this is a great day for our nation!!
Sweet, now it’s time to bust out this Latino charm I’ve spent my whole life perfecting to score a sweet SCOTUS clerkship. Need to find out where she hangs out.
Seriously though, this is pretty great.
I’m celebrating tonight!! I’m making arroz con gandules (Fredo’s recipe) and I’m gonna eat it while wearing my graduation robes. I need a gavel.
Oh, and McCain and Hutchison can suck it.
