The Mormons Baptized Obama’s Mom
May 6th, 2009
In 2008, the Mormon Church baptized President Obama’s mother posthumously. Which didn’t surprise me much. But apparently the baptism was against the Mormon religious code because the dead are only supposed to be baptized when a living, Mormon relative submits them for it. And here I thought they were just baptizing the entire human race [...]

Always fun: The White House Flickr stream. Here’s a picture of the President and Vice President holding hands.
Obama learns from a Bush success

Iran, Negotiations, and Preconditions
November 13th, 2008
Iran has responded to President-elect Obama’s willingness to negotiate without preconditions by adding preconditions to any potential negotiations.
In recent interviews, advisers to Ahmadinejad said the new U.S. administration would have to pull U.S. troops out of Iraq, show respect for Iran's system of rule by a supreme religious leader, and withdraw its objections to Iran's [...]
Presidents (And Near-Presidents) Have Unoriginal Names
November 7th, 2008
Barack Obama and Joe Biden were both named after their fathers. John McCain was named after his father (who was named after his own father). George Bush was (obviously) named after his father. Even Bill Clinton was born William Jefferson Blythe III.
