Girl

I'm a die-hard feminist, political junkie, and Red Sox fan living in DC where I work in political consulting and PR. I tried to start a real blog, but then I realized I was too lazy and/or busy.

Dear Jezebel commenters,

I know you’d like to be the chief of Rahm Emmanuel’s staff. You’d love for Obama to stimulate your economy. You want to tickle Jon Stewart’s “funny bone.” I get it, I do. These men are sexy and smart, and it’s a bit of a novelty in modern politics. But for the love of all things political and holy, must you let the world know every single time a picture of them is posted or they are mentioned? Every time?

I know I talk about my love for Steny; I’m not perfect. But I try to keep my fangirlishness to a minimum and contained within my own blog.

I’ll probably regret posting this, but it’s been bugging me for a while. This ends your Tuesday Rant.

Tough love,
PPG

Not by me.

Or by me.  I’ll sit in your circle anyday, SMM.

Same. I await the dramatic drop in my follower number.

This is my honest-to-God “To Do” list for today.  Note the three things out of 18 that are checked off as completed.  (OK, the 18th item has since been scratched out. Not an option.)  But seriously?  ALL of this today.  Some things take 10 minutes or so, but others are fairly time-consuming projects.  I need my own personal intern. See item six: “Place intern ads.”  Also see item 17: “Show [redacted] how to print photos.”  Not written: “… for the one millionth time!!”

Of course, then I play on the internet all day and end up working through lunch and staying late because I feel guilty for not being productive enough despite the fact that I’d never finish this list even *if* I did nothing but work all day.

Me too! Me too!

I have been nauseated and on the verge of tears since I picked this guy up on Saturday.  He is an absolute angel, and I am just desperately sad that he is essentially an orphan.  I am scared that nobody will ever want to adopt him.

Lookit that punim!  I’d totally adopt him if my landlord allowed pups.

We are almost out of toilet paper at home. I am le tired. I do not want to go to the store. There is toilet paper at the office. I think I will steal a roll.

This is not weird, right?

The Tumblr gods have spoken. I am absconding with the goods.

That’s a lot of pink.  

Sincerely, 
You

Look! It’s my boyfriend, Steny!

Yes, Rosa. Steny Hoyer. I lurve him.

Crappy SC schools with leaky ceilings! Represent!

Ah, high school memories.

Bobby Jindal talks to Americans like we are all first graders. Thanks for the bedtime story, Governor.

Then a BIG, BAD monster called Obama came and tried to help normal people, not just millionaires! He tried to give us all scary health insurance!
