While most of the people in the country are struggling in one way or another… The President and a ton of celebrities had a blast at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner last night.

Where are Christina Aguilera’s pants?

Who is most influential according to Askmen.com- Kanye West, Steve Jobs, or Barack Obama?

Nothing dirty here of course, just Justin Bieber’s sweet “Mistletoe” video!

Nut job in Ohio kills himself… but not before he let his 48 wild animals loose!  Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!

I wonder if this picture of President Obama drinking a beer last night is going to send anyone into a frenzy… What if something happened and he’s had a beer???  What if he has low tolerance and those few sips will send him into a buzzerrific stupor??

I think it’s adorable, and important for him to just be normal.  Apparently his approval rating has dropped, but whatever – the guy’s only been in office for a month and he’s signed a ton of bills and at least gotten the ball rolling… Better than the last people who just kind of acted like nothing was wrong, oh except for the evil-doers.  Ugh.

Anyway, el presidente went to the Washington Wizards vs. Chicago Bulls game last night at the Verizon Center in DC… I don’t even know who won, nor do I care.

This was probably the favorite moment of the night… Beyonce singing “At Last” at the Neighborhood Inaugural Ball while President Obama and the First Lady danced.

I read a bunch of comments that said Beyonce & Michelle should have traded dresses… I don’t think so.  I think she looked amazing!!!

Here’s the video, although I can’t promise it is going to actually show up…

Barack Obama took his daughters out to lunch in Hawaii.  SO ADORABLE!

Woo hoo!

Since someone posted a comment about my lack of election coverage (since this is after all a political blog) I figured I would share this picture of our president-elect leaving the gym.

I’m very excited about this too… But it was way more fun making fun of Sarah Palin, and it looks like she isn’t going anywhere since the Republican party is apparently going to try to make her the next big figurehead of the GOP… it’s laughable.

I’m sure she’s a nice lady and smart in her own way, but come on…

Back to the Obama Presidency – it is very cool to me… I got choked up watching his speech… There is a renewed sense of hope, and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that gas prices are almost 1/2 what they’ve been for the last year… I think just the hope and the idea that things are going to change will itself stimulate change… but whatever.  I don’t really talk politics much because I’m much better at making fun of celebrities and gushing over Violet Affleck.

So I’ll stick to that, but yes – I do believe this election was important and we are living in a very exciting time.
