• Reporter Bound for D.C. Seeks Gotcha Questions, Ball Gown, Proper Footwear

  When I was a wee college student at FSU, my best friend and I decided to road-trip to DC for President Clinton's inauguration.  There we were, two unprepared, underdressed 18-year-olds waiting for hours upon hours in the freezing cold for little more than a nanosecond's glance at a speeding limo.  Still, the trip was awesome --  we stalked our celebrity crush, Peter Jennings; I got interviewed by a New York Times reporter (I remember looking forward to Chelsea causing havoc/sneaki

  Should we be worrying, ya'll? Economy is going to shit. Let's hope Obama fixes things soon after he gives Bush the boot from the White House next week. Until then, there shall be more drinking and partying to forget we are on the verge of going broke.Here is what you'll want to check out this weekend:Spank Rock DJ XXXChange will be spinning at PS14 for its Happy House party tonight. As we said yesterday, XXXChange is the man largely responsible for the hipster-hop sound that's quickly becoming

• Talking With Chuck D About Obama

  Image via www.myspace.com/chuckdpublicenemyThere are few rap songs as important to modern culture as Public Enemy's "Fight the Power," a rallying cry against political indifference. Well, it's been 20 years since PE's frontman Chuck D helped scare the hell out of white America, and a black man now sits in the Oval Office thanks in large part to record black turnout last November. "We had numbers [on our side] this time," Chuck says of the election, a few days before Obama's inauguration. (His o

• Does Michelle Obama Have "Thick Rhinoceros Skin"?

  Just before the 2000 presidential election, Robert Watson, associate professor of American studies at Lynn University in Boca Raton, decided to rally his fellow presidential scholars and collaborate on The Report to the First Lady, a 200-page book of advice for the incoming woman in the White House. One expert wrote a chapter on how to hire the best staff; another one --  from the National Archives -- explained how she should organize her files.   Watson has updated the report eve

• Waste Reduction a Red-hot Political Trend

  With Americans stressing about the economy, politicians at every level are either skimping on the usual luxuries that come with elected office, or pillorying their rivals for failing to do so. But mostly, they're trying to do both.The Obama administration, which staged a bargain basement inauguration, has come dangerously close to creating a lynch mob in its outrage over the bonuses handed out by taxpayer-rescued AIG. Congressional Republicans have been trying to out-outrage Obama and pin the bl

• In Hallandale, National Review Writer Finds Liberals to Lampoon

  Doesn't really look like Obama, but he smiles. And he's black(ish).After eight years of watching Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert and Michael Moore crack wise over the dunderheadedness of a Republican president, the arrival of a Democrat in the Oval Office means the Republican humorists get their turn.But this campaign got off to a rocky, racist start. There was the Rush Limbaugh-approved Barack the Magic Negro, which had all the subtlety of a minstrel show. Our state of Florida made a few embarrass

  Flickr user: fyunkieSure, President Obama's ears are big, but he's got a helluva lot of people competing for their attention. If you have a message you hope will make its way to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., your best bet may be to attend Monday's "Listening Tour" stop in Plantation.  The prez himself won't be there, but staff members of Organizing for America (an extension of his presidential campaign) will be. Hot topics include health care, gay rights, and Supreme Court nominee Sandra Sotomayo

  ​Congressman Alcee L. Hastings (D-Miramar) tried to help gays in the military, but says he has been forced to back off "due to pressure from some of my Congressional colleagues and from the White House." Yesterday, he withdrew his proposed amendment to H.R. 3326, the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2010. The measure would have prohibited the use of funds to carry out the provisions in Don't Ask, Don't Tell.  It would have taken away the money to investigate and dismiss soldiers

They wrote a letter to Congress and the White House boasting of how their Pompano Beach-based company has turned a recession into a windfall. Now they're offering to turn the same trick for the feds.
