On Thursday it was announced that President Obama started wearing a fancy Fitbit on his right wrist—the kind that tracks everything including your heartbeat rate, sleeping, probably blood pressure, as well as playing tunes if your smart phone is nearby. (And if Obama does have a smart phone, it would be the only smart thing in the White House.) I’m guessing the White House physician ordered the Fitbit as a precaution after the results of the Israeli election—which should perhaps be regarded as the last race of the 2014 midterms—came in on Tuesday. (Has anyone checked on the whereabouts of Krugman’s cat, incidentally?)
For our Australian friends. . .
