Obama Bobblehead

The Brooklyn Cyclones are giving away 2,500 free Obama Bobbleheads on Tuesday. For the day, the team will be called the "Baracklyn Cyclones."
In homage to the the President's health care reform push, the team will also give out 500 band-Aids.

As you can see Obama is giving fans a thumbs up and wearing #44 on the back of his jersey. The game is sold out. Sorry. Standing room only.

President Obama's Cat Like Quickness

A fly rudely interrupted President Obama during an interview. With a cat like quickness, The President caught the fly and then cleaned up after himself.

Not as good as Mr.Miyagi, but pretty good.

Support for Gay Marriages... or Funerals

A growing number of Americans describe themselves as "atheist."  And among secular Americans, support for gay marriage runs around 75% - greater even than President Obama's approval rating.  So it's not entirely surprising that now, for the first time, it seems that more Americans support gay marriage than oppose it.  

However, it's worth a moment to remember that not everyone approves of gays - much less gay marriage.  Once-tolerant attitudes in Senegal, for example, are becoming less tolerant.  The body of a man thought to be gay has been dug up from the grave twice after his family attempted to bury him.  Some people did not want the man to be buried where he was.

More changes at the White House

The Obama Administration is everywhere. For those who followed the campaign, it should not be a surprise to find out that you can now find the White House has a Facebook, MySpace and Twitter page.

The administration won't be able to respond to your Facebook posts or questions, but other people in the group could give you a thumbs up.

Not Patrick Swayze's Dirty Dancing

No grinding at winter formal. That's what one Ohio high school principal said. In his opinion, the dance amounts to nothing more than simulated sex and that has no place at school. So, it's back to the awkward 8th grade dance or maybe the students can try ballroom like 'Dancing with the Stars.' That can't be cool. Maybe President Obama struck the right pose at the inaugural youth ball when he described his dance with the first lady as "old school."

Some students are boycotting the dance. If they don't sell enough tickets, the dance could get canceled.

Isn't there a dance that's going to corrupt every generation? Wasn't Elvis supposed to corrupt the youth with his indecent hips?

Update on Barack Obama's BlackBerry

There is a new way to measure your status in Washington, D.C. Do you have Barack Obama's new e-mail address for his BlackBerry? A New York Times story about the haves and have-nots may surprise you. Washingtonians have never had a president who used e-mail regularly, so this is a new and different measure. Some people, given the opportunity to brag about being part of Obama's inner sanctum, refused to speak.

President Gets to Keep BlackBerry

Once he got to the White House, President Barack Obama was told he had to give up his BlackBerry, but today the self-confessed BlackBerry addict got the good news. The President will get a super-encrypted version of the smartphone costing $3,350. Apparently the White House is technologically speaking in the dark ages, so Obama will be ecstatic to have a connection to the real world. He had to give up his old e-mail address, but that sounds like a small price to pay.
I am really happy for the President and I am all for transparency in government, but doesn't this information sound like a dare to a hacker?
Wondering if you are (like me) a BlackBerry addict? Don't worry, here is how you self-diagnose yourself. It's the top 10 signs you're addicted to your BlackBerry.
