I find it to be disarming. As someone who very rarely does it, and then, only on carefully selected occasions, when it happens to me, I want to think, “this stranger (guy at the post office)/professor (James Vreeland)/former president (W) has just given me a creepy indication that we share some kind of familiarity.” However, I usually wind up thinking that the person winking at me and myself are both more attractive than we probably are. I find this self realization awkward.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It’s not because I’m black. It’s not because I’m ageist. It’s because I want to have someone smarter than me leading what’s left (hehehe) of the free world.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yay! for Sarah Palin spending her time at 6 different colleges getting one degree and learning silly jokes and how to down a six pack in an hour.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Honestly though, when I meet the President, I don’t want to drink a beer with him or her. I want to have a conversation with him or her about world affairs, economics, or health care and I want to learn something. I want them to know more than I do about those things. I want them to READ a publication and be able to carry on a cohernat conversation about it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I want the President to be SMART, b/c 8 years of stupid is enough.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://blackgirlinhollywood.tumblr.com/post/53835383</link><guid>http://blackgirlinhollywood.tumblr.com/post/53835383</guid><pubDate>Thu, 09 Oct 2008 13:02:00 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>John McCain makes me uncomfortable</title><description>&lt;p&gt;My thoughts from the debate:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So he’s generally not answering questions either . Why is he standing so close to people when he talks? “Raise people’s home prices, Raise people’s home prices, Raise people’s home prices” Okay! I get that you wanna do that (I also now realize that repetition was just a big advertisement for the plan you knew was going to be explained to you the next day.) Why is John McCain wandering around in and out of frame while Senator Obama is talking? That’s pretty rude.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wait, is he lost? Oh no. He looks confused. This feels like seeing a senile senior who has wandered away from his home and forgotten to take his meds. I hope he doesn’t fall and break a hip.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Phew, he found his chair again.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://blackgirlinhollywood.tumblr.com/post/53808107</link><guid>http://blackgirlinhollywood.tumblr.com/post/53808107</guid><pubDate>Thu, 09 Oct 2008 09:30:00 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>This shiz is hilarious.</title><description>&lt;object width="400" height="336"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kKWDGqxItX4&amp;rel=0&amp;egm=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kKWDGqxItX4&amp;rel=0&amp;egm=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;This shiz is hilarious.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://blackgirlinhollywood.tumblr.com/post/53515670</link><guid>http://blackgirlinhollywood.tumblr.com/post/53515670</guid><pubDate>Tue, 07 Oct 2008 14:30:56 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>I just saw this and it’s kinduv tedious at first b/c you...</title><description>&lt;object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.collegehumor.com/moogaloop/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=1832128&amp;fullscreen=1" width="400" height="300"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /&gt;&lt;param name="AllowScriptAccess" value="true" /&gt;&lt;param name="movie" quality="best" value="http://www.collegehumor.com/moogaloop/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=1832128&amp;fullscreen=1" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;I just saw this and it’s kinduv tedious at first b/c you know they are gonna eventually tell you to vote, but it’s true.
