Obama is Spock
They’re not just talking about the ears. For those of us who watched the show in the 1960s (or during the countless reruns since), Nimoy’s alter ego was the harbinger of a future in which logic would reign over emotion, and rational thought triumph over blind faith. He was a digital being in an analog [...]

Obama 100 Days Photo Essay
Whether you like the man or not, this photo essay on Obama’s first 100 days in the White House is brilliant. I love the way Callie Shell captures candid moments in his life.

Bad Paintings of Barack Obama
Influenced by Shephard Fairey’s iconic image of Barack Obama if you thought no one could even paint a bad picture of the President, think again.

Georgie needs a hug
After his global warming faux pas, George Will offered this precious gem when asked for his final thought on Obama’s non-SOTU address yesterday. Is he going senile?

Bring Lobbyists Back?
“I fear they are going to try to undertake the biggest administrative challenge in American history while refusing to hire the people who can help the most: agency veterans who are registered lobbyists.” – David Brooks.So now Obama needs to include lobbyists in policymaking and dump his campaign promise of excluding them in his administration?
