I actually just wanted to have two postings in a row with presidential titles.

I managed to complete my homework last night. Except for one problem, which I frantically scribbled my way through during breakfast. "I should have finished this last night instead of going to bed," I muttered angrily.

That comment caused Drew to give me a sarcastic "Well sorry!" and storm off to the shower. "Why are you sorry," I asked. But I knew he was pissed because he was the one who had insisted I go to bed at 1am when I couldn't figure that problem out. Oh the petty little games I play. Damn him for paying such close attention to my every word!

We watched a fascinating PBS special on Eleanor Roosevelt last night (thus the entry title). It's pretty amazing that she was First Lady seventy years ago, and in 2006 we have a president who proudly talks about his wife like this:

"I find [Laura] to be the perfect wife of a governor," George W. Bush told the Dallas Morning News in 1995. "Instead of trying to butt in and always, you know, compete. There's nothing worse in the political arena than spouses competing for public accolades or the limelight."

MOTHERFUCKER! I'M SURELY GIVING MYSELF CANCER AS I TYPE THIS BUT I CAN'T HELP BUT INDULGE MYSELF IN THESE FEELINGS OF PURE WHITE-HOT HATRED FOR YOU AND YOUR STUPID FUCKING FAUX-TEXAN MANLY MAN BULLSHIT!

On an unrelated and decidedly less interesting topic, I got an iPod Nano today with a small collection of gift cards I've been saving up. And while I had resisted the iPod for a long time, assuming that I understood the technology and didn't have much use for it, I must admit that I stand corrected. Because I just found out that I can subscribe to podcasts of Le Show. FREE OF CHARGE.
