    • Obama's Start

      Friday, 23 Jan 2009 - 22:43 UTC

      Much has been said about the US’s new president. I thought his inauguration speech was great, and he’s set the bar high. But after listening to him, I had to wend my way home from New York. It was clear from the airport bookshop that not everybody in the US is impressed with their new president:

      Presumably they think he blogs at Nature Network1.

      1 Cliquey? Me? Anyway, the relevant comments are some way down there. Start from Eva’s second comment.

          I really don’t think I understood any of that FriendFeed conversation that you linked, Bob.

          Therefore, I would like the 10 minutes of my life that I spent reading it returned to me, please.

          Too bad teh interwebz don’t work this way. Caveat surfor! – Ed.

          Oh, that’s okay – we’re not really understanding each other in that thread either! But I think that might have been Maxine’s point in the first place. It’s all very confusing.

          Ha, Bob, I just clicked through to Flickr and saw the other photo you took of the comedy DVD’s. Will that get its own blog post?

          Sorry, Kristi. That’s the nature of FriendFeed, I suspect. Sometimes it makes sense at the time.

          Eva – I wasn’t planning on blogging about that photo – I’ve largely avoided using blog to have cheap laughs at creationists. I do that elsewhere.

          Isn’t ‘hope’ a kind of speculative fiction? If so then Bazza should be in the SF and Fantasy shelves rather than chick lit.
