I hate to say it, but I think Obama is in danger of being known as the Spam President.
Also, Coulter strikes again (from her recent book):
"We also have a term for the youngsters involved: 'the children of divorce,' or as I call them, 'future strippers.'"
"In a related phenomenon, various half-black celebrities insist on representing themselves simply as "black" - the better to race-bait their way to success. Actress Halle Berry, singer Alicia Keys, and matinee idol Barack Obama were all abandoned by their black fathers and raised by their white mothers. But instead of seeing themselves as half-white, they prefer to see the glass as half-black. They all choose to identify with the fathers who ditched them, while insulting the women who struggled to raise them."
She really needs to stop this foolishness. It is not just low-class and racist/classist - it is also wrong and stupid. The amazing thing is, people buy her books. Who are these people? Most Republicans I know are too smart or sensible to listen to Coulter's rubbish. Or so I hope. Who, then, is left to pay their hard earned money to listen to her toxic brain dumpings?
And governing philosophy aside, what does Ann Coulter hope to accomplish with her "work?" The only possible answer: Nothing. She's just after the $$$. And that's pathetic.

Getting this thing started
So apparently I am now a "blogger."
I'd like to begin with a little rant about Ann Coulter.
I dislike her. She's terrible. She makes me want to jump off a bridge. But I won't. Because then Ann Coulter would win.
Sometimes I wonder whether or not she is just kidding when she says and writes the things she does. Like she's a secret communist who just enjoys riling up the right wing by being a caricature. Then I think about the possibility that she's 100% genuine. That's when my head starts to hurt. She's terrible. Just terrible.
You know who else is terrible? The Washington Nationals. No pitching. 15 troubled outfielders. But at least they don't say things like this:
"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren't punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That's war. And this is war."
That was Ann Coulter after 9/11. She also can't pitch.
On to other pressing issues. Namely, five random things that everyone should read ASAP:
1) Team of Rivals, by Doris Kearns Goodwin.
2) The Paradox of Choice, by Barry Schwartz.
3) This: http://www.newyorker.com/talk/financial/2009/01/26/090126ta_talk_surowiecki (because it is relevant to the current debate on taxes and the stimulus).
4) This: http://www.newyorker.com/archive/2005/08/29/050829fa_fact?currentPage=all (because it is interesting, even if you don't totally agree with it).
5) This: http://www.portfolio.com/news-markets/national-news/portfolio/2008/11/11/The-End-of-Wall-Streets-Boom?print=true (controversial and all, but everyone in the country should be required to read it).
Plenty more to come. I promise more cohesiveness next time. Maybe.
