*facepalm* Such an infant! Clearly, the years of budgeting and scheduling had not yet taken their toll.

A comment on our times, a comment on my brain, and puppy picspam

Very funny and sort of sad article in the NYT about Pres-Elect Obama having to give up his crackberry in the name of security. He fully intends to keep his laptop, tho, making himn First Pres Evah with a laptop in the Oval Office.

Wow. He really is One of Us, isn't he?

I hope they at least let him be BigO@whitehouse.gov.
