Obama, Michelle and Bo
What with the Barack Obama’s many appearance on TV shows, Michelle Obama’s fashion news, and now Bo the White House Dog’s recent appearance on the White House Lawn, it seems that the White House and it’s inhabitants are always in the news. I’m a little worried that Obama is turning out to be quite a […]

Obama is finally President-Elect. I truly, truly, truly think that this man will make a great President, one every American will be proud to have at the helms of the nation. He has campaigned for over 21 months, and what an exhausting campaign it must have been ! His sprightly energy – he bounded up […]

I have never watched so much CNN in my life. It’s gotten to the point where I’ve actually watched re-runs of the same program, on CNN. My husbands kids me about it – calls it my favorite channel. I have never read up, or followed politics as much as I follow now, via Salon, The […]

Earlier this week, we found out that $150000 was spent on pretty-ing up Sarah Palin. So the hockey-mom who tries to identify with the Joe-sixpacks and the common man, shops at Neiman Marcus and Saks. Nice. If I was someone contributing to the McCain-Palin campaign, I would be pretty mad right now.Yeah, you send them […]

This election is pretty surreal. It started with McCain choosing Palin as his running-mate, and then increased when we discovered that Palin couldn’t open her mouth without committing gaffes (seeing Russia from her house indeed !), or give straight answers during the VP debate. As a VP, or as a President (and I don’t even […]

When this race started, I sort of thought of Obama and McCain as equals in my head – both basically decent men, who would do their best for the country. However, as the days have gone by, Obama is starting to come off as the better man, cool-tempered even in a crisis, reasonable, and more […]

Watching the debate this Friday, I thought McCain appeared to be condescending and sort-of miffed. If this is the time to put off rivalries and partisan-ship, he sure didn’t do as he said. He wouldn’t look at Obama, and kept addressing him in the third person. Not only is that condescending, it’s plain rude and […]

September 11th is marked on my kid’s school planner with a ribbon. A little printed red and blue ribbon near the date. And looking at it this past Tuesday I realize that it is that day, once again. We remember, and the world remembers with us. Memorial services are held, one of which I see […]
