The White House blog is kind of lame.

I added www.whitehouse.gov/blog to google reader thinking that it would be something of interest to me. You know, a way for me to get involved and know what's going on and all that jazz. Well, it seems that I'm beginning to regret my decision. Whoever is in charge of keeping tabs on the blog is not familiar with the "blog-o-sphere". He/she posts nearly the same thing four or five times a day. Today's topic is the "middle class" and how Joe Biden is going to save us all. Yesterday's was "Lilly Ledbetter" and "female power!" (i.e. they mentioned Hilary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi).

I mean, come on people, blogging rule #1, don't effing repeat yourself in entry after entry. After you've seen it, it is old news. Sure, people are stupid (Wizard's First Rule), but we're not that stupid. In conclusion, (I'm talking to ye who runs the White House Blog) stop posting the same effing thing more than once. We heard you the first time (and then the third and fourth and fifth time when the media repeats it). You don't need to add to the insanity. I promise. We get it.

Thank you.

Honesty Time

 

This is my doggy and me. That was honest. I just realized I could blog photos directly from picasa, so I'm taking advantage of it. That was also honest.

 

I like this picture for some reason.

If anyone wants to buy me a present...

...this would be perfect! I found this online today after my professor didn't show up for our meeting.
