Jokester in Chief

Here's the President at the Correspondent's Dinner. He's funny!

O and Joe!

Prez O and his Veep Joe rolled through my town today on their way to Dee Cee and we gave 'em a good Eagles chant! Have a great ride an importantly--HAPPY BURPDAY MICHELLE!

Feelin' a Bit More Blue

You know how excited I was by Blue Florida? And Blue North Carolina--that state that repeatedly elected Jesse Helms? And Blue Virginia. Ok, well this trumps 'em all. After recounting the votes, adding in provisional and absentee ballots, Obama took one of Nebraska's electoral college votes--the first time in 40 years a Dem has won in NE! (For those of you fortunate enough to not live with a political science dork, Nebraska is one of two states to divide up its electoral college vote by Congressional District.) So my GranNE no longer lives in a Red State! She was part of parting the Red Sea!

Bringin' Home the Bacon!

This is what a feminist looks like!

I'm a strong advocate of equal pay for equal work because I need my ma ape to bring home the bacon! (Literally--ma ape, we haven't had bacon in months!) John McCain supports it in theory just not, you know, it a legally enforceable way.

You know who does support it? Michelle Obama and her husband who, you may have heard, is running to be the Prez. You can read Michelle's bloggy post on the Obama equality platform She blogs just like me! But with less f'n profanity and fewer gratuitous photos of herself being unbearably cute.

Reason #5 I'm Barking: LGBT Issues!

Speaking to the Gay & Lesbian Leadership Council, Michele Obama sez:

"We are all only here because of those who marched and bled and died, from Selma to Stonewall, in the pursuit of a more perfect union. The world as it is should be one that rejects discrimination of all kinds."
