America's most influential think tank

Yesterday, during lulls in Puppy Bowl VI I caught some of the pre-Super Bowl festivities on CBS. And for the second straight straight year President Obama was interviewed by a television anchor, this time Katie Couric.

And, oh, how Katie managed to concern troll like a true Villager --via the same source used so long and reliably by Tom Friedman (paraphrase, but close):

Mr. President, A cab driver told us to tell you that he's scared to death of the deficit."

Amazing how many cab drivers end up sounding like David Broder.
