Obama has a speechwriter who is 27-years old and writes at Starbucks. That has to be the best gig ever!

"He looks like he's in college and everybody calls him Favs, so you're like, 'This guy can't be for real, right?' " said Ben Rhodes, another Obama speechwriter. "But it doesn't take long to realize that he's totally synced up with Obama. . . . He has access to everything and everybody. There's a lot weighing on his shoulders."
Please hook me up with your job, Favs. I like coffee, and I really like Obama. I'm doubly qualified for that job ... I think.... well, maybe.
On another note, are you single, Favs? Everyone who knows me well will tell you we are extremely compatible based on this:
"He moves while he writes to avoid becoming stale -- from the Starbucks, to his windowless transition office, to his new, one-bedroom condo, where the only furniture in place is a blow-up mattress on the hardwood floor. He sometimes writes until 2 or 3 a.m., fueled by double espresso shots and Red Bull. When deadline nears, a speech consumes him until he works 16-hour days and forgets to call home, do his laundry or pay his bills. He calls it 'crashing.'"
That's me, exactly! (Except I have better furniture, which I'm willing to share). So Favs, how about it - a job maybe? or at least a date? Maybe we can do some laundry and pay our bills together .... super romantic. xxxooo Kim
P.S. Jeff - if Favs drops me a line, then we're definitely moving to D.C.
P.P.S. Sorry for not calling lately, Mom. I've just been "crashing." I promise I'll return the 4 voicemails you left me as soon as I can!

I dunno kimmie. Kinda sounds like he is a word and/or caffeine junkie: I mean, inability to concentrate, no furniture, "crashing."
He's hooked on something, and either way, you'd probably end up picking up his dirty underwear while drinking green tea in an attempt to get off the 37 cups of Joe he's got you hooked on.
You're so right, Jimmy! The description could be of Obama's chief speechwriter .... or a serious speed addict. I refuse to believe the latter!:)
