So in case you weren't at home to watch the White House Correspondents Dinner last night, or, like me, you don't have TV, here are the videos from C-SPAN, including the "House of Cards" spoof everyone is talking about.
While not the best ever, this dinner, like (almost) all of them, was hilarious. Perhaps my favorite thing about the broadcast was not even the jokes themselves, but the fact that C-SPAN actually included the Nerd Prom hashtag (#nerdprom) on their graphics. Its' nice to know in this age of technologically-induced informality and potentially-false perception of familiarity that cable's national government access channel is reaching out to all of us young civics nerds. All twelve of us.
The "House of Cards" bit:
President Obama:
