Did someone say 100 days?

[elisi]

Didn't know whether to make a post, but then came across The Onion's First 100 Days and almost died laughing. (DAY 34: During a difficult moment of a televised address, President Obama debuts the evil-looking sock puppet that will speak on all unpopular matters from now on.)

And then I thought, 'What the heck, let's add a few more links!' so here you go... (Under cut to spare your flist)

Andrew Sullivan liveblogged during the presser. Short and to the point! ;)

The Obama Way. A conversation between Ta-Nehisi Coates & Andrew Sullivan.

NYT interview with Obama.

Nudge-ocracy, Barack Obama's new theory of the state (by The New Republic). A quote to (maybe?) reassure my Republican friends: As a theory of government, this approach has much to recommend it. It's resolutely liberal in its ends, ambitious in its means, but also respectful of individual freedom. It is, in other words, a government that is activist but distinctly *not* socialist.

Anyway, I have plenty of housework & fic-writing to get done. Stupid politics.
