Obama Tattoos?? Give me a break!

Can you believe people are putting Obama tats on their bodies? I voted for him, but I think that is going a tad far. 25% of Americans have tats, including yours truly, but this is bordering on the ridiculous.

Also, in about 7 years from now, you can expect to see in kindergarten and first grade a flock of kids named: Barrack Hussein Obama What-Ever-Their-Last-Name-Is.

Lets see what he does before we start groveling at his feet, folks. (Where is my soapbox?)

Obama and Biden Following in my Footsteps?

Well, I think the jury is still out on the new administration. I will, however, have to give them an A+ on their taste in hamburgers.



.
Yesterday they skipped lunch at the White House and went to Ray's Hell Burger in Arlington, VA.

I've eaten hamburgers there, and I will have to say that I don't think I've ever had a better one.

The menu is limited to a few small chalkboards. One breaks down the burger choices: You can order the patties simply grilled, with a chipotle-spiked “diablo” marinade, blackened Cajun-style, or au poivre with a black-peppercorn crust. Then specify how long you’d like your burger to sit on the grill: “recommended” (with a warm red center), medium (pink), or “cooked throughout.”

If you're ever on Wilson Blvd in Arlington, I highly recommend you try Ray's Hell Burgers.

Not a Messiah, Not a Saviour. Simply our new President.

Many people seem to think that our new president is either a Messiah or a Saviour.

I certainly hope they are not too disappointed when they find out he is neither.

I will be happy if he is able to accomplish a significant part of what he appears to have promised to do, and can get our economy to begin to get on the right track, and get us out of these futile wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The Chief Justice may have his doubts...he stumbled over the oath when he was administering it to the new president.



Katie Couric said today that my wife's acquaintance, Joe Biden, was the president for a few minutes. Biden was sworn in as vice-president shortly before noon. President Bush's job ended, by law, at noon. President Obama was not sworn in until several minutes after noon. Seems to me that Biden may have been president for a few minutes. (Where is Alexander Haig when we need him)
