This is where the magic happens

Saturday I made my way downtown to the Obama campaign headquarters to get my yard sign. Yeah, I know, but better late than never.

There was a lot of activity, looked like they might be setting up for a speaker of some kind. Lots of clusters of people talking, each with handfuls of papers and flyers.

After telling the nice ladies at the front table what I was there for, one handed me a sign, and had me fill out the donation paperwork. After inquiring if I'd also like some bumper-stickers, I told her no thanks, I already had one, and added that I haven't put a bumper sticker on my vehicle since some time back in the '70's.

She said, me neither. And now I have three of them on my car.

I told her I had never put up a yard sign for anyone in my life.

She said, me neither.

I told her I'd never even ventured into a campaign office of any type, for any reason before.

She said, me neither.

Turns out both of the women working the front desk (both in their sixties) have never, ever volunteered for a candidate in their lives before Mr. Obama came along. And they seem to be loving every minute of it

Talk about a candidate for CHANGE! I love this guy more with each passing day.

Because I'm lame like that...

The best I can offer you is this post from Cajun Boy. Seriously, why waste your time checking on my blog, when you could be reading his?

(Fifty bonus points if you can watch all of the redneck video towards the bottom. I sure as hell can't. The only thing worse than an ignorant redneck is a DRUNK ignorant redneck. Ye gods.)

Is you serious?

So Tina Fey is a sexist. Huh. Who knew?

The only Palin I'd ever vote for

A friend of mine shared this, and it actually made me squeal with glee. (Spare me your sarcastic comments, please.)

I think changing the citizenship requirements for presidential elections may be our only hope.

I never thought I'd see the day...

...when P. Diddy (or whatever the hell he's calling himself now) would provide the best political commentary in this year's election coverage. Check out the sidebar to the left if you've been living under a rock and haven't heard this clip yet. The complete video is here, but that sound bite is The. Best. Part.

Thanks to Cajun Boy for the best laugh I've had in months!

More word association

Because I'm much too lazy to actually write anything, here we go again.

1. Concentration :: camp


2. Relocated :: Jews (sorry, see #1)
   


3. Clot :: blood


4. Joints :: aching


5. Satellite :: office


6. Money back :: guarantee


7. Kittens :: delicious


8. Shady :: Slim


9. Drain :: clogged
   


10. Stroke :: of genius!

Be sure to blame Unconscious Mutterings for this.

Free Association

This new exercise in free association was recommended by my friend Lisa, and is courtesy of Unconscious Mutterings. Lord knows I could use some psychoanalysis right now, so let's give it a whirl.

1. Questioning :: Everything


2. Immunity :: No one has it
   


3. Online dating :: Scary


4. Calcium :: Bones


5. Dressing :: Salad


6. Bucket :: Walrus


7. Stain :: Talking


8. Advanced :: Retreated


9. Dramatic :: Queen
   


10. Self-medication :: Necessary

Well, no real breakthroughs there. Perhaps I'll try again later.
