More From Newsweek:

[snurri]

You really need to be reading this whole thing. This is a cute moment from Chapter 3; not sure if it's Obama or the reporter who doesn't know that it's dilithium:

"That's an interesting belt buckle," he said to Michelle, mischievously. She feigned offense and said, "I am interesting, next to you. Surprise, surprise, a blue suit, a white shirt and a tie." Obama grinned and bent down until he was almost at eye level with her waist. He jabbed a playful finger toward her belt buckle, and let loose his inner nerd. "The lithium crystals! Beam me up, Scotty!" Obama squeaked, laughing at his own lame joke as Michelle rolled her eyes.

Gotta be the reporter, since "the lithium" sounds just like "dilithium." Also: NERD!

That was my thought as well. Well, not the nerd part, because I hate that word! But I think it's awesome.

I can't find "Chapter 3." Am I just totally lame, or is it hiding somewhere?

The navigation on the Newsweek site is a bit frustrating; but there's a Flash banner that reads "Secrets of the 2008 Campaign" on it, and the bottom part of that has the chapters listed.

Were you trying to link to http://www.newsweek.com/id/167582 ?

[snurri.livejournal.com]

No. I linked to the front page of the special report, but there's navigation there to get to all of it.

Ah, I see the problem -- I have FlashBlocker loaded on my browser. It helps cut the ads, but it also cut out the navigation. Never mind.

Ah, that makes sense. They really shouldn't be using Flash as the only option to get around there, but I guess that's big media for you.
