Fired Up! Ready to Go!

November 4, 2008
By Kim Werker


Have I mentioned that I’m a cynic? Have I mentioned that I have trouble not tuning out politicians whenever they speak? Regardless of whether I agree with them or not? Have I mentioned how much of an identity crisis I had when I listened for the first time to the entirety of one of Barack Obama’s speeches, and I wept? Well, here’s my first cry of today.

[via Talking Points Memo]

Help me raise $3000 to support pancreatic cancer research! This damn disease is my family's kryptonite, but our collective superpowers can help thwart its evil blight.

    OK, I've watched this about four times now and I still get weepy. But my favorite part? Honestly? “…moonlights as a private detective.”

    I want to meet this woman.
