Cool Lola

And the highlight of Obama’s speech for me was this super lola, who Obama uses to maximum effectivity as a history marker. She was old enough to be NOT ALLOWED to vote because she was a woman and she was black. It’s an amazing time for Americans. Watching it from miles and miles away, it feels like West Wing all over again (my only source of White House dynamics–so I hope Sorkin et al did their job). Pundits (or as Palin says it, pundints) say this is truly America changing right before your very eyes.
I was watching the speech and that bullet proof glass gave me the creeps. I just realised how many people could see him as a threat. Let him live, please.
If his speech is any indication of his person…then he’s definitely a Jed Bartlett in the making.
She lived long enough to see a black president in the very white house!
Thanks Mr. Bush, for doing such a bad job.
Better TV

It has a ridiculous premise but with rock solid writing. These Americans really know how to make great TV. It’s never been this good.
As for us, I don’t think it’s ever been this bad. We produce shows that look like shameful thoughtless rip-offs. It’s just awful. My days are counted as the discriminating viewer. I think, very soon, I will get my hands dirty and just be part of the problem. I dread for that time.
