Catch of the Day

Here's one for Jaime Fuller, who tells us about "The Inside the Beltway Center for Presidents Who Can't Lead Good." It's a great item, chock full of links to all the totally excellent advice that pundits have been giving Barack Obama, everything from "stop golfing" to "grow a beard."

That last one was probably not fair; I'm pretty sure Alex Seitz-Wald didn't really think it would solve Obama's problems, much less the nation's. But the rest? Fair game!

Okay, I don't really have more to say about this; I just really enjoyed the list and the title (I should also probably note that Fuller is my editor these days over at TAP, but that doesn't have anything to do with this CotD! All of you finalists who lost out? Yours just wasn't Catchy enough). Hey, it's something of a holiday today, so why not enjoy a fun one.

And of course: nice catch!

  1. Being of fairly poor social standing, I of course clicked on the link with the profanity, in which Samuel L. Jackson notes that the president should be more formal, like Jackson, who exemplifies formality when he "fucking conjugates".

    It certainly is an interesting tidbit of advice, though one wonders if Obama, in considering such advice, doesn't reflect on the fact that with these Socialist Internationalist Elitist Kenyan Conspirators, "fucking conjugating" is precisely the problem.

    1. Is Jackson careful to use 'who' only in the fucking subjective case?

  2. Jaime Fuller is not only your editor, she's a Twitter genius -- mistress of the enticing speak-entirely-for-itself quote + link.

  3. He could grow a beard for no-shave November.

  4. The advice has been 'offered this week'. I clicked two links and found columns from 2011 and 2012, discussing the 2012 election.

  5. I cannot condone the title of the advice piece until it adds "and who wanna learn to do other stuff good too"
