I’m gonna miss my big nerd president so much. Sob!

No, I think part of the reason he hates her so much is that she doesn’t give a shit about appearing to care about being attractive to men. He can’t sexualize her, therefore she has no value. And worse, it’s a woman who doesn’t care if he finds her attractive who will stand up to him.

There’s also the issue that some of her other possible picks would have tipped the Senate balance by having their replacement be appointed by a Republican governor. Virginia has a Dem governor who will pick another Dem to finish his term. Not to mention that VA is an important swing state.

Bernie Sanders.

Yes! I’ve known of him since he was Richmond mayor. Friends of mine have worked with him when he was Lt. Gov and Gov and they rave about him. His wife is pretty damn awesome, too.

Sigh. The WH will never be as cool as this ever again.

Kate is amazing.

We used Louis Armstrong It’s A Wonderful World, because it’s my father’s favorite artist.

This was our first dance.

Lucky you, you’ve not been exposed to the Cumberbatch “truthers” who are suuuuuuuper pissed off that he got married, they have come up with some doozy conspiracy theories about his wife and their baby. It’s crazy.

Yessss, with his lovely wife Sophie next to him too!

Don’t be that guy. Don’t.

Let Nate Silver talk you down from that ledge.

And all the Trumps. All the kids plus Melania are going to speak. It’s going to be tremendous. Tremendous. The best convention ever.

This is the Tom that I miss, before The Thirst hit. Tom wearing his dorky big watch and comics shirt doing the snakehips dance.

No kidding. A relative of mine lost a pregnancy at 7 months along, and a close friend experienced a stillbirth of a much-wanted baby, and I am so grateful that these all happened before social media because some things deserve to only be experienced in private.

I have been trying like hell to figure out what the hell they see in each other and I can’t figure out what it is. I also don’t want to believe this is some sort of staged PR thing because my knee-jerk response is to always laugh in the face of conspiracy theories. And I’ve had an internet crush on Hiddles for a…

That’s when TVs in separate rooms come in handy. Also, internet.

I fall asleep to Forensic Files at night. There’s something about the formula of it and the narrator’s voice that knocks me out in less than an episode.
