I was over at The Hostages where someone posted this video:

to much derision. Now, I confess, I like Sweet or The Sweet. They cleaned up in that video compared to...say...Ballroom Blitz:
They finally ditched the glam look in 1978:
And yeah, Brian Connolley (lead singer) was hot. Was as he died in 1997 due to alcohol-related liver failure at the age of 51. Drummer Mick Tucker died in 2002 of leukemia at age 54. There you have it. A brief look at one of the 70s most interesting groups.

The Obama Diary
1/23/09
Well, today I had to give some reporter the stink eye. How dare they expect me to give them unfettered access. I am not Bush. I AM THE ONE. Everyone says so. If I don't want to answer a question, then I don't have to.
I also ended that whole ban of foreign abortions. Who are we to deny the right to terminate a child overseas, paid for by US taxpayers?
Um...what else did I do today...oh had a chat with Shrilary about that whole, "Smart Power," thing. People are saying it's dumb. I think it sounds friendly. Like the, "Smart Car." It means we will exercise our Gaea given right to rule the world in a smart way by being nice. So we're keeping, "Smart Power."
I also made some phone calls to Aretha Franklin (wife wants the hat), Rick Warren (great speech), and that Jewish guy. He still won't take my calls.

Happy Friday
No, What the Hamster today. Today, I bring you the words of Judy Garland:
I refuse to participate in the doom and gloom now that the Messiah is our leader. I choose to mock him rather than fret. It's much more entertaining.

Dear Diary:
Wow, this president thing is tough. Not at all like community activism. Yesterday, I got a call from that Abba guy. I thought he was the one who wrote Mamma Mia (LOVED IT) but instead it was somebody talking about his people in Gaza. Had to look on the map to see where that was (Israel). Ask him if he knew ABBA cause the daughters want to see them live. He told me to call the Jews and tell them to stop blowing up Gaza.
Called the Jewish guy and told him that blowing up Gaza is part of that whole Bush, "Blow up the bad guys era," that is sooooo last administration and not part of my hope and change administration. He hung up on me. I tried calling him back but his secretary said he was on the golf course and couldn't be reached. Made a note to try the golf course in Tel Aviv.
Then I closed that prison in Cuba where Bush was holding all the "terrorists." Gizmo. No wait, that's the furry little thing in Gremlins...oh, yeah, GITMO. No idea where I'm going to put these guys. Murtha offered to house them in his backyard. He must have a really big backyard. Scored really big points in the polls in Europe and the Middle East.
Then I banned interrogation stuff that the CIA used against these alleged terrorists because it's so not cool. Told them that to get information just be nice to them and promise them free government money and stuff. I found this worked really well in Chicago.
Hilary got confirmed. I can call her Shrilary all I want now and SHE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT 'CAUSE I'M HER BOSS. Hahahaha. Shrilary. I told her we were going to, "forge a new era of American leadership in the world." I have no idea what that means. My speech guy wrote it but it sounds nice.
Well that's all today. I was very busy leading. Maybe I'll have more time to write tomorrow.

Day 1 of the Messiah's Reign
A Recap of the first real day of work for the Messiah. First, the One decided to close Gitmo. What he's going to do with the 200+ terrorists there who would gladly kill us is unknown. Maybe he's hoping for some mutual respect and dialogue or something. Closing the site "would further the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States and the interests of justice," read the draft prepared for the new president's signature. Translation: So we can appease our European friends and Muslim overlords.
Oh and he stiffed some of the White House staff by freezing their pay. That only applies to the ones earning more than $100k. There's 100 White House staff members that earn that. 100. He also scrapped the bill that would have removed the gray wolf from the endangered species list.
Then he had some meetings about war stuff and then a party.
So there you have it. A busy day full of hope and change. Anyone else have this part of The Life of Brian in their head every time we hear about the Messiah?
