It's good to be king

My two favorite comedic lines from this week's triumph:

1) "Fun Fact: Joe Biden is the only American Vice President in eleven years who hasn't shot a friend in the face."— @LOLGOP via TweetDeck
2)  ""I'm a sixth-generation Iowan, an Eagle Scout, and I was raised by my two moms, Jackie and Terry. People want to know what it's like having lesbian parents. I'll let you in on a secret: I'm awesome at putting the seat down."---Zach Wahls

It was a great week--even the non-marquee speakers (John Kerry, Sandra Fluke, Julian Castro, Ted Strickland, et al) were fantastic.  We'll be screaming in a year because they'll have broken our hearts again, but at least we'll be screaming while eating, having a place to live, and working. We can't say the same about Daddy Warbucks and Jughead.

For now, I'm just going to enjoy the glow.

Peace,

Michelle, my belle

You know the best part about Michelle Obama's otherworldly speech tonight?  That we have Bill Clinton giving the nomination speech tomorrow night followed on Thursday by another fellow who's quite good at orating--our President, Barack Obama.  Don't know if it will make a shit's worth of difference on November 6th, but it's going to be a fun week to be a Democrat.

And this from a man who wasn't even going to watch the DNC Convention (what for?  like they're going to say something to make me vote for Romney?).

Keep your fingers crossed for Mrs. Warren tomorrow night....

Peace,
