Barack Obama 'too tired' to give proper welcome to Gordon Brown
Barack Obama's offhand approach to Gordon Brown's Washington visit last week came about because the president was facing exhaustion over America's economic crisis and is unable to focus on foreign affairs, the Sunday Telegraph has been told.

Sources close to the White House say Mr Obama and his staff have been "overwhelmed" by the economic meltdown and have voiced concerns that the new president is not getting enough rest.

Kobe Bryant is always talking about how no one wants to win more than him, about how all his angst and acrimony comes out of an unparalleled devotion to victory. Well, three years ago, he had a chance to make it so the Los Angeles Lakers wouldn't have to choose between paying Shaquille O'Neal or paying him to keep the championship core together.

If Tim Gunn is trying to get press for the his new show on Bravo it’s working. He’s been giving his snarky opinion on the celebrities’ fashion sense and he’s rather open and blunt about it. He seems to be judging their personalities and saying it reflects on the way they dress, and he’s partially right and partially projecting his subjective opinion about a person on the way he judges their personal style.

Don't Worry, Be Happy
Obama gives the markets the back of his hand.
by William Kristol
So the stock market drops over 25 percent since Election Day, almost 20 percent since Inauguration--and Barack Obama tells the American people at his press conference Tuesday not to "spend all your time worrying about that":
What I'm looking at is not the day-to-day gyrations of the stock market, but the long-term ability for the United States and the entire world economy to regain its footing. And, you know, the stock market is sort of like a tracking poll in politics.
