The co-chair of Barack Obama's Transition Team, Valerie Jarrett, told NBC news that Obama is ready to "rule" on day 1. This word choice is not an easy mistake to make. One has to have a certain mindset to use it. I hope that Obama and the rest of his team will not treat the Presidency as if Obama were a king. Consciously, I think they know this, but subconsciously I think Obama and his team have an attitude of King and King's advisors. If the left thought that Bush acted unilaterally (another false liberal talking point), just watch what Obama will do.
I think one of his first "edicts" will be to ban offshore drilling again, demonstrating once and for all the disingenuous of the Dems on this issue.

Mini Diary
8/12/2009
Final testing today at BYU. I will be glad to finish this annual intensive course that I teach. It's stressful for teacher and students alike. I have a hard time dieting during such courses and I have come to the conclusion that I eat more when under stress. Now that the course is essentially done, I can rededicate myself to losing weight (I think I have rededicated myself several times already this summer!).

Swamped is not the word for it. I have work coming out of my ears. In the fall semester beginning in September, I have been assigned a new class, Japanese 321 Readings in Modern Document Styles. It is right up my alley. We will read various newspaper articles, magazine articles, technical documents, and so forth. I probably won't be able to keep the class permanently because so much shuffling of faculty assignments goes on every semester.

- I am a teacher and a translator. I enjoy the former most, but I do the latter the most. In fact, if I am not sleeping or teaching, I am translating. I mostly live a sedentary life at my desk typing into the wee hours of the morning. I am trying to exercise more, but alas, the next project is due and ...
