrick Fitzgerald to head an investigation? If prosecutions are warranted, I'm sure Obama could do a good job explaining to the people why they're necessary.

Well, I'm not saying I actually SUCCEED in explaining things well. Just that I think about it!
Do you think Obama could just reopen the WPA? That would be cool.
