The Funniest Hats of the Democratic National Convention
These guys might be on to something. It turns out if you put your support for Barack Obama on a ridiculous hat on your head, you still have your hands free for clapping.

Children have some sort of magical power to do things that grownups can’t — if some jerk stood on the balcony overlooking the escalator and waved and said goodbye to every single person who went by, it could easily ruin your trip to the mall.
