Must Read! ... A Beer with Obama

John Kenney, over on 'The New Yorker', has a most humorous post up, riffing on last nights' Beer-and-Pony Show'

Here's a snip;

"A Beer with Obama"

The Oval Office. Late. President Obama sits across from Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and Officer James Crowley, who share a couch. They sit amidst several empty beer bottles. No one’s wearing shoes.

[snip]

OBAMA: I like giving speeches. I like press conferences.

CROWLEY: You give a lot of press conferences. Maybe, like, too many?

GATES: I think he’s right. Maybe don’t give so many.

OBAMA: But you should see the speeches I have lined up. They’re all so…emotional. I’ve got a new one on infrastructure that quotes Rosa Parks for no reason. But it makes you cry.

There's much more, so go read John Kenney's "A Beer with Obama"... It's hysterical!

Ain't Nobody's Business But My Own

We're giving into the, absolutely, oppressive humidity today, almost strong enough, not just to peel paint, but have it get up and book away.

However, we couldn't completely ignore the "Beer-and-Pony Show", at the White House this evening, uniting all the headliners of the Skip Gates - Sgt. Crowley Debacle, the cameras so trained on the table, as if waiting for it to explode.

Steve Clemons, over on The Washington Note, gets the "Post-of-the-Day", for, paying lip service to that, then detailing the soirees he will be attending this evening, and what he will be drinking, "at the National Geographic Society event featuring Philippines President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo ... Singapore Embassy to pay respects to Singapore Ambassador Chan Heng Chee ... the home of Australia Ambassador to the US Dennis Richardson who is throwing what probably will be the best party in DC tonight for the members of the Australian-American Leadership Dialogue ... the home of Yemen Ambassador to the US Abdulwahab Abdulla Al-Hajjri ..."



Nor, the bombshell baseball news today, that Manny-Being-Manny, and David Ortiz (Big Pop-Out, this year), were juiced, and doped up, in 2003, just at the beginning of the heralded Red Sox run, and march, to winning the 2004 World Series.

There's been a full-scale, DefCon5 call for all oral surgeons to report to Boston, to fix the dropped jaws of the scores-of-thousands in Red Sox Nation.

I guess, when you're battling against a 86-year-old curse, you gotta go outside the box, so to speak.

All the more burning to those die-hard Fenway Faithful, since the list of 100+ was to kept secret.

For the confluence of both of these happening today, we turn it over to the whimsical vocals of Taj Mahal, with this old classic;
