OMG! Obama

I am thinking about getting out of a long term relationship with my current political party and I am ready to start anew with a hot and truly dominant political party. Please no smokers. I know it’s against protocol to talk about your past relationships while seeking new ones, but it might help my suitors to know [...]

Obama’s Dec 7th taping of “60 Minutes” aired last night.  He talked about Afghanistan (we’ll know by the end of 2010 whether our new Afghan strategy is working) as well as the economy, jobs, party crashers (bad publicity hounds, bad!), health care and the ills of Wall Street.  I didn’t find much of the interview [...]

If you’re like me, you really struggle with holiday gifts—mixing a blend of creative with thoughtful.  Well, we here at Publicola have just the solution: Fun, political T-shirts! Luckily, I received a tip about a website that sells customized Obama T-shirts. These can be good for your liberal friends and your conservative relatives as well [...]

Obama was at the Brookings Institution today to deliver his speech on the state of the economy. The speech was about what you’d expect: self-congratulations on the stimulus bill and all the fantastic things it’s done, some new ideas on job creation and infrastructure spending (sans price tag, of course) and a plea for more [...]

Loyal O-readers:  I am back. A lot has changed on PubliCola during my absence and luckily I have changed too.  Eight weeks on a remote island with only cucumber water to drink and rice crackers to eat and Tyra Banks’ enormous forehead to ponder changes a “man.” PubliCola is more refined and, luckily for you, [...]

Loyal OMG readers, I must apologize for completely going off the grid for the last few weeks.  See, I am on a remote island with a bunch of other supermodels— we’re doing a photo shoot for Noxzema. It’s pretty intense. That megalomaniac, Tyra Banks, is here. God, I can’t stand her. All she does all day is run [...]

There is an interesting internal O-battle going on regarding Afghanistan.  And by interesting, I mean, only interesting to people who follow foreign affairs.  I don’t because I am a supermodel, and I really only care about how hot I look in this season’s swimwear and whether or not that bitch Tyra Banks is getting more [...]

The House formally admonished Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) for his outburst last week during President O’s Joint Congressional speech. The resolution of disapproval was a simple, one sentence statement, introduced by Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD), and states: “that the House of Representatives disapproves of the behavior of the Representative from South Carolina, Mr. Wilson, during [...]

There’s so much to cover from last night’s boner-inducing O-speech. Where to start? Before we launch, let’s address the South Carolina elephant in the room.  What is going on with South Carolina?  Do they put fluoride in the water there or do they opt for psychedelics instead? Maybe it’s growing up in a state where [...]

Remember Jennifer Lopez?  Seems like a lifetime ago when she was at the top of her game.  She was red hot and we couldn’t get enough of that delicious ba-donka-donk.  We ate her up whether she shimmied on stage, charmed us in romantic comedies or stunned us at award shows.  “More J. Lo!  More Juicy [...]

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) Health care is surely to be on the minds of legislators as Congress re-convenes on Sept 8th. With the passing of Senator Ted Kennedy, an universal health care champion, Senators are likely to feel somewhat re-invigorated to fight Ted’s fight in his absence.  That is, the Democratic Senators will. The Republican [...]

As I complained last week, it seemed like Obama’s 13 million-person email network wasn’t mobilizing around health care, climate change or anything for that matter.  It was particularly discouraging to see that (up to that point) the only major organized effort to combat some of the lies and misconceptions about our health care system was [...]

Lil’ Kim and I just got off the phone and we had a very long discussion about Michelle Obama.  What is Michelle’s problem?  Is she trying to make every Puritan head explode in America?  First she exposes her arms and sparks a national hysteria for sleeveless dresses.  Then she touches Queen Elizabeth.  On her back.  [...]
