I've been on Twitter more than Tumblr lately
Which is actually not okay with me, because Tumblr is home. But I’m lazy and twitter takes less thought. Working on the balance. Somethings got to give, and I’ve decided it’s work. That way I can maintain my social networking frequency.
In the meantime, follow me here

Dear Mr. President,
We’ve been on a role. You know I love you right now, just as I have loved you from the beginning. You know how proud I was of you last week…what with HCR, and student loans, and mortgage relief, and having Gates (you know it happened) ease up DADT, and the Russian Arms Treaty and all. And I also get that if you are going to have to do a couple of things to piss off your base (of...

For a look outside presidential bubble, Obama... →

Well, that's uplifting
I just found out there is a Facebook page in honor of alumni of my High School who have died.

Even with the time and distance and the fact that some of these people I have not thought about since I left school grounds, to see their...

Glenn Beck's guest host calls tanning tax racist →
An actual quote:
For years I’ve suggested that racism was in decline and yeah, there are some, you know, incidents that still happen with regards to racism, but most of the claims I’ve said for years, well, they’re not really real. But I realize now that I was wrong. For I now too feel the pain of racism.

Rot in your filth you disgusting pigs.
Finding loopholes is a pre-existing condition.
I was just about to blog this as well. Way to help us drum up support for the plan-paint yourselves as the side that denies coverage to sick children.

Texts with Shannon explain my night:
Me: Do you remember the creepy guy I dated before Nathan for a couple of months, who called me for months after and left me songs on my vm? I ran into him tonight. Ew.
Shan: No, I don't remember him, what was his name?
Me: Mike. But don't worry, bc I didn't remember that until after I left him.
Shan: hahah. That's amazing.
Shan: Did you sleep with him?
Me: Yup.
Me: Shush.
Shan: lololol. Omg, I'm dying
Me: I totally would have remembered it if I hadn't been caught off guard.

Filed by Carol Lee of Politico:
“Well, this used to be my favorite place,” Obama told the owner as she showed him around.
He remarked how as president he can’t really mosey around bookstores anymore, and said the office comes with the good and bad.
Obama walked around the store apparently in pursuit of the children’s/young adult section.
Along his way, he picked up “No Apology”...

A brilliantly efficient use of space and light. I’m a big proponent of über-urban living and this architect has elevated it to an art form. Skip the first minute or so. The pièce de résistance is in the last shot.
