Welcome back to Monday morning.
I haven't done a news round up in a month or two, so I figured I would lay down what's happening in the world this Monday, Jan 12: Obama is still everywhere, cocaine is still being widely used, Americans still love celebrities and Canadians still hate smoking. Enjoy.
Obama's people have been busy scheduling the president elect's first international trip. It seems they got ahold of Harper's people and have scheduled a play date for the boys. Obamania is heading north!
In other Obama news, Vogue is denying rumours that Wintour is being considered for a position as ambassador to France. First Arnold Schwarzenegger, then Caroline Kennedy and now this? Which celebrity will make the next guest appearance in the US government? I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Lindsay Lohan is named ambassador to the lesbian community.
White power/white powder: as it turns out, white teenagers love cocaine. Who knew?
The city of Toronto is considering extending its smoking ban to include playgrounds, an area it apparently forgot to ban citizens from lighting up in back when they took the ban to strip clubs, dive bars and other locations not frequented by children. Word is, if this passes, we may even have to stop smoking at the zoo.

the ny times really has its finger on the pulse with that one. also, it's written by charles m. blow? just the icing on the cake, i suppose.
i think this is an excellent re-cap of recent news. i definitely agree that smoking in wading pools is a no-no and that Obama will look good on Canadian soil.
i plan on reading your book on the plane <3
xo
i think that is a shame, I don't even smoke but not being able to smoke at the zoo, come on. How else are you suppose to deaden yourself to that smell. It would be like if the Swiss said you couldn't smoke in the grocery store anymore. By the way, for a California girl, that was some culture shock. "yes, I'll take a head of lettuce with a side of lung cancer."
cocaine is gross. nothing to joke about.
speaking of barack obama, i hear that second city toronto has quite the funny sketch show going on: "Barack to the Future"
