Non-Paper Daily, 1.9.2009

*Michelle Obama's mom, Marian Robinson, is moving (it looks temporary) into the White House with the Obama family to help take care of the kids. Strikes me as a good message for Americans: Family helping family and sticking together is a positive thing.

*Dude ate his eye. I guess he won't be needing it soon. Sounds like a sad story.

*It looked like Roland Burris (guy who is supposed to replace Obama in the Senate) was not going to be seated, then it looked like he would, now it looks iffy again. The Illinois Secretary of State is refusing to certify his appointment and the US Senate won't seat him until "his credentials are in order." Time will tell. BTW The basic argument against seating him is that he was appointed by a guy who previously tried to sell the senate seat to the highest bidder. Here's the case in favor of seating him.
