Well, That Certainly Reeks

...of "hope".

...the White House has assumed "a posture of watchful waiting," adding: "There will be big increases in stimulus spending in the fall and early next year. We have to wait to see what happens with that. If you get to the end of this year or early next year and employment is still limping back, then we have to do some serious thinking about whether there might be special problems in the labor market that require targeted interventions."

But he's already been on the telly this morning, so all is right with the world. It's gotten to be so commonplace that none of us at work ~ including the drycleaning guy doing his rounds ~ can function until the 10 a.m. answer to "Has he been on yet today?" is in the affirmative, "Oh, there he is already!"


Part B of the query consists of "Great. For what this time?" "Healthcare." "Great. Change the f*cking channel before I lose breakfast."

Gaaaaah. Why couldn't they sit back and wait to see what happened BEFORE he bankrupted the Federal Government by spending our kids' money to acquire a whole raft of failing companies?

I can barely stand to listen to him anymore. I much prefer reading a transcript to listening to his hectoring.

Bad news, THS. Obama will not be on until 12:30 Eastern tomorrow. Millions will face the dilemma of "Do I or do I not watch this on a full stomach?"

Tough call.

I'll be at work. Better yet, I'll be out in the field. I'll just avoid places with boob tubes, so I can avoid the boob.

Female fashion models who work with the designers throughout the season are also in the competition. Each week, as the number of designers dwindle, the number of models are also reduced, with one model remaining at the end. Models are randomly pre-assigned to a designer during the first challenge, and from the second challenge onwards, the designers will have an opportunity to pick the model they wish to work with. This usually happens during the start of every episode save for the first, with the winner of the previous challenge receiving first pick, and the other designers picking models in order through host Klum's random draw of large red shirt buttons with their names stored in a black velvet bag. Though, there are times when only the winning designer will be given the choice to pick with the following choices: either keep his or her previous model, take the losing designer's model Project Runway from the last challenge, or switch models with another competing designer
