It’s Go Time for Republican Presidential Candidates in Florida

2008 Republican Vice President Candidate Sarah Palin During an Oct. 2008 Rally in Tampa, Fla.

Newt, Mitt and Rick are pretty lucky – they’ll be spending the next week campaigning in sunny Florida and I’m hoping to catch a glimpse of the three Republican presidential candidate hopefuls during their whirlwind trips. Just as in 2008 (dang, how can it be four years already???) I’ll probably be trekking across the Sunshine…

Rally for Sanity Oct 2010 God Hates Signs

I’m tired. I’m hungry. I can’t find my friends. I need a real bathroom. Why are people throwing their signs away? I wish these people would stop pushing me!

OMG! Can’t believe tomorrow night I’m leaving on a jet plane for the Rally to Restore Sanity in Washington, D.C.! I’m so not ready but know it’ll be an awesome experience.
