Obama knows he is inexperienced, and he knows that every wave eventually crashes--and that he'll need a second, more substantive act when, after his umpteenth visits to Iowa and New Hampshire, he is no longer a novelty.

If we can’t—how shall we say—mate los microorganismos, we might as well put a thin sheet of wax paper between them and us.Though our chimneys were blocked as of fall 2003, that still shouldn?...
Both teams come into this one fresh off losses to Atlantic 10 schools. That’s pretty much where the similarities end, however. The Big Green got thrashed by No. 1 New Hampshire for the umpteenth consecutive year, while the Quakers dropped the aforementioned heartbreaker to Villanova...
