Aaron Sorkin Conjures a Meeting of Obama and Bartlet

I am so totally cheating today, but I read this and loved it so much, I’m hoping to get it out to a wider audience.
Besides, Maureen Dowd cheated first — she asked Aaron Sorkin to imagine a meeting between fictional “West Wing” president Jed Bartlet and Presidential hopeful Barack Obama, then published the results as [...]

This is too funny not to share

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler kicked off Saturday Night Live the other night playing Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton. I defy you not to laugh.

WTF, y’all?

Here in Western New York, Labor Day or thereabouts is the beginning of the new year. The new school year, that is.  I always think of it, then, as a good time to embark on new endeavors, so I had planned to launch this blog on September 3rd, when my kids went back to school.
