A pungent mix of programming, philosophy, pedanticism, procrastination, perplexity, peripheral political polemic, and platters of preposterousness.

You know what is going to destroy all of those hard-won Christo-American freedoms? The First Lady baring her arms! Quick, someone get Focus on the Family to come and focus on the arms! How will the young cope with seeing a woman bare her arms? It’s just unthinkable! (Source)

President Obama attends basketball game, drinks beer. So, you are the most powerful man on earth, and you have a busy week figuring out how to untangle the large number of messy and complex problems that end up in your inbox - fixing a failing economy, trying to get out of a couple of sticky military engagements, prevent yet more people losing their jobs and homes, rebuild and repair crumbling national infrastructure and restore the standing of the United States in the view of a sceptical world. Clue to the clueless: you elected a human being as a President. Hold him to human being standards, not to saint standards. Human being standards dictate that even if you are the most powerful man in the world, going to a game and drinking a beer is not a fucking sin. I expect the same people who are happy to give President Obama shit for drinking a beer had no problem with Bush taking most of his first year off to screw around on his ranch in Texas.
