(in honor of Ali's mishap, please, I am begging you, watch this hilarious video!)
Today started out ridiculously. Well, I guess it all started last night when Ali slipped on a bag in our room and pretty much broke her ankle.
It wasn't bothering her too much last night, but when she woke up this morning it was VERY swollen and rather purple. So, we skipped going to
the Holocaust Museum and got breakfast at the BK next door and ran to CVS to get 'ole Al an Ace bandage! I wrapped her ankle up real good,
almost too good, to be honest. Well, I mean, her toes did turn purple, but that's beside the point. The point of this story here, is that I got to push
her around in a wheel chair all day! It really was quite an experience. I mean, the looks people give you are just silly! Plus, it's rather ridiculous the
amount of people that don't stop and let you pass by, or ask if you need any help.
We made it just in time to see Ann Coulter speak, and that was just fabulous!!! I am so thrilled I was able to see her speak, even though it was in the
overflow room. And, the only reason we even made it in there was because we go to cut line to get to the little wheel chair elevator! That was a definite
plus. That also helped us out when we were going to see Rush speak as well!
We spent a lot of time waiting in line to get Ali's book signed by Ann, to only find out that she was done and we needed to return at 4:15, so we left and
went to watch the film Media Malpractice, which was based on how Obama and Palin were portrayed in the media during the election and how unfair
things were, etc. We watched the full length, uncut version of an interview with Palin. She wasn't prepared at all for what they were throwing at her and
it was just so impressive how she held her own and responded to questions and videos they showed her.
We left early from Rush's speech because we didn't want to get caught in that traffic with a wheel chair. I ran into enough ankles for the day...
We re-packed and then headed to dinner, which was eaten at this Indian restaurant across the street from our hotel. It was so good! Russel was a RIOT!
He kept us laughin' the whole night, talking about politics and tzars, well...ya know. It was just a good time.
Unfortunately, the battery to my camera broke so I don't have any pictures from today. Oh, well. Here's one I meant to put up the first day!
