Garrison Keillor: America the cool
“The world expects us to elect pompous yahoos and instead we have us a 47-year-old prince from the prairie who cheerfully ran the race, and when his opponents threw sand at him, he just smiled back. He’ll be the first president in history to look really good making a jump shot. He loves his classy wife and his sweet little daughters. He looks good in the kitchen. He can cook Indian or Chinese but for his girls he will do mac and cheese. At the same time, he knows pop music, American lit and constitutional law. I just can’t imagine anybody cooler.”

It’s a haiku.
All I want to be
Is someone that makes new things
And thinks about themMan, I sure do like that, and I sure do want that same thing.

Confashional Call-In
A new project we’re incubating — if you’re into fashion and style, check this out.
WhatIWore:
Want fashion to be more interactive? Here’s your chance. The ladies over at Confashional are asking you to call in and declare what should America’s next First Lady be wearing in the White House (she’s so damn chic!). Give ‘em a buzz and let ‘em know what you think. I’ll link you up when the best messages are all in.
My opinion? Michelle Obama is the 21st century’s Jackie O. Likely to be a style icon. ;)
