According to The New York Times, Barack Obama plays...pick-up basketball! And unlike articles about his foreign policy platform or health care plan, it's a page one story that continues well into the paper. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the sort of crack reporting that the blogosphere simply cannot replace.
Update: On the other hand, this is a cute catch: "Mr. Obama is left-handed," explains the article, "and his signature move is to fake right and veer left, surprising players used to guarding right-handed competitors."
