Slight heresy, last night's press conference--kind of a snoozer!

Maybe the novelty of having a president who answers the question in detail and speaks in coherent sentences is wearing off. Or maybe it's just hard to make the nuts and bolts details of getting the health care legislation passed all that exciting, no matter how desperate and compelling the need for the legislation is

Re: the not particularly funny joke. I laughed a not-joke the other day, and I think it's very much a reaction to raising the spectre of race relations by juxtaposition. It shows up your own prejudices/assumption. It's a jab in the ribs, and the options are laugh or (I think) get defensive. Defensive is the wrong way to go, so laughter it is. Kind of hysterical laughter.

Oh yeah. Lots of nervous laughter.
