The ending of all endings!!

I woke up today after a late night last night expecting a tearful morning at the holocaust museum, only to have it totally ruined by Ali and her ankle. Of course I'm joking I couldn't have asked for better rommies, they are all awesome and I love them. Once we finally did roll out of the hotel and make it to CPAC it was just in time to hear Ann Coulter speak, using Ali's gimpness to our advantage we cut to the front of the line and managed to get a spot in the overflow room. I wish I could have heard her whole speech however, I had to bolt to the Conservative Women Luncheon, where again amazing food was served, and even better the speaker was great. Bay Buchanan was really cool, I really enjoyed her speech. One of the things she said that stuck with me was that you should hold the power you hold and don't give it up, even if people don't treat you how you believe you should be treated do your job and do it better than anyone else. After the lunch we went and watch Media Malpractice, which I recommend everyone sees, it truly does show a lot of the the bias the media held toward Palin. It also shows the power the media has over the American people, by interviewing Obama voters, you saw their ignorance and the sway the media had over their decisions. After that we returned to the overflow room to listen to Rush Limbaugh, another amazing and hilarious speaker, who unfortunately we did not get to stay the whole time for but was still great none the less. To end the amazing day of speakers and videos we traveled to India (or across the street) for some lovely Indian food, accompanied by my roommates and Russell, we closed the place down, laughing and carrying on. So like my title implies it was the ending of all endings and I don't think I would change anything on this trip, well except maybe Ali getting hurt. It was an awesome trip and it gave me a lot to think about, and I hope I get the chance to experience CPAC again and see even more of Washington DC.
