Primary Colors

Well, we are well into Josie's first presidential primary season! While her mom is supporting the Hillraiser, we are letting Jo make up her OWN mind. While she likes Huckleberry's banjo-pickin' and Kucinich's flying-saucer stories, she seems to be honing in on HRC and Obama, like her dad. She was so moved by Bill Richardson's story of Saving Bill Berlune, and was saddened by his withdrawal from the race. All kidding aside, whenever we watch George Stephanopoulos she sits bolt upright and starts yammering away as though she were part of the roundtable. This week she gave George Will a smackdown you wouldn't believe!

We are all ready for the writers' strike to be over. What happens when Gabby realizes Carlos is blind? Will Angela ever forgive Dwight? Will the Dillon Panthers win the State Championship again this year? Will Senator McAllister win the Fake Oh-Eight Presidential Race? These are all very important questions when you're not currently working full-time. Thankfully, to tide us over we have Lez Girls at the Planet; B, S, C, D and all the other letters sponsoring "Gossip Girl" on Park Avenue; the Cashmere Mafia (though something tells me they're getting whacked) and Oceanic Flight 158 landing on 1/31.

In the meantime, Josie has been entertaining pals like Awntie Em, Meryl and Becca, and Meredith, even scoring her second date with son Spencer Hanson. We started Music Together (which she strains to keep her eyes open during, as it lands smack in the middle of naptime) and Mommy and Me Yoga! January is definitely much less gray with Miz Jo around!!
