SO excited to do this tonight:

VP Debate Night & Shuffleboard Season Opener!

Posted by: Lily on: October 2, 2008

Yes, I’m quite excited to see the debates tonight between veep hopefuls Biden and Palin.  I’m not sure which I’m more excited for, though – tonight’s debates or Tina Fey’s sure-to-follow parody of Palin on SNL this weekend.
Either way, a handful of pals and I are going to be sitting around my living room, watching [...]

What Obama might say if he didn’t have to stay all polished and buttoned-up and charismatic all the time:

Honestly though… I’m freaking scared.  I barely passed Econ in college, I don’t own any stocks, and I couldn’t tell you what a Roth IRA does.  But I do know that what happened today on Wall Street [...]

Hanging out and waiting in line to see Jon Strewart, we represented the yin and yang of the Twin Cities’ two sides (in case you can’t see it, I’m wearing my “I Heart St. Paul” shirt).

Just Left of the Dial

Have I mentioned I love the convention pageantry? I am SO caught up in BOTH of these, and especially the RNC because it is LITERALLY three miles from my house.
