NO SOLICITATIONS

Mrs. LuLac's nerves are being frayed in this election. First off, the robo calls are driving her nuts. Second, the prospect of visits to the LuLac homestead from potenial campaigners is not something she wanted to deal with. So last Sunday she put a note on the door saying "No political solicitations". After posting the sign, she went to the grocery store. I offered to go but she wanted "me" time. On the way home, while unloading the groceries, she was stoppped by a Korean couple, who identified themselves as such asking her to support John McCain. Despite the sign, she gladly told them she was leaning toward the GOP ticket. The couple told her they were volunteering for McCain because both grew up in a country that was not free and that they shuddered to think what would happen to America if they had to repeat that process. The couple then asked about me and she told them I was leaning toward that "liberal, fascist, rock star, Greek column embracing, speech making, no content, dream weaving, empty suit, disaster in the making, Jimmy Carter light, ego driven candidate Obama". Taken aback, they politely asked her to "work on me" to change my mind and exited the street never to be seen again. So much for signage.

DID YOU KNOW?

Jimmy Carter won his election on November 4th, 1976? This election is on Nov. 4th, 2008. Just a factoid.
