  1. Jessi;

    Oh,ok. For some reason, I’m not on President Obama’s mailing list 😉

    ET;

    In fairness to that woman: I live right near 4th Ave, and I know why this happens. The lights (at least near 3rd St. and 4th Ave) do not allow one enough time to cross the Ave. I’m a pretty fast walker, and even I have trouble getting across 4th Ave in the time alloted. So I and many others do it in two steps. First, cross to the meridian, ahead of the light. Then, when the light changes, complete the journey.

  2. As I was warming up my car (yes, my car is so old, I have to manually crank it), I turn on the radio and heard:

    on 104.3 – Beatles: We Can Work it Out

    (Life is very short and there’s no time for fussing my fighting my friend.)

    on 101.1 – Queen: Another One Bites the Dust

    (How do you think I’m going to get along,
    Without you, when you’re gone
    You took me for everything that I had,
    And kicked me out on my own
    Are you happy, are you satisfied
    How long can you stand the heat)

    on 106.7 – Don’t Go Breaking my Heart

    All I can think is ‘how efing apropos!’

  3. MM,

    I think he needs to get out there better, not more. Opposition has done a far better job shaping the news cycle and managing public impressions of news events than administration has. Obama’s team is just not aggressive enough in that area.

    jester — you are right, which is why I posted above that candidates matter. The election certainly has national policy and strategic implications but it was also about the candidates. She was truly awful.

  4. Expert, that’s because the PS stroller culture think they have right of way at all times “out of my way! Kid coming through!”

    I can’t tell you how many times I walk down a sidewalk and I come across a stroller with both parents and they expect me to walk around them on the street. It’s so effing annoying.
