'Nobody's gonna rain on my blog tirade'
I love The Bloggess and had no idea she has such a lovely singing voice! I’m going to have to start watching “Glee.” And going to bed on time — by coincidence, it was exactly 1:26 am here when The Bloggess said she was up at 1:26 am. Update, 12/13/09, Sunday: See another side of …

When the Left mocks Obama, come to find it's not racist
The Left has begun to mock Obama, who is the most pre-eminently mockable man ALIVE. Surprise! When the Left ridicules Obama, it’s not racist. Well, I’ll be.
