love and the little things by Nicole

I’m really looking forward to the day some boy realizes I’m worth holding on to.

Rush, Obama, Fluke, Misogyny, and the Constitution

You don’t have to agree with Limbaugh politically to see the double standard and the hypocrisy. I don’t agree with Limbaugh on plenty of issues. His Sandra Fluke comments were uncalled for.  But, so are those of the likes of Keith Olbermann and Bill Maher. This link is from Rush’s show today, and it’s illuminating.

This second link is what people should really be talking about. Not his apology, but the origin of Sandra Fluke’s press conference.

“Growing up in northern California has had a big influence on my love and respect for the outdoors. When I lived in Oakland, we would think nothing of driving to Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz one day and then driving to the foothills of the Sierras the next day.”

Grammar pet peeve

It’s quite loathsome when people use the term “literally,” when they really mean “figuratively.”

For example: If he talked to me, I would LITERALLY die.

No. Talking to him will not kill you.

You mean, “If he talked to me, I would FIGURATIVELY die.”

Or better still, “If he talked to me, I would be so happy. I would be so overcome with joy and excitement that I would be speechless.”

Tumblr Insights: Election 2012 Report

With the U.S. presidential campaign already off to a roaring start, news from the Republican primary contests has been a major topic across Tumblr. As we near another crescendo in Florida, we were curious how the campaign—from the numerous debates and rallies, to election ads and gaffes—has played out so far in terms of the type and quantity of attention received by each candidate on Tumblr.

The first graph shows how frequently each candidate’s name appeared in posts. The second shows other tags most frequently associated with each candidate. We’re most impressed with the viral power of one creative concept blog: When Rick Perry’s Unpopular Opinions sprang up as a parody of one of Perry’s campaign videos, he easily became the most blogged candidate overnight.

Our Insights team will be bringing you more data as the campaigns progress!

So, I find these charts interesting for lots of reasons, but the part that made me giggle a little was the third entry for Michelle Bachmann in January 2012…Darren Criss. First of all, they spelled his name wrong, but second: hahahahaha. That is so great. Love.
