Barack Obama signed a new law which tries to limit the reach tobacco companies have when advertising to children.

(How awesome was Joe Biden’s hot pink tie? Love it.)
The law bans tobacco companies from advertising within 1000 from schools and playground and curves their power to tempt children with “appealing flavors.”
Obama said he hopes the bipartisan [...]

John McCain stood before his peers to discuss the events in Tehran and the death of a young Iranian woman named “Neda.”
Neda Soltan was shot and killed during a protest in the streets of Tehran. Viral videos of her bloody death have spread all over the internet.
Her name has become the newest rally cry for [...]

Vice President Joe Biden had to swear in the Administration’s senior staff today, only he didn’t know the words.
Instead of just asking for the oath script and calling it a day, he made a snide remark about Chief Justice Roberts that evidently left President Obama seeing red.
Watch our new president’s reaction to Biden’s jab.

During the [...]

I love Diane von Furstenburg. Her Spring 2009 collection is below.

She uses flowy materials in bohemian cuts that remind me of meadows, hills, and tambourines. Spring to her is what it is to me: a time to pick wildflowers and look ultra feminine while remaining comfort and glamorous.
I approve.

The Oval Office was the scene of a historic photo op. Four presidents and President-Elect Obama met to discuss how he was going to clean up after all their mistakes. Awkward.

Right wing nut Pat Robertson said he’d give Bush a “C-” and that he’s “remarkably pleased” with Obama, thus far.  Ladies and gentlemen, we have just entered the Twilight Zone.

About a month ago, Robertson also said the President-elect could be one of the best leaders in the history of the United States.
Obama has gotta have [...]

The White House, Iraqis, and even Hugo Chavez comment on Shoe-Slinger Gate.

Governor Blagojevich, the man who basically put Barack Obama’s senate seat on E-Bay, still hasn’t resigned from his position.
Outraged state law makers will take action in to their own hands and start a committee to starr the impeachment process.

Democracy is in danger but bureaucracy makes the process to defend it drag.  I would think what [...]

Obama is keeping it in the family when it comes to his appointment for Education Secretary.

Chris Matthews et al. discuss the friction between the Clinton and Kennedy dynasties within the new context of Caroline's political ambitions.

When my friend Alli was moving to Richmond, I helped her. While she got everything ready, there was no cable. So I did what I always do when I have no TV:  I bought a thick book.

That’s how I finally started the Twilight series.
Yes, I am admitting I read the first three Twilight books in [...]

Governor Sarah Palin’s home church in Wasilla, Alaska was lit ablaze today.  Officials are calling it arson.

The fire took 8 hours to douse. There were also people inside of the building when the fire was set, including two children.  Luckily no one was injured.

The Associated Press reports the church is valued as much as [...]

An Iraqi man angrily threw his size 10 shoes at President Bush during a press conference held in Baghdad today.

According to the International Herald Tribune, the man was saying: “This is a gift from the Iraqis; this is the farewell kiss, you dog” when he threw the first one and “This is from the widows, [...]

President John F. Kennedy's inaugural address, January 20th 1961.

Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors. Together let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tap the ocean depths, and encourage the arts and commerce.
Let both sides unite to heed in all corners of the earth the command of Isaiah %u2014 to "undo the heavy burdens ... and to let the oppressed go free."
And if a beachhead of cooperation may push back the jungle of suspicion, let

President John F. Kennedy's inaugural address, January 20th 1961.

Vice President Johnson, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Chief Justice, President Eisenhower, Vice President Nixon, President Truman, reverend clergy, fellow citizens, we observe today not a victory of party, but a celebration of freedom %u2014 symbolising an end, as well as a beginning %u2014 signifying renewal, as well as change.
