Here's a random question: anyone know where a UK based Jezzie can get some Obama/Biden 08 campaign stuff - eg. mugs, t-shirts - that kind of thing? The offical Obama store doesn't ship overseas.

Thank you Danielle Radcliffe, we also have a very different political system in the UK which doesn't lend itself to mass rallies.

@IDon'tLikeCricket: So true - the editor of a music mag (Select?!) actually included a poster of TB!

I was 16 in April '97 and I stayed up ALL NIGHT drinking coke, hugging my knees and cheering when that smarmy git lost his seat to chants of 'Out! Out!'. In my defense, I didn't understand the cyclical nature of politics.

@tish: Sure! You'll need to have an image hosting service, like Photobucket, to upload your pictures. Then you just need to grab the direct link to that photo and do this:

<img src="http://photobucket.blah/hereismyphoto.jpg"

In which "http://photobucket.blah/hereismyphoto.jpg" is the direct link to your photo.

Notice that there is no trailing > at the end of that mess. This is because something is weird about Gawker's treatment of html tags. Hope this helps!

I know it seems kinda old news now, but that Katie Holmes thing is so depressing. I saw pictures of her going out for pizza with Suri last night, and I thought 'Doesn't she have any friends?' She seems to cling to that child for dear life.

I work at what could be called the crossroads of private industry and federal government --- it is like a ghost town. No one has anything to say. No one appears to have anything to do. Which is fine, because really all I want to do is sit here and smile.

@Khrushchev: A synopsis:

The first one said:
Celebrate the results and [co-worker's] birthday with some fresh triple chocolate chunk brownies and home-made vanilla frozen yogurt, in 3rd floor kitchen/freezer. Enjoy!

A reply:
Yes, please go enjoy them before the democratic congress outlaws transfats and excessive calories. that was a joke--don't everyone go and get all upset at me.

Then another (from a dude!):
Right on [co-worker] …I mean…I am so sick of Anti-Choice Democrats trying to tell me what I can and cannot do with my body and my health. Hands off our bodies!!!...unless you're a woman. Then we can try to dictate…

Then another:
Don't worry [same anti-Obama co-worker], you'll be Obamafied before you know it!

Then, in reply, from that anti-Obama co-worker:
So will about 80 percent of you when the Bush tax cuts expire and you get a de facto tax increase.

Then another anti-Obama:
The United Socialist States of Amerca!

@SarahMC: Jesus, please tell me the GOP isn't going to latch on to the United Socialist States of America like they did to Kerry being a flip flopper. No one could tell me WHY Kerry was a flip flop, but they were suuuuure happy to tell met that flip flops belong on your feet, not in office. I don't think I can take four years of people telling me he's a Muslim Socialist and not being able to tell me why.

I definitely took the chance last night and this morning to cut dead weight from my Facebook friends list. All the hate mongering, slightly racist head cases showed their true colors last night. Like they think that the country is going to fall apart NOW (as if things aren't in shambles), we're going to be a Socialist nation (most cannot spell "socialist"), crackheads/homeless are going to take their money, etc etc etc. I never knew people could be that vile and uninformed.

@Khrushchev: "Get over it" is just dismissive. Its like sticking your fingers in your ears and going lalalalalala.

I find it terrible that my college educated friends cannot be bothered with looking up actual factual information, relying instead on rumors and lies to get their points across. Is it that hard to read information on both sides of the fence or is it just easy to parrot buzzwords and pretend that the messy past 8 years didn't happen??
