Inaguration

Here's the frozen pile of teenagers that were sleeping in front of us for 6 hours on the national mall. When daybreak came, they unfolded in slow motion, their faces towards the sun.



This is the capital dome. The first time I've ever seen it in a non protest context. Makes me think of David Castillo looking at it all stars-in-eyes like Jimmy Stewart. That feels like a very long time ago.











Obama's the president now, that's probably making DC happy, too, where he is now.

Comes with accessories

The only time people are called "Joe the Plumber" is when they come in a brightly colored box and are tied to the cardboard in the back with twist ties.

Those people also live on "Main Street."

Dan and I are ready for the debates

I'm pretty sure I've got this sewn up.


















10:30 PM Postscript: Damn! I should have said MIDDLE class! I picked the wrong class! If I had said middle class, Dan would be TRASHED right now.

Seriously though?

I love Michelle.


Can we vote for Michelle?

Last minute help for your DNC speech...

Good evening! My name is (name), and I am honored to be here tonight, representing the great (state/commonwealth/terriotory) of (name of state).

I am the (son/daughter) of (immigrant/working-class) parents, hard working people who (came to this country/worked all their lives) to make a better life for their children. My father, a humble (mill worker/farmer/steel worker/grain silo) taught me that there is nothing as important as (hard work/perseverance), and my mother, a (teacher/seamstress/stay at home mom) who was the first woman in our small town to (vote/chair a committee/run our dishwasher with biofeuls) taught me (that my word was my bond/to love my neighbor as myself).

You see, they believed in the American dream. And it is because of their hard work and sacrifice that I am standing here tonight, and because of them, I was able to go to a college which shall remain nameless. I entered public service to values unity freedom America. Green energy failed policies teachers firemen gas economy housing crisis! Hardworking! Small town! FARMERS! FAITH! Veterans deplorable future vision change! Historic! Women! Martin! Luther! King Jr!

Thank you!
