time on their hands

Geez, I wish I had THIS much time to mess around and do something like this. I mean these days, I'd just like to sit down and read a book! 
Enjoy, or at least get a slight giggle out of the corniness.

‘livesnarking’ debates

I enjoyed tagging along with Sassy's 'livesnarking' on Friday night with the Veep Debates on television as I followed along and then joined in on Twitter. So, Sassy asked me and a few others to join together for an in-house livesnark on Tuesday night during the Presidential Debate between Senators John McCain and Barack Obama. [...]

noooooooooooo

Olsson's Books closed for good! I can't tell you how many autographed books I've picked up there. PLUS, 2 years ago, Project Runway's Tim Gunn dropped in for a visit while he was in the area to the Chinatown/Penn Quarter location. Apparently they went bankrupt.
I'm SO gonna miss that store. Total bummer.

I'm amazed to know that PostSecret founder Frank Warren volunteers at HopeLine and gives of his time to [...]

choosing a governor

I've decided that it would really be a great thing if we could choose our states of residence based on the governor of the state and whether we like him/her or not. I mean, I know that makes things much more complex and probably requires the implementation of term extensions, blah, blah, blah. But, humor [...]

seriously?

OK… this story was absolutely too hilarious NOT to share. How could anyone be THIS out of touch in society, especially when you LIVE in Washington, D.C., the city of politics…

getting a big head

So, my friend Shope saw this the other day going down the interstate through Birmingham. While it's not her picture, she did find it, and I just had to share it, because it's hilarious.
 
Because, seriously, what the crap do you do if you're traveling and you wake up to this? Do you wonder if the [...]

the district & handguns

In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court announced that the Second Amendment applies to Washington, D.C., concluding that residents of the district have the right to bear arms and to carry their own handguns. Tonight on The Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert's take was:
