Are you kidding me!? You can't work out who to vote for!?
I'm reminded of this....
David Sedaris, in the New Yorker:
I look at these people [undecided voters] and can’t quite believe that they exist… I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. “Can I interest you in the chicken?” she asks. “Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it?” To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked. I mean, really, what’s to be confused about?
do as your mama says! (i think mimi's your mama) otherwise we coud have some winking, moose-killing*, 4-colleges-n-6-years-degreed,half-wit for President! AND a non-college educated "first dude" who wants to succeed from the union - OMG!!!
I have had the nickname Mimi since my baby sister gave it to me when I was five--so sixty years. Before that I was Missy. After I got hooked on Sam pics, I found out I shared a nickname with Beth's mom, who is a bit younger than me, I think.
Beth, I hear ya with the upcoming election. I know it's not "cool" to be anti Barack, but once again, we're forced to choose between two sub-par candidates. (note: I am neither a Republican or conservative)
Do his terrorist associations not scare you a little bit? My husband was in the Air Force for 10 years and had top secret clearance and they did a more extensive background check on my husband than they have NoBama...he literally could not work for the FBI or CIA with the associations he has had in his past. I know everybody wants "change"...well, if he wins, get ready! It's change you don't want. Off my soap box. Just read some about his past, I can't believe he could run a country, much less be commander in chief. Think 9/11 was bad? It could get worse really quickly! At least be informed if you are going to vote :)
Sorry Beth... I just can't let right-wing propaganda poo poo go without at least, calling it what it is, which is NOT factual. I will be very tame... Obama does NOT associate with terrorists - look up the people they are talking about and you will see; and even the McCain camp will admit it if pressed. They make suggestions and inuendos to sway the less informed. So yes, please be informed and vote.

I hope you are kidding, as Barack Obama is the only rational choice in this election. Even Sam could tell you that.

OMG. I am shocked to find out the true identity of Mimi. I totally thought it was your mom too!
