Oh- Damp makes sense!!
I thought the director/actor guy WAS the speechwriter. I think I got it mixed up with the actor who left House to be a speechwriter.
I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
So, the POTUS approached JAMA and said he would like to write an article about the Affordable Care Act, and it was published today. Can you IMAGINE being the poor editor who had to edit the President???? (It wasn't me.) Or having to follow up and pester him if he didn't return the article on time?
I'd have to refill the Xanax script, but I'd do that. And I'd wear a t-shirt that said EditorOTUS erry day.
Apparently this is the first time a POTUS from the modern era (however that's defined; it was in a press release) has been published in JAMA. The whole company is losing its shit. In a professional way.
For real, I would be shrieking into a pillow like an emo teenager if the POTUS was published in one of our journals.
(full disclosure, I am an emo teenager)

And it's hilarious, because the byline is "Barack Obama, JD." That's it. I need to check the PDF to see what the author information says.

I have to look up the article- it might be good for one of our classes!

Is it online yet? Is it behind a paywall? I really want to read that.

Kal Penn, but he wasn't a speechwriter, he was an associate director at the Office of Public Engagement (under his birth name, Kalpen Modi).

That's kind of hilarious about Obama and the article (though I'm sure the editor was corresponding with some secretary or speechwriter)
Damp makes sense too. The quiz was horrid. Now I want a better quiz!!
I dyed all my hair blue last night. Some of it ended up more turquoise. And it was fluffy because I didn't put any product in it. So basically I looked like a dr Seuss character. I have now re-dyed it and am hoping for more superhero blue hair instead. Fingers crossed (it's still wet so hard to tell)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm on grand jury duty this week, and they gave us a long lunch today, so I went home and watched Match Game. I feel like I'm back in junior high.
