People joked that Obama getting elected would be the end of comedy. Well, David Rees HAS ended his unique “Get Your War On” webcomic.

A moment of silence, please, for this hilarious ray of sanity during the neocon era.

Here’s an e-card that sums things up nicely …

From this week’s New Yorker…from 1996. In the Obamas’ relationship, it seems, every day is like the first 100.

Barack on Michelle:

…And then what sustains our relationship is I’m extremely happy with her, and part of it has to do with the fact that she is at once completely familiar to me, so that I can be myself and she knows me very well and I trust her completely, but at the same time she is also a complete mystery to me in some ways. And there are times when we are lying in bed and I look over and sort of have a start. Because I realize here is this other person who is separate and different and has different memories and backgrounds and thoughts and feelings. It’s that tension between familiarity and mystery that makes for something strong, because, even as you build a life of trust and comfort and mutual support, you retain some sense of surprise or wonder about the other person.

Carrie ditches her hits to perform the concert show-stopper, I Know You Won’t, at last night’s People’s Choice Awards. Waiting by the phone never sounded so good! (After a nervous start.)

Repetitive? Sure. But so is misery.

A “power pocketbook” as some kind of superhero accessory, maybe. This, I think, is not that.

Dear XXXX,

I wanted to let you know I am working with ReBelle Friendship Bags, a line of handbags that strive to empower tween girls to believe in themselves and their friendships, regardless of the challenges they face. It’s the only handbag collection available exclusively to tweens and promotes multi-cultural cohesion and young female empowerment.

The detachable handbags come with a zipper down the middle so you can share the matching bag with your best friend. The bags come in special themes and accompany the ReBelle Story of six girls from places around the world that meet at summer camp and become pen pals.

Daisy Cook, the founder of ReBelle Friendship Bags, just launched the line to help reverse the negative impact the media and internet have on young girls. The bags are sold at http://friendshipbags.com/ and in stores and online at FAO Schwarz, www.FAO.com . Please contact me with any questions or to obtain hi-res images.

Best,

XXXX

Hey, girls!

Here’s where you can find your dreams of being an astronaut prince!

And your skeevy virginity symbolism!

 Hmm! Maybe a ticket to this is what you should send your ex.
