Who's Zoomin' Who? →
Rep. Barney Frank is not feeling the Republican response to why the bailout bill failed Monday. The Republicans came twelve people short in a vote where the Democrats brought two-thirds…
McCain aids say it was Barack’s fault the bailout failed claiming he didn’t get enough Dems. Um, I thought the Republicans killed the bill?
Designer Panichgul Pleased As Punch of Obama's... →
Love it, hate it, tre chic or couch cover, designer Thakoon Panichgul is thrilled that Michelle Obama loves his designs. And — get this — he wasn’t the one who introduced them to her.
There Goes The Money, Pt. II →
It’s the end of the money as we know it and I feel fine (largely because I didn’t have any to begin with).
A deal has been made (so they stay) and the carnage continues (Citigroup just…

I imagine it’s because she’s corny as hell, right? Right?
Never has one woman who has impressed so little inspired so much.
And the Designer of Michelle's Debate Night Dress... →
Thakoon Panichgul! The same New York-based designer who made the dress Michelle Obama wore after her husband’s acceptance speech during the Democratic National Convention…
Michelle’s dress was another number by Thankoon. The same woman who made the dress she wore for Barack’s speech in Denver. She’s hot. But I’m still not feeling the floral print!
More Michelle and Barack Debate Night Pics! →
Why? Because you know you want to look at them some more! (All pictures from Barack Obama’s Flickr page.) Thanks reader JJai!
Odd. Extremely high volume of readers today. Some of it’s because of Michelle’s dress, but the rest I can’t put my finger on.
Relaxing today, sort of. Got my debate update up and my Michelle fashion update up. Now talking to mommy and Big Sis. Good times.
Michelle's Debate Night Dress: Love It Or Hate It? →
First off: Those Obamas love to hug each other (As you see in the pictures below). Not complaining. The hugging is awesome.
Second: When you’re as tall and as shapely as Michelle Obama…
So Who Won? →
There was nothing definitive as far as I could tell.
John McCain was grumpy but effective. Barack Obama proved detractors that he did know his stuff on foreign policy and despite…
Ridiculously busy day, but I’m ready for some presidential debate action!
Buyer's Remorse →
Conservative columnist Kathleen Parker wants her money back. Well, not actual money, but she would probably like to take a few words back. If she ever said anything good about Gov….

Lawd, have mercy. I didn’t think anything could be worse than the first interview. It’s like Katie’s Mike Wallace here. I actually winced through the uncomfortably long…
Why I Heart Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert →
See! Now that’s satire. I get exactly what that is supposed to be about. It’s pitch freakin’ perfect, comedy gold. It’s so meta and so absurd with absurdity being the rule of law in…
So mentally tired. I’m going to eat some grapes, make some tea and watch some news. Then some Hardball. Then return to my writing post.
Katie Couric Beats the Palin Pinata →
When CBS News anchor Katie Couric starts getting licks in it’s time to be concerned. I’m not saying Couric is a bad journalist or a featherweight. I didn’t mind her all when she was on…

You Don't Dump David Letterman, Johnny Mac. David... →
Hmm. I don’t think David Letterman appreciates being stood up, nor do I think he believes John McCain’s sudden “urgency” theory about why he needed to suspend his campaign. Hmmm….
Why So Serious? →
He played it about as well as you could play it.
Pointing out that you have to “multitask” as president, that there are a lot of things going on right now but the debate wasn’t just…

Above: A scene from the 2006 Christopher Nolan directed film “The Prestige.” Below: John McCain give us the two-thumb salute. How many card tricks and fluffy white,…
Things on NPR went well. I’m a little spent from having a bit of a temper tantrum earlier. Now I just want to either sleep or eat.
McCain wants to ditch the debate, economy too... →
This is amazing considering a week ago he couldn’t even admit there was a crisis, but John McCain is “suspending his campaign” and asking that Barack Obama do the same and them both…
