Daily Polichicks - Friday

Happy New Year!

Sorry we haven't been around much.  We've been swamped with holiday stuff and what not.  We kept meaning to write each day this week, and now here it is Friday!  

Aye yie yie yie.  Where did the week go?

Anyway, here we are, back to the surf the web for news, so you'll be spared the task. So without further ado, here's your Daily Polichicks:

* Looks like another cat rolled up into the White House for a free meal.  We just might swing by there for some munchies ourselves.  Hey Barack, what's in the fridge? [Politico]

* In case you're ever invited to the White House (or not), here are 8 secrets to being the life of the party. Getting totally sloshed and loudly telling knock knock jokes the Secret Service is not one of them.  [Cosmopolitan]

* RNC Chairman Michale Steele says the GOP can't win back it's majority in Congress in 2010. "Shut your pie hole," respond GOP aides. (That's not an exact quote, but whatever.)

* Politico profiled 10 smart and savvy young women who are making an impact on the DC social scene and charity circuit:  Andrea Rodgers, Pamela Sorenson, Kate Michael, Katherine Kennedy, Angie Goff, Courtney Caldwell, Kelly Ann Collins, Anna Kimsey,  Ashley Taylor, and Amanda Polk. Good stuff.  Cheers to each of them!

Oh, by the way, our capital city is fabulously diverse (55% African American, 36% white, 8% Latino, 4% Asian and so forth). You can't tell from the Politico article, but the DC social scene reflects that diversity, as there are women of all backgrounds in all communities hosting events and making charitable contributions in the District.  DC is full of fabulistas!

* Today Anartica is hotter than Texas.  Wait.  What? [Houston Chronicle]

* And this is also hotter than Texas.

* Alright, alright.  We'll include more "real news." Healthcare reform drama continues, as House democrats strategize  on how to compromise with the Senate to come up with a final bill.    "...Merely to rubber-stamp what the Senate does is not enough," said Rep. Raul M. Grijalva (D-AZ). [The Washington Post]

* U.S. agencies knew a whole lot stuff about the underwear bomber's terrorist intentions, but failed to do anything about it, causing President Obama it interrupt the Oprah Show Thursday to yap make a speech about it, making us miss learning about how women in live in Brazil. [LA Times]

That's all.  By everybody!
