Per NYMag:
… According to The Wall Street Journal, [Colorado Governor] Hickenlooper “said he was even thinking of slacking off on the theory it might not be a bad idea to let [Obama] win.” But, once their pool game began, it became clear that Obama is, as Hickenlooper put it, “a shark.” “Literally before my eyes he ran like four balls,” said the governor. After Obama won the first round, the pair decided to play another, and the president dominated that one too. “I still had four balls on the table when he nailed the eight ball,” Hickenlooper recalled. “He was making long shots with a difficult angle. I didn’t know people in Hawaii played that much pool. Evidently they do.”…
Of course, the Faux Newsheads will no doubt remind each other that pool (starts with a P, and that rhymes with T… ) is a very low sort of accomplishment.

Apart from friendly games (right here in River City), what’s on the agenda as we wrap up the weekend?
