Could you please just go back to the sequined jackets?
Unacceptable
Damn you, Bobby Jones…
Inauguration, Pt. 2: Video Diary
Since I had the pleasure of participating in Tuesday’s historic events, I decided to put together a little video of my day as a keepsake for me and my friends. And I figured I’d share it with y’all too. We went down to the parade route super early and got a great spot at the corner of 15th and Pennsylvania. We made some new friends, a couple enemies — and thanks to a beverage ban instituted by my friend Keisha, we (for the most part) avoided using the porto-potties. The video is no masterpiece, but I hope you enjoy!
Nooooo… not the babies!
Po babies.
Here we go… The people at Ty, Inc. that started the whole Beanie Baby craze have created two new dolls called “Sweet Sasha” and “Marvelous Malia.”
The dolls aren't even cute...
According to a Ty, Inc. spokesperson, they chose the dolls’ names because “they are beautiful names,” not because of any resemblance to President Obama’s daughters.
Yeah right.
I’m pretty sure that people dumb enough to believe that aren’t legally allowed to own dolls. (I’m not sure what that means, but I’m not deleting it.) You just picked those names out of the sky, huh? Gimme a flipping break.
Plus, the dolls don’t look like them and they’re not even cute. Damn profiteers. Leave those beautiful little girls alone!
I hope they sue the crap out of them.
Inauguration, Pt. I – Proud Parents
Yay! Hooray! For President Obama!!!
I was outside all day yesterday (ALL DAY = 5am – 5 pm) participating in the biggest and most historic event of my lifetime. My body is beginning to forgive me. And as soon as I can corral all the info and photos I have from yesterday, I’m gonna post about it. In the meanwhile, I thought I’d share the photos my parents sent me this morning. They watched the inauguration events from their living room, but they were just as into it as the millions of folks here in DC… Haha… you do remember me talking about my mom’s slightly stalkerish obsession with President Obama magazine covers, right?… Please notice how the collection has grown ;)
How adorable are these two?!?
“President-elect John McCain — Ain’t this a *&^%$”
I thought I’d post this clip in anticipation of Tuesday’s events. Tee hee ;)
Johnny Walker ‘Blue’ my mind
I’ve been a little backlogged with some of the Obama foolishness posts, so there may be a few coming back to back. And thanks you guys for sending this stuff in! OK…Â so let’s start at the end. And by ‘the end’ I mean the ‘end of humanity.’
There is a wine shop in DC that is selling “Obama-Engraved Johnny Walker Blue Label’ bottles.
So YES…
If you’ve been looking for a way to commemorate this historic occasion with a $180 fifth of scotch, here’s your [Dear God I hope it’s the only] chance.
Jesus, please be a liquor store fire.
We’re guessing Johnny Walker Blue Label because… blue… Democrats… But whatever the rationale, this is pure foolishness.
Et tu, B & J?
So… if you hadn’t heard already… for the month of January Ben & Jerry’s has changed the name of their famous Butter Pecan ice cream to … wait for it… “Yes Pecan.” I can’t be mad because the proceeds are at least going to a good cause that actually has something to do with politics and Barack Obama … But really.
Really?
Thanks Jenny for sending this on!
If Sanjay Gupta’s gonna be Surgeon General…
Then I think Obama should have just gone ahead and exclusively appointed TV celebrity personalities to his Cabinet. Maybe they wouldn’t be as effective as the people he’s already chosen, but they’d be cuter ;)
P.S. I understand that the surgeon general isn’t a cabinet-level position, but please… play along :)
Sanjay Gupta - Surgeon General
Here’s who else I may have picked to round out the Cabinet:
Judge Joe Brown for Attorney General
Judge Joe don’t take no mess…
Niecy Nash for Secretary of the Interior
She’ll clean things up and make them FABULOUS!
Jackie Chan for Secretary of Defense
He may not be too good at the ‘secretary’ part –Â But I’d trust him to kick anyone’s ass.
Xzibit for Transpo Sec.???
or maybe Vin Diesel…
Either way, we got a Black guy in the position (Just admit it, Vin) and we’d be riding in style…
OK, this is getting too silly now… but you get the point. I know Sanjay Gupta is a neurosurgeon… but he’s also a TV ho. Just seems weird to me. Any other cabinet suggestions? Get at me and let me know ;)
