Obama Fever? Do you have it? Or should I say, in proper lolcat, Obama fever, do you has? The answer to that is, Yes, We Can Has.

It's official. Gawker has even declared Obama "a living meme." Obama stuff is all over the internet. And in my very informal survey of what's out there, a whole lot of it seems positive. This is notable itself in an election year.

"I've been going to the Tribeca Film Festival for a couple of years now and one of the strongest parts of the festival has been the documentaries. Each year I manage to see a couple that I can't get out of my head. This year one of the films was Lioness, a film about women soldiers on the front lines in the war in Iraq. Yes, women soldiers are on the front lines in Iraq.

Does it make sense that a group dedicated to registering women voters would purposely seek to disenfranchise them and keep them from the polls?

A couple weeks back, news about limited rice exports from India gave my husband and I -- both raised on rice-heavy diets -- pause. We briefly mulled over the idea of buying an extra bag of rice just in case, but then let it slide.

Last week, our weekly groceries bill leaped from an average of $40-$60 to $90+. Whoa! What did we just buy?

Or is it the food crisis that we hear about? So it's here?

Have you noticed that Hillary Clinton has never, ever taken a day off this year? Maybe even last year? (hat tip to Barbara Kellerman). We all know the woman works hard. She has pluck. She's a fighter. But now, to preserve her reputation, she's going to have to be a quitter, the thing that is anathema to every over-achiever in the world.

From Pajamadeen:

Hillary couldn’t quite bring herself to congratulate her opponent, Barack Obama, for his North Carolina primary win and his hard-fought near-route of her in Indiana, but she did thank her supporters, her family, etc. in her 2:00 a.m. speech after Indiana was barely declared a win for her. The lady who’s bad at math Mrs. Clinton said: “Now it’s on to West, Virginia, Kentucky, Oregon and the other states.” Oh, God. Give it a rest. It’s o-v-e-r.
