omg.

obama at the g8 summit this week in italy -

kind of love sarkozy's face also. hey prez - did you think the photographers took the day off??

awk.

is it just me, or is this picture supremely awkward...? is obama trying to make out with him? has obama turned into a vampire? what the heck?! if you actually care about the story that went along with this, go for it.

amazing.

thanks to e's always-phenomenal detective work (and general organizational abilities), she's discovered this amazing Obama poster! i want one for my apartment!

obama connection alert.

i had heard rumors about this in my family, but today i found confirmation of my family's connection to obama!

so, my grandpa started a meatpacking company in 1939 - city foods. sorry kids, it's not kosher. he sells his brand of brisket and corned beef - bea's best, named after my grandma - to, among other places, manny's deli in chicago. again, i wouldn't really know about it due to the non-kosher factor, but apparently it's a big deal in chicago. and the word on the street is that obama loves to get corned beef sandwiches from them! hoorah for bea's best! pretty cool that the president loves my family's corned beef.
