We're moving it up.] Tomorrow night President Obama will address the nation in his first State of the Union (SOTU) address.  Although it feels like this it might be his fourth or fifth SOTU, it truly is his first and comes at a particularly painful [...] read more →

Uncategorized I am thinking about getting out of a long term relationship with my current political party and I am ready to start anew with a hot and truly dominant political party.

From Fat Cat to Pussycat

Uncategorized Obama’s Dec 7th taping of “60 Minutes” aired last night.  He talked about Afghanistan (we’ll know by the end of 2010 whether our new Afghan strategy is working) as well as the economy, jobs, party crashers (bad publicity hounds, bad!), health care and the ills of Wall Street.  I didn’t find much of the interview [...] read more →

Stimulus 2.0: Cash for Caulkers, Tax Cuts for Small Biz

The speech was about what you’d expect: self-congratulations on the stimulus bill and all the fantastic things it’s done, some new ideas on job creation and infrastructure spending (sans price tag, of course) and a plea for more [...] read more →

The Pre-Holiday O-genda

Uncategorized Loyal O-readers:  I am back. A lot has changed on PubliCola during my absence and luckily I have changed too.  Eight weeks on a remote island with only cucumber water to drink and rice crackers to eat and Tyra Banks’ enormous forehead to ponder changes a “man.” PubliCola is more refined and, luckily for you, [...] read more →

Off the Grid

Uncategorized Loyal OMG readers, I must apologize for completely going off the grid for the last few weeks.  See, I am on a remote island with a bunch of other supermodels— we’re doing a photo shoot for Noxzema. It’s pretty intense. That megalomaniac, Tyra Banks, is here. God, I can’t stand her. All she does all day is run [...] read more →

Jones v McChrystal

Uncategorized There is an interesting internal O-battle going on regarding Afghanistan.  And by interesting, I mean, only interesting to people who follow foreign affairs.  I don’t because I am a supermodel, and I really only care about how hot I look in this season’s swimwear and whether or not that bitch Tyra Banks is getting more [...] read more →

Fact Checking

Uncategorized There’s so much to cover from last night’s boner-inducing O-speech. Where to start? Before we launch, let’s address the South Carolina elephant in the room.  What is going on with South Carolina?  Do they put fluoride in the water there or do they opt for psychedelics instead?

Obama Is the New J Lo

Uncategorized Remember Jennifer Lopez?  Seems like a lifetime ago when she was at the top of her game.  She was red hot and we couldn’t get enough of that delicious ba-donka-donk.  We ate her up whether she shimmied on stage, charmed us in romantic comedies or stunned us at award shows.  “More J. Lo!  More Juicy [...] read more →

Yikes. Those are HillaryCare Numbers.

Uncategorized Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) Health care is surely to be on the minds of legislators as Congress re-convenes on Sept 8th. With the passing of Senator Ted Kennedy, an universal health care champion, Senators are likely to feel somewhat re-invigorated to fight Ted’s fight in his absence.  That is, the Democratic Senators will. The Republican [...] read more →
