  1. Fortune Feimsterrrr! I haven’t heard anything about her in years. I’m glad she’s getting her own show.

  2. What a lovely couple for the Hilary campaign ad, though I wish the video clip of them hadn’t been so short! But it’s awesome that her face was in the middle of the H! And speaking of the election, you know who would make a kickass president? Wendy Davis. I’m reading her memoir and now I respect her even more than before.

    Also, that cat made my day so happy. Thank you for another great Sunday Funday, Carmen!
