Ripped From the Headlines...

In today's RSS feeds:
CNET News says: Hey Obama: Reboot the music industry!

Seattle Post-Intelligencer: Obama to boldly go where no geek has gone before (Cuz he's a geek, you see. Why, he can even quote Star Trek!)

Seattle Times: Can the first family change U.S. taste in food?

The Christian Science Monitor: A food agenda for Obama

And, of course, Obama is going to ween us off of gasoline, and fossil fuels in general. No word on what he intends to replace them with--ethanol, maybe. Why, look at the great job the Brazilians have done at replacing gasoline! No mention of what plowing the Amazon Rain Forest to be able to plant enough corn to do the job has done to the climate...

And reforming health care! I loved this quote (paraphrased) from the campaign: "You'll keep your current coverage, have your choice of doctors, and we'll go after the insurance companies!" This may be beyond a rich Chicago lawyer to grasp, but with my current coverage, I do not have a choice of doctors, and it is provided by an insurance company, so exactly how is your plan going to be an improvement?

And, by the way, how is "national health care" going to differ from what I had when I was "cared for" by the Veteran's Administration, i.e., an unmitigated disaster?

And, in news I refuse to link to, the press seem to be gaga over photos of a shirtless Obamessiah. Y'know, politicians are used to having paparazzi following them around, but I wonder how Michelle feels when the press acts like an obsessed "other woman"...?

Honestly, I expect the next press conference for the guy--who isn't even president yet, but acts like he is!--to feature a bunch of "journalists" wearing knee pads...
