there was a young woman from boobville ...

But now it's back! And I have three things that make me happy right now:

1. President Barack Obama's first public act in office Wednesday was to institute new limits on lobbyists in his White House and to freeze the salaries of high-paid aides, in a nod to the country's economic turmoil.

2. In one of his first acts in office, President Obama has ordered the U.S. government to suspend prosecutions of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay for 120 days, military officials said Tuesday.

3. White House officials tell CNN Obama Chief Staff of Staff Rahm Emanuel sent a memo Tuesday to all agencies and departments of the federal government. The memo halts further consideration of pending regulations throughout the government until a legal and policy review can be conducted by the Obama administration.

First day and they're so busy gettin' their White House on they haven't even gotten the president a computer:



Awwwww. Look at his poor empty desk. :)

(Does anybody have the link to that site where they're keeping track of all the promises Obama made on the campaign trail and if he's fulfilling them? I forget to bookmark it and I want to keep it around.) (EDIT: Never mind! Found it!)

A few things --

1. I signed up for spn_j2_bigbang. As per usual, I'm writing RPS. Hopefully, I can finish on time this year.
2. I'm still working on GPW and my next novel idea. Both are coming along. Not quickly, but they're coming.
3. I am currently listening to the Renaissance music channel on AOL Radio. I'm definitely not intellectual enough for this.
4. I'm hungry. Somebody come to my house and make me a sammich.
5. I have to straighten up before my dad and the landlord show up tonight to swap out the dryers. Which they were supposed to do the other night and didn't, and now they're doing it tonight. Urgh.
6. I haven't showered yet. I should probably get on that.

EDIT: Special Ops: How to move two presidents in six hours. A few "make your own Bush joke here" quotes ...

-- Books on the Oval Office shelves will be changed per the new commander in chief ...
-- Following tradition, Bush is expected to leave a personal letter written to Obama.

There's also a comment at the end about how Bush doesn't want his staffers playing any practical jokes on the incoming administration because relations have been so cordial between them, which ... on one hand, that's a nice gesture, but on the other hand, I'm disappointed in Bush. If there's one thing you'd think he'd jump at the chance to do, it's play a practical joke on someone, and I'm pretty sure Obama could handle it.

Then again, Rahm IS the chief of staff. Bush would never see the retaliation coming. Heh.

I think Rahm Emanuel has my new favorite Dickipedia entry.

People started noticing that Emanuel was not just dickish, he was dickish like a fox.
