Is the black president in The Event definitively post-Obama, or is he post-24, post-Heroes? Someone on another thread called him an Obama-lookalike, and I just barely didn't say "so we all look the same to you??" because, NO RESEMBLANCE.
To anyone that's seen it--is the character at least similar to Obama to deflect the vibes I'm getting off this comment? Is he like Obama?
He's closer to Obama than to Palmer, but I don't know if that's enough to justify that kind of comment. They've established that his family is from Cuba. Maybe people are taking that as a sideways reference to Obama.
My beets said August. They are demised appropriately.
The Event president is Latino! Can we make a big deal of that? Obama's not claiming a heritage that's much other than a typically black and white bread one. Obama isn't being Kenyan all up in the White House mug. I'm all offended at the poster on the other board.

If you buy more you likely won't have to throw them out until Christmas.
Difficult to say, if he's like Obama - well,
he's black, he's a family man and (I think) that they were in Hawaii. Policy wise - can't tell. And of course, Blair Underwood in no way resembles Obama.
On the other hand, in the timing: post Obama and post Palmer.
Also post the black prez in Heroes and post Freeman in that asteroid movie. Black presidents not hard to come by onscreen.

I know! That's what they seemed to be pointing at in the show.
Finally got some more vacation pictures posted, on Photobucket for now.

Really enjoyed reading about everyone’s approaches to explaining their food issues. I’m pescetarian I guess, but in practice vegetarian most of the time. Now that I’ve given up gluten though, I feel like I should maybe start eating meat again, as I don’t want to be that person who’s all “Yeah I can’t eat that, or that, or that”. That said, I really don’t mind when people say that to me; it just makes me cook more creatively, which is a good thing. I’m the default cook amongst my friends and I have a number of vegetarians, a lactose-intolerant person, and some just plain picky eaters (vegetarians who don’t eat vegetables, for instance) and I really don’t mind catering to people’s allergies, intolerances or just plain preferences, so I don’t know why I’m so freaked out at asking other people to do that for me.
I'm at work. What the hell?
Skipping sigh-once-more because, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Sophia Brooks' birthday.
Happy birthday, Sophia! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!
