Today's post brings together three articles, all loosely connected regarding the hazards of fame:

• Did You Hear The News About The President? President Obama. Love him or hate him, he's surely in the news... and has all sorts of stories floating about. My advice? Only argue about the stories that are true. To help you, here's a handy chart of almost every Obama conspiracy theory.


• He's The Next Tom Lehrer. There's one thing our new mayor in Los Angeles is known for... his piano playing and singing (if I had know this, I might have voted for him :-) ). Anyway, when he leaves his council office, he's giving back the city's piano.


• Let's Make Reservations. Consider the problems. You're Alton Brown. You don't want to cook dinner. How to make dinner reservations without it being obvious....

Music: Welcome to the Club (1989 Original Broadway Cast): "Southern Comfort"

For now, I'll have to let these versions stand. If I edit the original, the crossposter then complains about the dates (sigh):

Error from www.dreamwidth.org: 153 : Incorrect time value: You have an entry which was posted at 2013-06-03 21:03, but you're trying to post an entry before this. Please check the date and time of both entries. If the other entry is set in the future on purpose, edit that entry to use the "Don't show on Reading Pages" option. Otherwise, use the "Don't show on Reading Pages" option for this entry instead.

I've had this happen before when the crossposter screws up, and it's not worth trying to get the two entries in sync. All it shows is that all this crossposting is really a fragile system.
