Another comedian, Donald Glover, told Tina Brown's Daily Beast that Obama's speech sounds like a cross between Laurence Olivier and Elvis Presley. (See pictures of Barack Obama's family tree...

...holiday-themed applications for the iPhone - scores of them. There are, for instance, various gift-buying apps that range from Better Christmas List ($2.99), which tracks your budget (and recently added a "much-requested passcode lock option") to Hanukah Holiday List ($1.99), which is made by the same dude and does exactly the same thing (but costs, inexplicably, a buck less).
