Obama is an arrogant, arugula eating, fancy-berry-tea drinking celebrity

Who are these people??? I just wish I could afford something like those $520 Ferragamo shoes McCain wears.

Think and hope

First, a quote from Bill Clinton. Unquestioningly the best president to serve during the past 30 years: Now one of Clinton's laws of politics is this: If one candidate's trying to scare you and the other one's trying to get you to think, if one candidate's appealing to your fears and the other one's appealing to your hopes, you better vote for the person who wants you to think and hope. Second, a silly Hillary Clinton campaign ad running currently Third and final, a response from Barack Obama.

I am so happy about Obama

I know he won and all last night, but calling it a "victory" speech makes me feel funny. It probably feels like a lot bigger victory to them because they've been grinding for four months now. The speech is great and I hope Obama rolls all the way to the White House by November. I am so happy for Obama, his campaign, and his family: Go Obama!
