everything will fall right into place

It's only been two days, and Obama already has a chief of staff and a senior adviser good to go. Now that's progress! xD And apparently, the current dog of the White House is piiiiiiissed about losing his big green lawn, because he bit a reporter. Bad dog! No diplomatic immunity.

I found out something that makes me feel really excellent about Obama going into office, more so than I did before and I felt pretty damn great about him before... He actually pays attention to what he says. Like, he goes back and listens to himself. He's self-aware! And he's also funny as hell when he's being candid.
"So when Brian Williams is asking me about what's a personal thing that you've done [that's green], and I say, you know, 'Well, I planted a bunch of trees.' And he says, 'I'm talking about personal.' What I'm thinking in my head is, 'Well, the truth is, Brian, we can't solve global warming because I f---ing changed light bulbs in my house. It's because of something collective'."


Now, this is disgusting. A black church in Massachusetts was burned the night of the election. I'm appalled that it happened at all, but I'm also really confused that it happened in Massachusetts. Seriously? New England wouldn't have been my first guess for the location of race-based arson.

Everyone's all in a kerfuffle over the First Dog and what breed it will be. I have to say I'll be kind of disappointed if it's a poodle. >> I know, good for allergies and all, but... a poodle? Or a labradoodle, which is what one of the girls suggested? Oh my god those dogs are so ugly. They look like llamas.

My question is, when's the last time there was a cat in the White House? There are cats in Downing Street, why not Pennsylvania Avenue? :P

I have a problem. That problem is the basket of candy next to my chair. I have eaten so many Tootsie Rolls in the past two days that my eyes have turned brown. (...wait...) I need something healthier on which to focus my grazing tendencies. Possibly a sport-sized bucket of sunflower seeds.

Peggle Nights is almost beaten through. Then I will turn my attention toward 100% clears. Oh, Peggle, how I've missed having you to waste time on. You give such good procrastination.

Clinton's cat! Socks had his own column in one of the broadsheets, if I remember.

One of the British broadsheets. I cannot remember it for the life of me which one...

Most presidents don't want the competition.
