...Most of the restaurants Obama frequented as a kid have disappeared. The Mr. Burger that he went to after basketball team practices on the corner of Dole and University streets - not far from where his parents met at the University of Hawaii - became a Pizza Hut and is now Robata Grill, a Japanese BBQ joint. Only Grace's Inn, a hot-plate diner full of favorite local dishes like chicken katsu, remains, though it has moved down the street a few blocks. One place Obama is likely to have patronized is Waiola Shave Ice, with the best frozen treat...

That's not satire. There's nothing wrong with it, but it's a different thing...
...That would be a very interesting challenge," Dole said of the Inspector General job. "You could do some good. But be sure you know what you're getting into." I thought I knew what she meant; only later would I fully understand her warning...
