Yo, up top. 

So I happened upon 270towin.com, and realized the President my have an easier row to hoe than I thought.  Notice, that even if Romney took back Indiana and North Carolina, took all of Nebraska’s electoral votes (Obama picked 1 off in ‘08), and won Ohio, Virginia, and Florida; it still would not be enough for him to win.  He still has to pick off another, presumably, smaller state.  The best options for Romney appear to be Iowa and New Hampshire. 
To summarize, the math is really tough for Romney.  The above scenario has him winning back five states, two of which are traditional swing states.  This above all, is why I’m hopeful for the President’s chances.

I know you’re adroitly pretending that people are attacking you for being a mom.

I love my mom. Here’s what I’m attacking you for: you own a car elevator.

I had a pretty comfortable childhood, but the only reason I even know what that is is because I watched “Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol.”…

Hilarious. 

It’s okay Texans fans, we can all breathe a sigh of relief now. 

Geezus.  What’s a guy got to do to vote for Lloyd Doggett around here?!?!

Great article about those early years.  Aside from that first game, there was a lot of disappointment back then.  I just think back at how that 05 season was supposed to be the year that we’d make the jump to the playoffs, and I get sick when I realize how that season really ended. 

The article is pretty harsh on Charley Casserly, but remember he found Mario, Demeco, Owen, and Eric Winston all in the same draft.

Wow, now the Knicks are running Isos for Lin.  Simply amazing, especially for a guy who was a benchwarmer a week-and-a-half ago. 

motherjones:

The Florida state legislature sparked controversy recently when it struck down a bill that would have allowed U.S.-born children of undocumented immigrants to pay in-state tuition rate like all other Florida residents.

Lawmakers voted to kill the bill despite emotional testimonies from several…

 This angers me on so many levels. 

Okay scratch that, never mind Obama Girl.  The President’s still got ScarlettJo!

Help us Obama Girl the President needs you.
