Stars are frequent targets for Begay, 25, who has also illustrated several of Tiger Woods' leaked text messages to his mistresses. "Celebrities are people that the general population strives to be," she says. "They're supposed to live these fantasy lives and be doing all the stuff we wish we could be doing." So when Nick Jonas tweets that he had an "exciting day," it must be exciting enough to involve a jet pack, a pony and a bucket of money, right...
...hired Graham Beal, who formerly headed the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, to serve as its CEO. He arrived just as the DIA was set to launch a six-year, $158 million renovation and expansion.

And he certainly hasn't done himself any favors by failing to inspire the general public to rally around his agenda. But Obama's stumbles atop the high wire of running the federal government have created perhaps the greatest danger to his presidency, and they are oddly reminiscent of the misguided practices that tripped up his predecessor.
