BlogCon 2010

Friday, I had the pleasure of attending FreedomWork’s BlogCon, a new conference that pulled together around 175 conservative bloggers from throughout the country. Due to work and Junior League obligations on Thursday, I missed going to Hill and the opening reception. On Saturday, I ended up missing a Citizen’s United film premiere and more happy [...]

Glenn Beck Rally Field Report

Today, I volunteered for the Restoring Honor rally hosted by Glenn Beck. Unlike the other rallies, protests and tea parties I’ve attended, this event was quite different. Last week, while I was lying in the hospital, I caught Glenn Beck on the O’Reilly Factor. Beck explained that this event would be non-political and very, very [...]

Comin’ to Potomac Yard

Every time I run by Target or the grocery store at Potomac Yard, I wish that my church — National Community Church — had a location there. Since the mission of NCC is to meet at places of business in the DC area, it’s the perfect location. A few weeks ago, my prayers were answered. [...]

Perhaps it was the era of paranoia in America since it was the end of the [...]

Well Played, Mrs. O

Michelle Obama has terrible taste. I’ve never attempted to hide my critiques of her fashion choices. On the rare occasion that she pulls it together, she looks amazing. While she’s an attractive woman, she makes bad choices, such as full skirts that draw attention to her hips. Mrs. O seems convinced that cinching her outfit [...]

What are you doing for the Cure?

Cancer is a very real and scary thing in my family, particularly breast and ovarian cancer. When I give my medical history to new doctors, they usually stop writing about five minutes into it and just stare at me. It’s that bad, especially on my mom’s side. When the Susan G. Komen Foundation reached out [...]

Disconnect

This weekend, I traveled to Indianapolis for the wedding of a good friend. Almost as soon as I arrived, I realized that I left the charger to my phone back in Alexandria. Since the home where I was staying didn’t have wireless, my first reaction was, “Oh no. What about Twitter!?!” After realizing how ridiculous [...]

Kagan Style or Why Business Suits are Always Awful

Just when you think everything that could be said about Elena Kagan has been said, the Washington Post goes for the fashion card. I’m not surprised. I anticipated an article coming out like this. I was just waiting to see if it would be the WaPo or Politico. The point of the article is to [...]
