Politics

This is a photo I took of the Barack O'Bama rally last night. really. I guess I should have studied my camera manual before attempting a night picture... So use your imagination. It was wild! I decided to go to the rally with my pal Mary, and we left plenty early, but I think just about everyone in town decided to go too! A normally 10 minute drive took an hour and 15 minutes. It was the biggest traffic jam I'd ever seen here. Once we finally got there still an hour or so early, the line outside was way way long, and just kept getting longer. People kept standing in the line even knowing full well we weren't going to get in. It was so dang cold too. amazing. The other thing that was amazing is that they weren't blasting any songs or chants or anything, but never the less the people stayed in line just in case... Mary tried to get people in the spirit by singing "if you're happy and you know it, clap your hands.." No one could get into it. (including me, frankly) Anyhooski.... There were thousands of people who did get in and thousands of us who didn't, so Barack came out and talked for a couple minutes to the frozen throngs,(see photo above..,use your imagination) and it was great. I hate to put my enthusiasm behind anyone anymore, as it seems if I like a candidate, TV show, etc it's the kiss of death.


This is why I'm supporting my dog Sparky for president. She is hardworking and has strong family values. She's all about recycling (she'll eat anything!) and she's all about "change". More on this to come...
