Quick notes
posted in Economy, News, Politics |The “lice incident” was not. The school nurse moaned to me about how that class has driven her nuts because a few parents are paranoid about lice; the dotter’s reportage was garbled, thank heavens (she had said that Nurse Lady had found cocoons in her hair!!!!! ACK!).
The award was for creative writing and art. No surprise there!
Obama had a press conference today which served to indicate a few things: 1) He is not president yet, which he reiterated three times to my counting; 2) he takes the economy issue very, very seriously; 3) Paul Volcker was standing to his left and was shown during almost the entire press conference, so that’s an indicator of the type of economic advisor he’s going to tap; 4) he’s not going to discuss his security briefings; and 5) the new White House dawg will need to be hypoallergenic.
Some fun stuff:
- Election cartograms, very kewl.
- Behind the scenes on the campaign trail, also very kewl. Read all seven chapters.
- The Obama team is quite hip to the Internet: Here’s the set of Creative Commons pics of election night; the team also had “Change.Gov” ready to go. Remember, he plans to have a cabinet-level Chief Information Technology Officer to advise him.
I had other stuff to post, but can’t remember it.
Off to do some NyQuil. Drugs are good.
