Sarah “Miss Teen USA” Palin (via Andrew Baron).
Also, if you want to see her in a pageant for real, have at it. -
There’s plenty of sensible people in Bethlehem… they just so happen to be the ones with video cameras and YouTube accounts. (via Loic Le Meur)

“When times are tough, we need a steady hand at the tiller.”
-John McCainThis is not a doctored photo, by the way. To be fair, McCain didn’t just randomly start making a creepy-old-guy-at-the-strip-club face out of nowhere. Rather, this is how he dealt with not being sure if he should turn left or right to get out from behind a table. But honestly, if you can’t deal with the crisis of being stuck behind a table without being relentlessly mocked the next day, what’s to make us think that you have the poise to run one of the most powerful nations in the world? Sure, Obama’s riding the HopeTrain straight to Washington, but I’d rather vote for the American Dream than a living meme.
P.S. Anyone good at poker? Think this tell means anything?
P.S.S. Tiled desktop background? Hell yes.

Hey rest of the world, we’re cool now, right?

Not a Photoshop, it’s from whitehouse.gov. I can’t say I’m shocked (no pun intended), though…this would be how I would spend my last few months office.
Sidenote: I’m pretty sure this is the first time I’ve been to whitehouse.gov since, like, middle school. And in middle school I’m pretty sure I usually ended up going to whitehouse.com by accident (Wikipedia link).

“A helicopter takes off from the east front of the U.S. Capitol. On inauguration day, this helicopter will take U.S. President George W. Bush to Andrews Air Force Base following his handover to President-elect Barack Obama.”
Babysteps America, I’m proud of you.

The Inauguration of President Barack Obama - The Big Picture
Simple and beautiful, the most powerful coverage of yesterday’s inauguration comes from one of my favorite blogs, Boston.com’s The Big Picture.
You really must see this (it has big pictures!).

This stupid fucking senator wants to make saying the word “fuck” a felony. Fuck that guy.
I stand with you, bradofarrell:
Mr. Ford’s douchebaggery isn’t at all new, either. Here’s what he said on the subject of his endorsement of Clinton over Obama in 2007:“It’s a slim possibility for him to get the nomination, but then everybody else is doomed. Every Democrat running on that ticket next year would lose — because he’s black and he’s top of the ticket. We’d lose the House and the Senate and the governors and everything.”
“I’m a gambling man. I love Obama, but I’m not going to kill myself.”Well fuck, I guess I can fucking see why this fucking guy who fucking says such idi-fucking-otic things would what to fucking go and fuck up the first fucking amendment. Fuck.

Link, and Link. These snips of the president speaking in pottymouth are from his audiobook. They’re excerpts where he’s reading for a friend he knew, as I understand it. But taken out of context, they are pure awesome.
It was a long road, but we finally have a president who can say “nigga” into a microphone on purpose.
