• Kids to Obama: Read Books, Eat More Ice Cream

  Ah, if only life were this simple. A collection of letters written by children to President-Elect Barack Obama were highlighted in the New York Times last week.  Their number one pick? A series of junk food suggestions from a little girl who thinks the president elect needs to put on some weight.  Read More...

• Obama Adds Kids Concert to Inaugural Lineup

  They've been telling us not to bring the kids along to the inauguration, but since Americans are known for being such great listeners . . . they've added a kids show to the lineup. Considering Sasha and Malia Obama's iPod playlists are probably a little (OK, a lot) different from Barack and Michelle's, is anyone really surprised by this one? Read More...

• Hey Obama, Give This Kid an Interview!

  Damon Weaver's stuck his mic in the faces of the likes of Vice President-Elect Joe Biden, future Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and possible New York Senate-seat-holder Caroline Kennedy. So what makes him any different from your standard political pundit? He's just ten years old.  And now the Florida fifth grader is gunning for the biggest interview of his TV news career: he wants to land President-Elect Barack Obama. Read More...

• An Obama Your Kids Can't Resist: Make the President-Elect in Cupcakes

  If your kids are anything like mine, they fall prey to bribery pretty easily. Bribery in the form of frosted goodness anyway. So if your little one isn't already spouting "President Barack Obama" when you show off pictures of the new commander in chief, how about a convincing them with cupcakes?

• Morning News: The Second Thing Michelle Said After Obama's Historic Win

  Lots of good stuff from Barack Obama during his 60 Minutes interview with Steve Kroft last night.

• 25 Things You Don't Know About Barack Obama

  Who is this president-elect, Barack Obama? "Oh, now you ask," bleat the GOP strategists who couldn't get that whole "we don't reeeeeally know him" strategy to work. It's never too late to ask. Here are 50 things you might not know about him yet. Sure, they're pretty trivial, but fun to know anyway. Like, did you know he could bench press 200 lbs.? Not bad for a skinny dude, not bad. Also, he collects Spider-Man and Conan the Barbarian comics. Some other favorites:   Read More...

• Morning News: Students Kicked Out for Saying Obama's Name

  Having your candidate lose an election can make you want to do crazy things. Believe us! We've been there! But banning the utterance of the president-elect's name strikes us a terribly old-fashioned/old-facist. Not to mention, against the law. Yet the ACLU continues to receive complaints from parents and students of Pearl Schools in Mississippi.   Read More...

• From 52 to 48 With Love: When Families are Split Down Political Lines

  Coming from a split political family myself, some of the images captured in blogger ZeFrank's From 52 to 48 With Love project tugged at the part of me that always wishes families would just GET ALONG! I've always wondered if election season wasn't shoved up against Thanksgiving so we'd all be forced to deal with one another and make nice after a long period of sniping.
