Cool "Change" poster: These posters look strangely familiar

edit: "Poster", not "poser".

Happy birthday, Jon!

I like this post from AmericaBlog about Michelle Obama and DC:

The Obamas are changing the tone of the city (for the actual residents, not "The Villagers"). They've created a bit of a buzz around town -- and D.C. rarely buzzes. I have to give a shout out to Michelle Obama, who has really been making an impact. Almost every day, she's doing some cool event like the one this week for Black History Month with D.C. kids. She's going to all the cabinet agencies to thank the federal employees for their service. And, she's been stopping at local social service organizations around town. But, the day I knew she was really cool was when she went to the Five Guys right off Dupont Circle for burgers and fries. I've had a lot of burgers in my life, but nothing compares to Five Guys. It's just really good and totally unpretentious. Michelle is making D.C. seem fun -- and that's no small task.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JON!!!

ROOMBA FAQ (from McSweeney's)

How do children and pets react to Roomba?

In general, children and pets react positively to Roomba. In some rare cases, however, Roombas have been known to kill those they view as threats to their continued survival. If you notice your Roomba acting aggressively toward your pet or child, simply return the Roomba to your place of purchase for a full refund.

does anyone know of a good website to research salaries in a region/city - not average salary, but actual salary examples of what is available?

Try www.glassdoor.com -- some regions probably have better coverage than others, but there are definitely very specific examples.

Didn't I see something about someone suing Phelps over one of his little events and winning? or is that just wistful thinking?

And, something to make Phelps and his ilk have fits, George Mason University's new homecoming queen.

Emmett made her a martini. With three olives.

See, that's why you have kids!

I am at home, trying to pull together some research for a class- have to hand in a preliminary outline/bibliography for my Law & Higher Ed class on Monday.

Universities do Homecoming Courts?!?!?

Apparently ABC family will be showing both Grease and Grease 2 this weekend.

Because nothing says "family" like the lyrics to "Greased Lightning".

My cousin and I watched Grease 2 a ridiculous number of times on HBO back in the day. We also watched Pollyanna on the Disney channel many times that summer. Good times.
