We should have learned our lesson, that when we veer into realms political, bad things happen. Then again, we should also have learned not to stick forks in power sockets but we just can’t stop. Still, this is firmly rooted in the “human interest” section, so we ask you please to bear with us.
Newsweek’s got a big profile up on Michelle Obama, wife of presidential candidate John McCain—man, how ironic is that? She’s got the same name as his—oh, wait, never mind. Wife of Barack Obama. Right. Anyway, according to Newsweek, Senator Obama spends so much time on the road that his children have apparently forgotten what he looks like and now think that he is, in fact, John McCain. In order to alleviate the problem, the Obamas have turned to the miracles of technology:
To help bridge the physical distance between father and daughters, Michelle recently bought two MacBook laptops, one for Barack and one for the kids, so they could have video chats over the Internet.Awww, that is so sweet. They must have hours of fun with those iChat effects (we hear that the “rollercoaster” backdrop is among the senator’s personal favorites).
This is definitely something to keep in mind for the forthcoming election: When the iChat screen-sharing request bleeps at 3AM, who would you want to answer it?

"On the road--on the road again"
Damn, your CD has a scratch.
