I’m tired as — as — something that is really tired, so I’ll get back to regular posting once I’ve washed the Charlotte offa me. In the meantime, here’s a very Ecstatic Black Lady immediately after the big speech:
Here’s a photo of me and Elon James White right after we left the Politico party:
And finally, here’s a photo of me and Reverend Jesse Jackson, exuding gravitas:
[I need the traffic because I’m broke!]
It was the experience of a lifetime. One I’m not likely to forget. Still, I am cranky and tired and probably will spend today alternatively threatening to murder Cole, chucking babies into the sun, and yelling at idiots in Twitter.
In other words, Friday.

Alright ABL, that first pic is very boobalicious if I do say so myself
danah gaz
I’m glad you had fun. We had fun following you and cole’s (mis?)adventures as well. =)
pssst. I think you meant “alternately” not “alternatively”.
Just sayin’ I know you’re tired.
Matthew Reid Krell
I am an awful person; please don’t ask me to explain why.
HRA
Aww I still bet it’s a good tired. You look great.

The most abused blogger in the history of progressive blogging, rubbing elbows and hob nobbing with Dem elites, movers & shakers, while we regular schmucks live vicariously through your pics & tweets!
(ok, perhaps 2nd most abused, I think Glenn Greenwald might be first)
danah gaz
so can I call this journey
Bloggerhood of the Traveling Anti-Pants?
=)

@Matthew Reid Krell: Because of what you are staring at and thinking right now :)
Arclite
So, will you still be ABL, or will you change to EBL (Ecstatic Black Lady)?
Ann Rynd
Gosh, I wish I really knew you, instead of fake knowing you through BJ. Come to Brooklyn. You belong here!
Nemesis
Excellent speech from Obama.
Violet
That dress is awesome and you look gorgeous. Thanks for the great posts and Twitter updates. It’s been really fun following along. Kind of feel like I was there. Sort of.
So I clicked over to ABL and as a bonus, clicked on a couple of the ads. Hope that helps!
gbear
It’s OK. You can do anything to babies once they’re born.

comrade scott's agenda of rage
Well, you’ve still got the black lady thing down pat. I’m sure the anger will return probably the moment you walk thru your front door.
This was a brilliant idea and I’ve enjoyed both you and the ex-frat-brat-turned-fat-ex-wingnut’s travel stories.
Joey Giraud
I don’t even like ABL ever since she jumped down my throat over some perceived slight, but dang she is a very pretty woman.
Tokyokie
I though Rev. Jackson was exuding rakish charm more than gravitas in that photo. NTTAWWT.
taylormattd
@lamh35: Why yes it is.
@Joey Giraud: She’s a hottie.
Frivolous
Gosh. ABL is so pretty. :)
I’m glad you had such a good time. And I clicked on your link to up your traffic rate.
RP
Thanks to the horrible Obama and his decision to regulate every aspect of our society, I think you need a license for those.
Lojasmo
Aside from being whip smart, you are a lovely looking person. I hope you’re getting regular tail. (too much, too soon?)
Klaus Kinky
Wow. Gorgeous pic, ABL.
General Stuck
Well, you sure look shiny and happy, ABL.
News from the front!!
Romney campaign shoots self in other foot, today. And offers some more clown soup for the parade
Only candidate in the world that can wank off and dig a deeper hole at once. You give Bloody Bill the sneering bejeebies, Mitt. No way to run a war, or campaign.
ABL
@lamh35: I don’t think you’re ready for this jelly.
AnnaN
Cleavagetastic!
ABL
@Joey Giraud: I apologize! (maybe…)
Darkrose
Did anyone else see John and ABL on CNN? It was during Obama’s speech, in a crowd pan shot. I wasn’t sure until now–that dress is very….memorable.

@Darkrose: Do you remember what bit of the speech? Maybe you could find it online.
MikeJ
@General Stuck: Romney used the word “military” twice and mentioned taxes (all in reference to cutting them) three times.
stinger
Your photos are at cross-purposes with your nom de net, as I have never seen you with anything but a huge smile on your face. The anger must be all inside. Gorgeous dress!

