However, there is one problem.  Everyone you know is celebrating and gone and you have to struggle to find something to do. Well, not exactly struggle – because you are unstressed and able to watch everyone ... http://twoliablog.com/correctly-impolitic/2008/11/28/still-not-lonely/ Let’s be honest, (maybe a radical change for some of us), you can’t have it both ways. This is a reference to the ongoing conversation about the new Obama political appointments. Here’s the dichotomy: Although this may turn out to be a somewhat bipartisan Administration, the reality is that the new ... http://twoliablog.com/correctly-impolitic/2008/11/24/you-cant-have-it-both-ways-2/ As is often the case, we celebrated a major holiday on a day that was not actually the holiday. This started a few years ago when Jordan wasn’t going to be available for the day of whatever celebration—I think it may have been Hannukah. Hannukah has always been a ... http://twoliablog.com/correctly-impolitic/2008/11/22/giving-thanks/ The question of the day for the pundits seems to be; If Obama doesn’t expressly say, “I can’t do everything at once so lower your expectations” will people be disappointed in his ability to make change the first week out.  Boy, are they stupid.

Well, ... http://twoliablog.com/correctly-impolitic/2008/11/15/which-would-you-chose/ On October 6, 2007, my new friend, The Amazing Kreskin, predicted that Barack Obama would be the next President of the United States. He revealed the prediction, which had been on display in a sealed strong box, on November 6.  Joey Reynolds, a renowned talk show host in NY, had ... http://twoliablog.com/correctly-impolitic/2008/11/11/its-amazing/ The election is over. The Democrats are back in charge –whatever that means. John McCain gave a terrific gracious speech. (It was the old McCain back at last. Hopefully for good.) When Jordan got up this morning she said the best thing about waking was that ... http://twoliablog.com/correctly-impolitic/2008/11/08/147/ On this, election day, my mind turns to all those years when I criss-crossed the country with one candidate or another. It was stress producing, challenging, hard work but it had it’s rewards and often, much. Fun, of course, is how you define it.  Like it was fun for the ... http://twoliablog.com/correctly-impolitic/2008/11/04/criss-crossing/ Is it possible that the John McCain we saw on Saturday Night Live is the real McCain? The one we liked in 2000 or even at the beginning of this election cycle. I mean, he was hilarious. Good humored, able to make fun of himself and his campaign, ... http://twoliablog.com/correctly-impolitic/2008/11/02/make-up-your-mind-sen-mccain/ Enough already! Up until about a week ago I awoke everyday yearning to hear what was happening with the Presidential election. But enough is enough.  Maybe my yearning to be free from all the commercials started after the Obama Infomercial.  It was great TV.
