“I Mean…What?!?” – Abe Gurko

There’s two things captivating the headlines. Swine Flu (you know how I stand on that issue) and Barak Obama’s 100 Days…which has now been celebrated for the 100th day. And just when you thought that there was nothing else to commemorate these 100 Days, comes fresh from the White House Press Office, 100 pictures of his 100 Days. Has anyone bought the commemorative plates yet? There’s a plate for every flush of the toilet…they are numbered…they’re amazing. Oh, and by the way, it’s not the only thing on Earth having a 100th milestone and to these other accomplishments, I’d like to pay tribute:

1. Selfridges, the fabulous British retail emporium is celebrating it’s 100th birthday. And, on top of that, they are experiencing an increase in business this year. Yep, profits up by 30%. Listen up Macy’s. Now this is something to crow about. In a worldwide recession, where everyone is crying the blues and slashing prices, Selfridges is dancing the Hora. Call me old-fashioned, but that is an accomplishment and worthy of our praises.

2. The 100 Episode of ABC’s “Lost” will air tonight after the 100 Days Press Conference that you-know-who is starring in on every channel except Fox, because kids, The American Idol Results Show is definitely more interesting. Come on. You don’t think that “Lost” having survived all these seasons with beyond convoluted story lines, time travel and other nonsense is a major feat? I do. I say congra-tu-fucking-lations. And while I’m at it, I’d rather peruse 100 pictures of those hottie Lost stars rather than more Obama images.

YES, I LOVE THE FIRST FAMILY. I AM A STAUNCH SUPPORTER! But Matthew Fox, Evangeline Lily and Josh Halloway are way hotter. So, Michelle, love the arms, Barak, love the smile. But when it comes to looking at 100 photos, give me the Lost Boys and Girls any day of the week. Call me superficial. I’ll live.
