Politicians in High School

April 8, 2013 at 1:08 pm

tags before they were famous, David Axelrod, Eric Cantor, George Bush, hot guys, Joe Biden, Newt Gingrich, Paul Ryan, Politics, Rudi Giuliani, they were hot once

From top, left: Joe Biden, Rudi Giuliani, Eric Cantor, David Axelrod, Paul Ryan, Newt Gingrich, George Bush, and Mitt Romney. Not gonna lie, I would have lusted after each and every one. Even Newt Gingrich. Even Eric Cantor. ESPECIALLY Rudi Giuliani and David Axelrod. And Paul Ryan, omg YUM. Joe Biden is an old crush, so his hot high shool pic comes as no surprise. For more high school pics, including a FABULOUS Nancy Pelosi, and very revealing Michelle Bachman, check out today’s Business Insider. (via Towleroad)

Schadenfreude!

tags greetings cards, Mitt Romney, Politics, the 2012 elections

I remember last fall shopping at Target and being shocked to see these cards. The entire set in the Santa Monica branch of the so-called Election Collection was anti-Obama. Too bad for them that things didn’t turn out as planned!

Happy (Federally Observed) Veterans Day, Y’All

November 12, 2012 at 5:54 pm

tags Politics, Tammy Duckworth, Veterans Day

And how ’bout it for Tammy Duckworth, who fought in Iraq (losing both her legs and badly damaging an arm in the process), and is now a U.S. Congresswoman-elect!

Formerly a helicopter pilot in the Army, she’s now fighting for abortion rights and gun control laws on Capitol Hill. Minnesota may have Bachmann, but Illinois has DUCKWORTH! Her Democratic Convention speech from earlier this year can be found here.

Vladimir Franz Tattoos Renaissance Man Presidential Candidate Politics Ink Elections Czech Republic Body Modification

If elected, and it’s very possible he could be, the Czech Republic’s Vladimir Franz will become the very first head-to-toe tattooed president of a country ever. The 53-year-old candidate in the 2013 election is a respected classical music composer, famed painter, lawyer, university professor, and possessor of multiple face piercings, who not surprisingly has huge support among young Czechs. The renaissance man recently got the 50,000 signatures required for a bid in the election. Citizens will be voting in January with the incumbent president, Vaclav Klaus not eligible for a second term. (Photos: Pacific Coast News)
