Only 35 Days Left!

In these waning days of the Reign of Error I admit I have found myself a bit nostalgic, concerned that I'm going to miss the old guy. Sure, he wasn't perfect and his handling of the media could use a little work but still, he gave us some good years.

I would have traded Oscar for his Senate seat.

The New Cabinet!

Thanks to Gus who sent me this New Yorker cover of Obama vetting his new Cabinet!
