Awkward Moments With The Daily Show Corespondents
In case you haven’t heard, the RNC is going on literally in our back yard. We’ve been wandering around for the past couple of days but honestly, there really isn’t anything going on outside the fence.

“You know you are totally and utterly mad when you are tracing a whole room with one LED alone in the middle of the night,†says Janne.
