Now This Is Change We Can Believe In

A devoted reader sent me a link to a story from The New York Times that further proves that a vote for Obama is a vote for hope. Hope that our society will cast off its BlackBerry addiction and emerge stronger and renewed.

Indeed, in the interest of national security (and, I'd like to think, breaking the habit), Obama will have to give up his BlackBerry. Apparently, e-mail is not a secure enough form of communication to be discussing national secrets. Not only that, but it's hardly appropriate for the President of the United States to conduct his diplomacy over BBM (to Gordon Brown: "lol @ ahmadinejad. srsly, txt him and tell him to 86 the WMDs or watch his back: sanctions."  to Horst Köhler: "c u @ G8 poker night?").

Either way, the article discusses just how attached to his BlackBerry the President-elect is. Which just goes to show you, ladies of Penn, despite your compulsive BBMing every three minutes, yes, you can.
