all is quiet on the western front

a couple of days till mr barack h obama takes to the throne of the biggest office on earth. every periodical i pick up these days are abuzz with skeptical musings on whether he will be able to steer the states out of the dismal state it is in today.

it’d be a humongous feat if he could bring forth the change he’s been talking about so far during his campaign, but on the other end of the coin, it’d also be a feat if he were to do worse than the president before him. to fare so badly takes skillz that only an idiot savant can muster.

a few weeks ago, i saw a ladies’ salon advertising a poster with the slogan ‘good riddance to bush’. the fine print made me realize that it was a clever pun. they were promoting a special offer for brazilian waxes.
