Some shots of me stalking politicians and riding the rides with the lovely Karen Brooks at the media party at the amusement park. I bullshitted my way into the Salon.com after-party by saying I was Ana Marie Cox. Click here (YOU SHOULD ALREADY HAVE THAT LINK BOOKMARKED) to see what happened after I met PA Gov. Ed Rendell (the last Hillary hold-out).

That guy in the cowboy hat is CO Sen. Ken Salazar. I would never have known that if my friend at the Rocky Mountain News hadn’t pointed him out. Same with Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper (whose wife used to write for Texas Monthly). When I told him, what a coincidence — I work for Texas Monthly!, he asked me if I was a writer. I told him, no, I’m the editor of texasmonthly.com! He looked at me like, back off, little troll.

The group shot is me with my fellow Medill alums, who have all gone on to become brilliant and celebrated journalists. (That’s Josh Green of The Atlantic on the left.) I, of course, told them that I have replaced Maureen Dowd at the New York Times.

Bonus shot, bottom photo: Ed Rendell and some TV reporter’s boobs.
