...food TV and porn: Today's camera angles, lighting, colors and sounds are a world away from [90's TV chef] David Rosengarten's information-filled but unmoist monologues, delivered from a wobbly, faux- kitchen set. Though the recipes might often be the same then as now, presentation trumps content. Add that to the sexy hosts and kitchens, close-ups of food, fingers and lips, Emeril's 'oh yeah babe,' groans of pleasure from the hosts and the aroused audience, and its tough to argue against the analogy...

...mentality the administration continues to harbor. Since his election, for instance, Obama has delivered a significant number of speeches in swing states where he will need to retain votes in 2012. That the 2012 campaign is already on his mind suggests more of a desire for power than real, content-based change. Instead of focusing his undivided attention on the challenges currently facing our nation’s citizens, Obama seems to be focused on potential political scandals over his cabinet appointments and difficulties in maintaining Republican support on his bailout plan. With his focus and resources divided in this...
