whoa, pardner

I promise this is the last one; I can’t get enough. All Biden pictures are good pictures! Who is he pointing and lunging at like that? What did they do to deserve it? Here Obama attempts to reel him back in:

in the year 2000

I just turned on Conan, and the musical guest, Lykke Li, is singing everything through a megaphone! Into the microphone! What if it was through a telephone too? That’s all the phones that are coming to mind. I can’t really hear what she’s saying, but it’s not bad. Do people do this often live? Plus then she sort of uses it as a dance prop in between verses. I guess this is the future:

the joe biden blue strikes gore too

Can you believe this? Every time I turn on the TV I see that blue tie. Look at that thing! Yes it can!

Man oh man I just can’t wait to see what the Republican National Convention has in store.

biden blue

Well I have to say that my sense of political efficacy is EXTREMELY HIGH today because Biden is wearing that beautiful Biden blue tie again tonight for his big speech at the conviction. I like to think my compliment went all the way to the top of the political food chain. Doesn’t it look like he’s saying “I HEARD YOU” in this picture? A girl can dream!

these poor men

Doing the rainbow pantsuit grunt work at Democratic National Convention Day 2. So, did they make the right choice?

I don’t much care for Hillary, but it seemed she had a good night tonight. Orange you glad they picked orange?

There have been so many good political pictures floating around this week. I can’t get enough! I especially like pictures with a) masks or b) Joe Biden making some wildly exaggerated gesture.

two strange pictures of “Jesus”

It’s a double doozie today..

When I saw this and right-click-save-as-ed it, the picture was entitled “Buff Jesus.” I’m not sure how this picture is intended to make one feel. I don’t feel good about it though. Let’s move on:

NORTHERN JEFFERSON COUNTY: A snack from God
Jesus Cheeto brings woman national attention

“Here are the basics. On July 22, Ramey, 50, who lives in unincorporated northern Jefferson County, was driving home after riding horses. She stopped for a snack at an area convenience store and chose a small bag of Cheetos. “I was eating while I was driving,” she recalled. “I don’t know why I didn’t just eat it.

“When I took the Cheeto out, it felt different. So, I looked at it and it immediately came to mind it was Jesus on the cross.”

I love this news report because it gives a lot of crucial backstory. Riding horses + convenience store + a SMALL bag + eating while driving = Cheeto Jesus/Jesus Cheeto. Hee!

Not to brag about personal experience with divinely shaped food or anything, but one of my parents was making Belgian waffles a while ago, and some extra batter came out shaped like three crosses on a hill. I bet they would love to be interviewed about it! “Saturday morning breakfast starts to feel like Sunday” or something.

hamm on a hog

You know I never feel like I get to make enough jokes about pork, so thank goodness for this picture. Jon Hamm, bike beast, plays Don Draper on the AMC show Mad Men, which makes Sunday a much better day than it was before. It’s set in the 1960′s where everyone dressed sharply and used more genteel vocabulary for the most part. Don’s having a rough season 2 so far, but clearly he still photographs well.

Motorcycles always remind me of this George Michael line from Arrested Development:

Maeby: “Do you want to go shopping with me? I bet you could get something cool.”

George Michael: “Yeah, I’m gonna need a leather jacket for when I’m on my hog and need to go into a controlled slide.”

wedding band

TIME caption.. “Paul, John and George perform at a wedding reception in 1958, when amongst other names, the group was known as The Quarrymen.”

What a bang up job on the wedding entertainment! A+++

bully for biden

While Joe Biden was a little b-b-boring, and his hair reminds me of wispy pieces of cotton candy blowing in the wind, I did really like today’s ties selections for both candidates. Joe’s was especially lovely and bright blue on the T.V. It doesn’t quite shine with the same luster in this picture, but he really looked ready to “stare down [another] dictator,” so I had to use it.
