'Wheel of Fortune' host Pat Sajak on Obamacare, Frank Rich, and Post-Racial America

image thumbnail - see full story for attributions
Oh Pat. You're so brave to write an editorial rebutting Frank Rich's denunciation of Obamacare naysayers, whom Rich points out are predominantly white male bigots (not in so few words). Pat Sajak has long been a poster boy for wholesome, conservative America, so in one sense it's pleasing to see him [...]

In response to How much of what Politico does is really journalism?
  • My point is that most "narratives" are essentially political lines of attack, nothing more. If you don't evaluate their substance or place them in context (other than, "this is what the White House [...]read » T/S JOHN MCQUAID

How much of what Politico does is really journalism?

We all know the Washington media swims in an ever-shifting stream of "narratives" that drive coverage in one direction or another on an hourly basis - or, if one really has juice, can dominate coverage for months and months. Unfortunately, these narratives usually have only a tenuous connection to reality, [...]

The Obamas' surprising nod to Impressionism

image thumbnail - see full story for attributions
So the Obamas are changing up the art in the White House. And what do their choices say about them? The Wall Street Journal's well-reported story points out that they made some early picks— Jasper Johns (several pieces from his numerals series), a Diebenkorn, and an Edward Ruscha — from the National Gallery. All [...]

In 100 days, politics is fun again

image thumbnail - see full story for attributions
Bailouts, credit crunch, plague. Whatever. The Obamas have brought a human element back to politics. They host cocktail parties, fill out NCAA brackets, and dig kitchen gardens. And at this point in his tenure, the balance of work and play is welcome. It all looks optimistic — and, in the case [...]

Politics has never, ever, been this stylish. As Michelle Obama and Carla Bruni stood together at official ceremonies in France today, they looked so elegant that they are bound to launch a trend: Prepare to see more  floppy-bow necklines around town in about 5 minutes. The Daily News has a fantastic slideshow [...]

What's Michelle Wearing? Thakoon and Kors

Looks like Chanel, but it's not. 
The coat is a completely off-collection piece created custom by Thakoon Panichgul for the First Lady. While it looks like tweed, it’s actually a silk tulle that’s been flocked to resemble the classic fabric, following in the designer’s penchant for witty, trompe l’oeil [...]
