On BNReview, my father-in-law, a Russian doctor, teaches all you Americans how to drink vodka. I don’t need teaching because I have plenty of opportunities to watch the pros.

Meanwhile, my cousins of It’s the Real do it up OK Go-style with their new music video, “My Girl’s a Republican.”

My Girl’s a Republican from jeff on Vimeo.

Now I have their song competing for floorspace in my head with the Rally to Restore Sanity’s mash-up of “the Peace/Love/Crazy Train.”

Pictures of my favorite handwritten signs from the rally TK. It was pretty amazing, I have to say, to see hundreds of signs and not one typo. That should go down in history.
