Wisdom Watch - Joint Session Edition

^ Obama: Joint session speech uplifts and inspires after dire East Room press sesh.

v Pelosi: Eagerness is good. Clapping over the POTUS isn't.

<-> Jindal: GOP golden boy seems likable but tired talking points lackluster after blockbuster 'Bama address.

<-> CNN Live: Mashup with Facebook was cool. iReporter Jeremy was not.

^ Naamua Delaney: CNN Live's anchor delights with analysis, accent. Prettier than Wolf.

v GOP: At least pretend you're happy to be there.

<-> John McCain: Beamed like a proud father during speech. But what was up with that chopper crack?

MRhé Wisdom Watch

In a bit shamelessly lifted from Benoc (who shamelessly lifted it from Newsweek), I humbly submit the first edition of the MRhé Wisdom Watch, which may or may not become a recurring feature.

v Blagojevich: Awful hair, worse violation of public trust.

<-> Billary: Dubious but hopeful.

<-> Glazed bacon: Glazing is good; burning is bad.

^ Celts: Off to best start in franchise history (again).

^ Queso: Hot, spicy, cheesy deliciousness - and that's just the kind that comes in a jar.

v Bailouts: Taxpayers should not support a flawed industry. How about bailing out the taxpayers?

<-> Print: Ad revenue is plummeting for a dinosaur medium. But there's something ineffable about the tactility of the Weekend Journal and Sunday Globe.

<-> Shellfish: Easy, versatile, and delicious. (But one bad clam can be a disaster.)

^ Obama: He has yet to take office, so he has yet to stumble off the pedestal.
