Here is White House National Economic Council Director Larry Summers nods off while President Obama talks to the press after a meeting with officials from the credit card industry. Like they say, nice work if you can get it.

This is a cute cartoon. Unfortunately it is too small. It showed a little boy asking this old man why he has this boring tattoo on his arm, it is just a bunch of numbers. The old man said, it was put there when he was the same age as the little boy and he kept it as a reminder. 'A reminder of happier days? asked the little boy. The old man replied, 'No...of a time when the world went mad.' The little boy asked again, 'So you kept it to remind you of a time of political extremism?' 'No, the old replied, to remind you'.

At my niece's Bat Mizwah, I met one of my sister in law's aunt who has this same boring tattoo on her arm, this was a few years ago. It was a real honor to meet a live holocaust survivor.
