I love it when Republicans are funny

Because it is so rare. And the general lack of humor just makes us look bad. And then I have to work even harder to dispel the stodgy-rich-white-men image by being extra hilarious, and honestly, it's quite tiring.

But then people like Charlie Norwood go on Meet the Press and I can relax for a little.

Tim Russert: "Well, there was a vote on the amendment to make English the official language. Senator Reid, the leader of the Democrats in the Senate said, 'I think this amendment is racist. I think it is directed basically to people who speak Spanish.'"
Charlie Norwood: "Who cares what he says? That's the silliest comment I think I have ever heard in my life."

Yaaay. I heart you, Charlie Norwood.

My kind of town, Chicago is

A long time ago, I was all like, "I'm totally going to start a blog! All my friends have blogs! Blogs are AWESOME!" And I was going to post EVERY DAY! And

Aaaaand then the quarter started. And I was never home. And I got mono. So, you know, plans change.

But now the quarter is kind of winding down- and by "winding down" I mean, maybe I'll only be stuck in an edit bay for 8 hours a day instead of 13. I was riding the L from Chicago to Evanston yesterday and I was hit with a pang of oh-n0-I'm-leaving-Chicago-soon-this-is-horrible. It made me very very sad. I heart this city.

So I have compiled a list of Things I Must See And Do Before I Leave Chicago. Feel free to add/comment/argue/take me places on the list, because to do everything in reality would cost me like 500 bucks, and I am but a poor graduate student.

Things I Must See And Do Before I Leave Chicago:

-Second City (yeah I heard this season isn't the greatest, but still)
-Steppenwolf
-One of those architecture boat tours that I always see going down the river
-Buckingham fountain
-Blues bar
-Howl at the Moon
-Wicker Park
