Dreams Do Come True of the Day: Congrats to 11-year-old student reporter / Internet celebrity Damon Weaver, who finally got his long-sought-after face time with President Obama, and in the process became “the youngest reporter to conduct a one-on-one interview with a sitting President.”

Keep up the great work, Damon!

John McCain & George Stephanopoulos’ Twitterview

Stephanopoulos & McCain for reasons unknown decided to conduct an interview on twitter. This seemed asinine and annoying to me until I saw that Steph called it “an interesting experiment.” I love social experiments so at that point I was in. Hell, I thought that being on a reality show was a fab social experiment.

Here’s the transcript:

SenJohnMcCain hi george im a little slow

SenJohnMcCainHappy St. Patricks day

GStephanopoulos@SenJohnMcCain Happy St Patrick’s Day! First things first: How do u tweet — dictate or type? Blackberry or pc?

SenJohnMcCain@GStephanopoulos Happy St. Patrick’s day - slow, sometimes pc somtimes bb

GStephanopoulos@SenJohnMcCain AIG: Would a President McCain break bonus contracts? Obama teams says that would cause more harm than good

SenJohnMcCain@GStephanopoulos i would have never bailed out AIG, the real scandal is billions to foreign banks.

GStephanopoulos@SenJohnMcCain ok, but today: should bonus contracts be broken? Dodd wants a targeted tax on bonuses OK with that?

SenJohnMcCain@GStephanopoulos i haven’t seen it but i would explore every option. i repeat, we wouldn’t have this problem if we hadn’t bailed them out

GStephanopoulos@SenJohnMcCain RIght, but didn’t you vote for first TARP, which went to AIG?

SenJohnMcCain@GStephanopoulos i voted for first tarp but that doesn’t mean i voted to bail out AIG.

GStephanopoulos@SenJohnMcCain Obama says GOP can’t “just say no” on budget Will you offer a full alternative to Obama budget?

SenJohnMcCain@GStephanopoulos I’m working with others on alternatives - cong paul ryan has some great ideas.

SenJohnMcCain@GStephanopoulos to follow up - first AIG bailout was pre-tarp.

GStephanopoulos@SenJohnMcCain Take point on 1st AIG bailout How about budget? Will you offer alternative?

GStephanopoulos@SenJohnMcCain What worries you more: Pakistan or Iran?

SenJohnMcCain@GStephanopoulos both. the challenges are different but both significant.

GStephanopoulos@SenJohMcCain Cheney said on CNN that Obama putting US at risk of new terror attack Agree?

SenJohnMcCain@GStephanopoulos too early to draw that conclusion.

GStephanopoulos@SenJohnMcCain Lots of twitterers want to know: what do you think of Meghan’s feud with Coulter and Ingraham?

SenJohnMcCain@GStephanopoulos I’m proud of my daughter and she has a right to her opinions.

SenJohnMcCain@GStephanopoulos like any family we agree on some things and disagree on others.

GStephanopoulos@SenJohnMcCain Thanks for your time Senator.You’re a good sport I know I’m not getting anymore on Coulter and Ingraham Happy St Pat’s again

SenJohnMcCain@GStephanopoulos Thanks a lot george, let’s do it again soon. now i look forward to reading our followers comments and insults.

SenJohnMcCain had a lot of fun george: http://tinyurl.com/dl2w9t

barack obama related confession

omg. i am so excited about the iowa win. but then i am totally afraid to be excited. but then my mom tells me that i shouldn’t say stuff like that around other people because she’s paranoid like i am, or i am paranoid like she is. but then here i am writing about it in my blog. i am scared to get happy because i believe that america is still too racist to elect a black man. but then this kind of negative thinking goes against everything i believe in. and then it makes me sad to feel that way, and makes me sad that i really believe it’s true. but then this iowa win gives me total hope that maybe people may be able to vote on merit, somehow. i dunno. exciting.