Imani, you are just glowing in that photo with Jesse. Btw, your joint takes a long time to load on mobile version and I couldn’t figure out how to leave a comment. So FYWP?
I was supposed to inherit some money from croakhed wingnut relations which I intended to blow on uterati warriors and suchlike to properly dishonor their memory, but that never happened and instead I’m keeping an underemployed homeless girl fed. I feel u about losing income to activism as that is my life right now. I wish I could do it full time but the union can’t afford it and I can’t forgo all of my income. Wah. Wah.
(Are you listening, George Soros?)
scav
@stinger: One should generally beware a foe that is smiling, they’re generally well-armed well-trained, know something you don’t and can wield their anger as an additional blade. I prefer ABL on our side.
AHH onna Droid
@General Stuck: Utter. Fraud.
lamh35
@ABL: Girl I’m glad I’m at home cause I laughed my ass off just now!
patrick
I agree. I hope for his sake you let Cole play motorboat a little bit.
MikeBoyScout
After all the photos from the Bloggerhood of the Traveling Anti-Pants (h/t danah gaz up at 6), it is readily apparent to all that the whole “Angry” thing is just some marketing schtick.
You’re not “Angry”. You are lovely.
General Stuck
@MikeJ:
I suppose in Mitt’s mind, the term “military” and “troops” do mean the same thing. But only one of things can contract with Haliburton, and the other is what he nor his sons will never die as/ GI – government issue. that is peasant class in Romney’s world.
RoonieRoo
Glad you are back and I’m looking forward to your posts after you rest up.
Anna in PDX
Lovely photos, very cool pic with Rev. Jackson. I love “bloggerhood of the traveling anti-pants” – that needs to become a new addition to the rolling subheader thing at the top.
paradox
I approve of that picture.
Mary G
Did Rev. Jackson make you put on the sweater to cover up your boobs as a condition of taking the picture?
ABL
@seanindc: Shouldn’t it be “+2”?
ABL
@AHH onna Droid: Soros is sleeping in the job. I haven’t gotten my Obama operative stipend in lo these many months.
@Mary G: His assistant did, actually! Cory didn’t seem to mind though… :)
Thanks for the kind comments everyone.
Patricia Kayden
Glad you had a good time, ABL. But you still have to get John in a photo where he smiles. That’s your job before you return to Cali.
red dog
…and the purpose of this visit for which BJ solicited funds was for all you guys to party and have wardrobe misfunctions or functions and not post anything worth reading. A normal college weekend for most. We been conned.
kc
Looks like you had a great time! You don’t look even a bit angry in those pics …
NCSteve
Man, usually a woman has to be pregnant or getting married to glow like that. (Not but what those things aren’t often still the same thing, and in that order, where I come from).
Um, so, is there anything else you should tell us about this trip?
Rex Everything
Tigold bitties!
chrome agnomen
i am an expert at washing off charlotte!
LT
Is ABL still on Raw Story?
JustRuss
I gotta say you’re about the happiest angry lady I’ve ever seen. One of the prettiest, too!
Narcissus
We’re all trying to think of the magic combination of words that will make you fall in love with us ABL
So far I got nothin
I don’t think it’s tigold bitties

Is it homina homina?

@hep kitty: greenwald is a paultard…nothing about him is progressive

@red dog:
And this is different from your average Balloon Juice day?
RedKitten
Bewbs! Yay! You look amazing ABL, and that colour is scrumptious on you. I’m glad you had such a good time!
ABL
@red dog: Where should I send your refund?
Joey Giraud
@ABL:
Appreciated and accepted. It was one of those things; ready for a fight and misidentifying the enemy. I’ve done that.
valency
Whenever I read an ABL post, I always imagined someone looking like Skunk Anansie frothing at the mouth with rage. The real ABL doesn’t look anything like as angry as her net persona would indicate. It’s false advertising, dammit.
Matt Smith
@valency: @valency: I was thinking the same thing.
