Kid's letters to Obama

Dear President Obama,

I want to tell you hi. Do you work with Santa Claus? Can I meet you in your house? Can I say bye to you after I meet you? And then can I meet you again? And then again after that?

Letter from Bush's daughters to Obama's daughters

Not nearly as revealing as I would have hoped, a little to ... polished. It makes me think it is a bit of PR and not really an open letter from the Bush daughters to Obama's children. But, interestesting to read all the same!

In Honor of Today being a GREAT Tuesday

Why I'm ANGRY and relieved that Bush leaves is put so articulately in this note, with a damningly long list of heartbreaking elements from the past 8 years.

Why I'm HAPPY and relieved that Obama is arriving is told in this short and powerful story by a conductor in Chicago who had an interesting experience with Obama as a senator here.

And lest I get too sentimental, the 44th president is coming!

Smarter than the president isn't saying much

at least, its not saying much if we're referring to the soon to be former president Bush. Slate has compiled a list of the top 25 verbal gaffes he has made in his eight year reign. They had an abundance to choose from so this list is especially cringe-worthy.
