Earlier this week Holly wrote a really interesting piece about the electoral parallels between now and 1993—and the fact that the GOP is hoping for a dramatic Democratic defeat in next year's midterms, similar to what happened in 1994. Holly points out...

  • Ordering in, White House Style

    Katie Connolly | Apr 8, 2009 03:52 PM
    The Obama family would like pizza for lunch on Friday, so they are ordering in....from St Louis. And it's not just the pizza that will be traveling interstate: Staff from St. Loius pizza joint Pi will be flying in to prepare their finest for the First Family. The St. Louis Post Dispatch reports that Ryan Mangialardo, one of the owners of Pi, will be bringing enough pizza dough ingredients for 20 pies with him on the plane to DC. According to the Post Dispatch, the President had tasted Pi's pies while at a campaign rally in St. Louis last year, and later called owner Chris Sommers to tell him it was the best pizza he'd ever tasted. On Friday, Mangialardo will be dishing up a combination of thin crust and deep dish pizzas, including a vegetarian, a chicken and a pesto option. We're curious if they'll also be serving their commemorative election pizza, the "Broccoli O'Bama", to POTUS. (We're also guessing George H. W. Bush isn't a big fan of that particular pie.)

  • Photo Diary: Obama in Baghdad

    President Obama just arrived back in Washington a short time ago. He landed at Andrews Air Force Base at about 2:30 in the morning and helicoptered to the White House a few minutes later. This was one of those days where your Gaggler feels sort of overwhelmed by what she’s seen. About 24 hours ago, we started off the day trailing the president in Turkey, as he walked through one of the most historic mosques in the world. Then we went to Baghdad, where Obama spent four hours on the ground meeting with troops and Iraqi leaders in an old palace compound built by Saddam Hussein. Twelve hours later, your Gaggler was in Washington, passing the dome of the U.S. Capitol building on her way home. Wow. After the jump, more photos from the trip to Iraq.
