President Obama, Afghanistan, and the 2009 Miss Universe Pageant

In addition to the health care debacle, President Obama must now deal with Afghanistan. (BTW, did y'all hear that Glenn Beck has lost backing from advertisers on account of a particularly controversial dig about the president? Hmm... I think this one warrants further exploration.) Anyway, I'm certain the president and his cabinet will not only facilitate timely, honorable withdrawal from Iraq, but they will also handle Afghanistan effectively. Of course, only time will tell.
As for the Miss Universe 2009 pageant, Miss Venezuela won for the second year in a row. Nineteen-year-old Stefania Fernandez secured herself the "peace" crown by being beautiful as well as decidedly brainy, astutely answering a tough interview competition question about whether women still face barriers in society. She said they really don't. I like her! LOL! Anyway, the entertainment left much to be desired-- IMHO. Ex-Destiny's Child wingwoman Kelly Rowland performed with some DJ guy. I'm sure Ms. Rowland is a perfectly fine individual, but Beyonce she ain't. The other big news is that Hills "star" Heidi Montag-Pratt (we're into hyphens now, are we?) "performed" her latest "single." Um, no comment there.
