A bunch of politics happened

So both the Republican and Democratic National Conventions took place over the last couple of weeks.  There were some truly remarkable speeches (MICHELLE!), and plenty of barf-riffic pontificating (that freak Paul Ryan), and a veritable avalanche of blog posts, tweets, and articles.  Here are a few of my favorite politically related thangs the internet gave me over the last few weeks...

This screencap from before the conventions, but I'm throwing it in here anyway because it's hilarious:

This Tweet from concerned American citizen, Lindsey Lohan, to our esteemed leader President Barack Obama:

This truly unfortunate photo of RNC Chairman Reince Priebus:

And finally, I have saved the best for last... this incomparable photo of Joe Biden campaigning in Ohio and about to charm the pants off a lady biker, much to the chagrin of her biker man friends:

Y'all, PLEASE vote Obama/Biden this November, if only to ensure that we get four more glorious years of my Bro-seph Joseph.  

Breakout DNC star: Carina Castro!

My hump day has really been off to a lousy start, but my spirits have just been lifted by this fantastic little girl.  This is Carina Castro, beautiful daughter of San Antonio mayor Julian Castro.  While watching her daddy speak at the Democratic National Convention last night, she flipped her hair with levels of grace and panache I can only dream of reaching:



Get it, girl!  Carina Victoria has inspired me.  I will now go forth and attempt to tackle my day with even a fraction of her class.

Good endorsement, or the best endorsement?

Y'all, let's just go ahead and shut this thing down.  He just won.

Woohoo!  Corgis for Obama! 

I just like this photo

So I am sharing it with you.



HA! Take that, birthers! Side note: Birthers are seriously the stupidest and most racist people. Please crawl back under your rock, birthers.

A Recent Convo

With my mom, natch.

Me: Laura Bush was one of the speakers at the conference.
Mama: Oh, how was THAT?
Me: Eh. She was cutesy and pointless.
Mama: Well what did you expect? She's like talking toast.
