Obama Offers Things To Kvetch About Before Giving Thanks

Megan Carpentier — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 10:00:00 EST

Since Thanksgiving is all about gratitude — and Spencer Ackerman and I are not exactly grateful types — it's important to get all the bitching we can out of our system before summoning our most beauteous smiles and eating turkey with our families. This morning, we whine about John Forte's stupid lawyer, major hook-ups and pardon, the stupidity of celebrity interviewers, the continuing interest in Sarah Palin's freaking clothes, and why, although Spencer thinks Obama should have announced a Labor Secretary by now, I think everyone else should stop whining that he hasn't.

Remember the news about the new reality show in which Tyra Banks pits a group of young women against one another to compete for a job at a fashion magazine? Well, it looks like the ladymag in question is ELLE and creative director Joe Zee and fashion news director/calorie restrictor Anne Slowey are going to be judges. Having worked with these people, allow me to just say this is going to make for good television. [WWD, 2nd item]

Best Comment of the Day, in response to Iz Tecknology Ruining Yr Relationships? Expert Sez Yes: "I was all fine with technology until my toddler called my Blackberry 'mama.'" We say: wow. It might be time to back away from the 'berry. At least until it learns how to change diapers. • Worst, in response to Powerful Women Should Dress "Feminine But Not Girly, Strong But Not Severe": "But, my bigger concern for Hillary is not the jacket she's wearing, but is it me, or is she getting even more pear shaped? Is she trying to appeal to the middle of the country? But seriously, is she not getting enough opportunity to exercise while campaigning?" We say: Hillary's ass will destroy this country, clearly.

Iz Tecknology Ruining Yr Relationships? Expert Sez Yes

Jessica G. — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 14:30:00 EST

Would you rather text someone than talk to them face to face? Then you might have technology overload, which means you engage in addictive behavior towards technological devices According to John O'Neill, the director of addictions services at the Menninger Clinic, "I think [technology overload] shares some of the same components as people who become addicted to alcohol and drugs in that we start to see that someone cannot really put it down and cannot stop the use of it even when there are some consequences." So what are the symptoms of this life-ruining addiction? O'Neill tells Reuters: "Using text messages, email and voice mail when face-to-face interaction would be more appropriate, or limiting time with friends and family to tend to your email, return phone calls or to surf the Internet." Hmm, by those rubrics, 90% of our friends are incurably-addicted to their sweet, sweet tech. More »
