Yes, he did appear on SNL but it was in 1994 after he was no longer president.

ETA: Whoops didn't realize I was looking at old version of page.

Not even Obama is enough to make me watch The Tonight Show (I don't know that Conan is enough).

But so long as he is just doing a mildly amusing interview then I'm generally ok with it. If he performs in a skit then I'll find it undignified (not for the man but for the office).

Yeah, I won't be watching The Tonight Show, but I entered a lottery to be in the live audience at a short-noticed Obama Town Hall meeting somewhere in Los Angeles this coming Thursday, and I'm excited at the prospect of being selected. That would be teh awEsoMe.

He's coming to one of our offices on Thursday, but not mine

Michelle Obama ordered the White House fountains dyed green in honor of St Patrick's Day. There are a lot of differing opinions out in the blogosphere. What is yours - fun and festive touch, or tacky and beneath Presidential dignity?

The fountain is fun, had they decided to dress in leprechaun costumes, that would have been tacky.

I'm glad that the stuffy "Presidential dignity" is gone. Let's have some FUN!

I find I am unable to care enough to even begin the process of scoping out how I might begin to go about starting the process of forming an opinion.

Overreaction #1: The money spent on that nonsense would have been better spent on the troops.

Overreaction #2: What part of the Establishment Clause do these people not understand?

Honest reaction #1: Much as I am against the Empire State Building and the Eiffel Tower being lit up in any color other than white, I am against the dyeing of public fountain water.

She has kids. Kids like green stuff.
