Wanna know why I named my boy Waco?

Really, I should have my own talking head pundit show. Scooped them by 6 months.

That said, it doesn't strike me as any stupider than many of the other reasons children are given the name they get. And it is, I think, a perfectly nice name.

Oh, it isn't the name, or the reason she gave it. It was the whole "Like... gosh... I was going to be this totally rad sports announcer or something. But I found out I'd have to move to Connecticut. (Whatever!) So I stayed here and got this gig as Governor instead. It’s totally like work, so it kinda sucks. Then this old creepy dude wanted to make me Vice President. At first I said 'as if!'. But he explained what it was, and I thought it sounded totally cool, so I totally went for it.”

Well, I didn't read the article so I'll take your word that tone is there (though I don't see it in the quoted part).

Well, she should have kept to her original plan, become a sportscaster. She'd probably be best buddies with Keith Olbermann now.

Alex · 02-06-2009, 02:10 PM

Probably not, most people who have worked with him haven't really enjoyed the experience (from what I hear).

I understand that Congressman basically have to start campaigning for their next election as soon as they start the term - but I think the Democratic Congressional Committee is starting a LITTLE too early on bashing Republicans for voting against the first version of the stimulus package.

Yes, I realize the Republican from New Orleans is going to face a tough opponent in 2 years and Yes, the Democratic National group is going to be throwing TONS of dollars because it probably IS a seat they can win back. But to start the anti-campaign THIS early is a bit extreme, in my book.

Don't know how to link to it but... CNN.com is reporting that Obama bumped his head getting into Marine One this morning.
Call out the National Guard!

It's actually a pretty funny clip in that there is no narration. It just shows him walking across the lawn and then bumping his head. At least they could have put in some Looney Tunes music behind it or something...

Shouldn't this be in the First 100 Days thread?

They should photoshop Obama into that Stormtrooper bit in Star Wars.
