Calling President Obama

A goal of the (sometimes [week-daily]) Stick was to be your one-stop-shop for anything and everything. I literally hoped you would not go anywhere else on the internet. The fact that anyone has come here makes me feel 1/3 successful, so thanks for that? Unfortunately, though, I have let my few loyal readers down. There has yet to be a politically charged post. However, before I get to this, some important things about blog etiquette.

It is a crucial, crucial part of any blog that the links are clicked. Now, I'm going to only include one link, and we'll work up from there. I don't put them in there for my surprise and enjoyment, they're 100%

1. Foreign Policy

North Korea is the annoying kid in the neighborhood who has rocks and occasionally will throw them at people while they drive down the street. And by rocks, I mean pebbles. This is no issue. Sure, some will get annoyed, and their MIGHT be a ding here and there, but every now and then someone gets out of their car, pays the kid to quit, or hollers at them, and they take a break for a while. It's the cycle and everyone knows it. Oh, and srsly Barry, war? Still? Help a hippie out.

2. The Economy

Lebron James needs complete control of the city of Detroit. The way he has manhandled their hoops team the past week, there is not a single doubt in my mind he can turn GM, Ford, Chrysler, AND guard the Canadian border from all of those people trying to get over here to get our vastly superior healthcare (did I mention cheaper, too?). And, I trust he’ll do fine keeping the casinos in check, and because of his African-American heritage, he’ll have the respect of that segment of the Detriot community as well. Once the cars start selling again, the banks will be next. For that project, maybe, Charles Barkley? I’ll work on that and report back later.

3. The Daily Stick

Okay, I have to be honest, this blog was written simply so I could use that Lebron joke I’ve been sitting on (sort of) for like 4 days.

I encourage you to spread blog around like bailout and stimulus money. And, by that I mean some of you will hand it out and then others will hand it out, and so on, and others (like Warren County, Ohio) will reject it and send it back, while others, like Texas, will threaten to secede. I’m hoping for a higher percentage of the first than the last two. Time will tell.

PS I Tweeted @Pogue (David Pogue, tech editor for NY Times) today asking for an internship. Unfortunately he had JUST filled it. He was sure to note the “JUST” in capital letters. I think he thought my Twitter profile picture was ugly. I’ll have to work on that. Thanks, Dave, for ruining my self-esteem.

(A note to David Pogue—that’s all in there for poops and giggles.)

PPS For those who don't know, the picture is my younger goofball brother, Ben.
