Happy Halloween

At first Oldest wanted to be Rocky and Youngest wanted to be a lawyer. They changed their minds when they put on these masks in Target and got laughs from everyone in the store.
What those people were laughing at…I have no idea.

Don’t Forget to Vote

I’ll do anything to get an “I Voted” sticker for my bustier. Check it.
3:30pm – Arrive at Jimmie B. Keel Library . Stop at Obama table and request Jimmy Buffet tickets. “They’re free, right?” Volunteer Gestapo snorts. By the time she’s done with me, I’ve promised to canvass, make phone calls, wave signs, and buy [...]

What Could You Do With Sarah’s Spending Money?

Sarah Palin – A Neiman Marxist
What would you do if you had $150,000 to spend? Buy a house? Pay for prescription drugs?
The Palin wardrobe in one month cost more than the average American household spends on clothes in 80 years.
“Spending $150,000 for a one month wardrobe while painting yourself as a ‘hockey mom’ or the [...]

October Surprise?

Is it possible that John McCain was involved in an accident in 1964 that could have left someone injured or dead?
I’m not one who buys in to conspiracy theories, but Vanity Fair isn’t exactly The Inquirer. When they requested accident information from the Navy, they received this response:
“The patient admission record logs that you seek [...]

That’s Right. I Like Jimmy Buffett.

Tickets can only be obtained by visiting one of the Campaign for Change Early Vote [...]

Less Than a Week to Go

Did Anyone Who Attended Chamberlain High School in 1987 *Not* Know Darby?

I went to high school with Darby and now she’s fighting cancer. Although the prognosis isn’t good, she is responding with courage, faith, and love. She is an inspiration to us all.
Darby was always nice. No one I know has ever had anything bad to say about her. Do you know how rare that is? [...]

Canvassing for Obama with Eight Year-Olds

Usually, I just point to my hair.
If the interviewer wants more, I talk about canvassing for Michael Dukakis in Florida in [...]

I Get the Best Emails – Ongoing

A woman contacted me and I’m bummed because I accidentally deleted her email.
This about sums it up, though – she’s pissed.
Lady with Too Much Time on her Hands read my nonsense about Tiny Angry Man and wants to set the record straight. Let’s see if I can remember the highlights. She wants me to know [...]

A Night Out with Me

“Momma, you should go out tonight and have some fun for yourself. Stay out late,” Youngest said.

Oldest concurred. “Go to dinner and see a movie. And then have a few drinks afterward.”
I looked at my parents.
“Don’t hurry back,” they said.
I grabbed the latest edition of Rolling Stone, put on my Hot Mama jeans, and took [...]
