I saw a bumpersticker with Boris’ face saying: “DO NOT VOTE FOR MOOSE AND SQUIRREL!”

No, not that anything is wrong with that. Let me give my laughter some context.

I was going nuts as to what was the background noise in the interview and was not close enough to the TV to see her wearing the bracelets. The gypsy bangles clued me in.

Finally, the reference reminded me of when I was at the UN Food and Agricultural Organization in Rome. My daily walk included encounters with actual gypsies who would mob an individual with distraction (noisy bracelets and bright scarves) while trying to steal from your purse or belongings. I grew tough to the tactics quickly. So, the reference had a memory associated with attempted commitment of crime against me by the tactic of distraction. The “Bangles” reference just gave me a new context to view Palin in light of my experience.

Go Jane! I needed that laugh! Good thing I had already finished drinking my coffee! Vote Obama-Biden because McCain and Palin want to divide the country. How does the “community Organizer” look now Caribou Barbie?

Vote No on 8 because civil rights are for every American. They are not reserved exclusively for “real Americans” who pass the Bush-Cheney-McCain-Palin rally background checks.

Yum. I add that smoke flavoring to indoor grilled hamburgers sometimes. Be careful, though, you don’t want to attract carnivores.

Your young daughter is very perceptive. This situation has been going on a very long time. Hell Bobby Kennedy tried to focus on the situation in Appalachia as well as Jessie Jackson.

The Republicans have been able to capture their votes based on “God, gun, gays and now race”. Many of the old timers (those who had been in unions) seem to get the way Republicans have been able to convince the younger voters in these regions to vote against their own self interest. Let’s hope that is not the case this time. Although I have become convinced the youth vote (have not seen this many young people involved since the mid 70’s) will trump the bigot vote.

Maybe add some smoke flavoring for smell enhancement. . .
