I can't even get around to posting to this thing yearly  *shrug*

Since this is an election year I'll toss out a good read that hit the news recently.

Not sure if I have anyone reading this that isn't already an Obama fanboi, but if you haven't read the Vanity Fair piece on him by Michael Lewis (author of Moneyball), it's a very good read. From listening to the Michael Lewis NPR interview about this story, he basically sent a long shot request to Obama's communication adviser (I might have the adviser wrong, but you get the idea) to do an embedded interview over and extended period with the President to give people an idea of what it means to be the President.

Obama's team was against it, but by chance, this adviser and the President both liked the idea.  Great insight into "44" if you can find the time.
