wrong color Hillary

Happy belated b-day Obama!

It was on Monday so I am a few days late (even though I knew about it then, just no time to blog). In any case, I found the Republican National Committee's birthday present quite pathetic, and frankly tasteless (tire gauges to mock Obama's assertion that properly inflated tires saves gas, which IT DOES, you idiot pickup truck and HUMMER-driving Republicans). It seems obvious that they are more about practical jokes (ok it was kind of funny), than smart policy wonkiness.





To boot, I like Paris Hilton's campaign video and I hate her... It just shows how idiotic McCain's PR people can be.

Back to French gossip

So you probably know that Carla Bruni made it to the cover of Vanity Fair and most Americans probably reacted in an expected way- who is she? and why is she on the cover? well yes, they did and all critics were up in arms about her comparison to Jackie O - her gracefulness cannot be compared to the 21st century "sleep with money or power" Carla. If I am not mistaken, I think she beat Michelle (Obama) to a cover of VF?



Here are some articles I enjoyed on this subject:
- Radar magazine: Carla is a snore.
- Nothing like a matching outfit (of this is a photo, but related to the story)
- Huffington Post
- The Times (UK)

Apparently if Carla's transformation is possible, maybe so is Cindy McCain's?

Fish manicure

I want one of these - my feet being in Paris means that they suffer most than most women's feet (walking around for hours in nice looking shoes on uneven cobblestone, as an example). Just give me a fish manicure when I am in the water in an island in the Indian Ocean... not in Alexandria, VA!
