<3 this one. Not only can i see Joe like this, it also gets me excited for the Olympics.
Another Political Smackdown of the Day: When the Obama camp goes after Romney, it’s all he-said, he-said.
These videos are SO smartly put together.
President Obama Speaks Out On Trayvon Martin of the Day: In stark contrast to Geraldo Rivera’s stunningly callous victim-blaming, President Obama this morning delivered a powerful statement of support for Trayvon Martin’s parents in response to a question about the ongoing investigation.
“When I think about this boy, I think about my own kids,” the president said. “I think every parent in America should be able to understand why it is absolutely imperative that we investigate every aspect of this… You know, if I had a son he’d look like Trayvon.”

It’s International Women’s Day. Happy ceiling-shattering.

I was there!! That was a very cold and longggggg day.
If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.—Election Night 2008, Chicago
Ugh… I still remember that night perfectly. I was bawling so hard (out of relief and happiness) in a bar in Montana when they announced the results. I was terrified that Sarah Palin would end up president…
Why oh WHY would White House photographer Pete Souza take this photo and then RELEASE IT? I can just hear some right-wing nutjob telling his intern “Yo, don’t bother Photoshopping ‘sad birthday Obama’ - we got a perfectly good photo right here!” Sigh.
But those cupcakes look so delicious…
Someone PLEASE put a sad Keanu and a helmet Keanu on each of his shoulders!!!
To be fair, I sort of feel this way about my birthday sometimes. I think it’s that left over feeling from having all your friends have their birthdays during the school year, then you have this crappy August one…
