And we're nearly there...nearly...the iPhone just needs a bowtie.

Hillary as Secretary of State?

I didn't believe it at first, but it's seeming more and more likely that Hillary will be Secretary of State.

Here's my little theory. On the night that Obama and her met after he'd won the primaries they did a clever little deal. He knew that she wouldn't want a crap job like Vice President, one because it's a crap job, two because if he lost the election she'd be untainted and the presumptive nominee for 2012. So he promised to offer her Secretary of State if she played nice during the presidential campaign. If he won, which he did, she gets the option of a great job. If he loses, she's a shoe-in for 2012.

We all assumed he didn't want her as VP because then he'd have Bill hanging around all the time. But it's probably that SHE didn't want to be VP! She wanted a real job! NoDramaObama probably feels like he can handle Bill now that the election is over.

No one as irish as Barack O'Bama

It's fascinating how affectionate the satire surrounding Obama is. And yes, I admit it, I too have turned into an irrational Obama fanboy.

The Death Penalty

I'm not a blood thirsty person. But if someone I knew and loved was murdered in a terrorist attack, there's a very good chance I'd want my revenge. I'd probably want them killed. I might even want to do it myself.

My hope is that my family, friends, and government would always prevent me from doing so. I certainly hope they would never enact revenge on my behalf.

Congratulations Mr President Elect

Congratulations Barack.
