Weird...



No idear how many times I passed this sign with the tombstone on it before I finally got curious enough to read it carefully. I wasn't sure if it was an election sign or a Halloween decoration. At some point I read the words "for coroner", and then the name "Lewis". Was it a gag campaign sign? Al Lewis, maybe?

Well, my curiosity finally grew to the point that I Googled to find out if we were electing a coronoer this November. And yeah, it turns out that we are.

What really matters

I decided today that today was a good day to take Brady to the dog park. There's been so much else to deal with around here--stuff that is never really *done*--that I've been neglecting something really important. Taking time out to make the collie happy.


Mission accomplished.

Got OBAMA sign?


listener took this photo in Maine

Somebody stole our Obama sign today. We paid $8 for it, too. What's more, somebody stole one of Daughter's Obama signs today too. Hubby (who is there helping with renovations) says she went right down to the local police station and reported it. I said, "Hey! I should do that! Where is ours?"

Hmmm...I guess we're a bit more rural than Daughter is.  What really makes me mad, though, is that under the official Obama sign was my original hand-made one, and they took that too.

So I am going to go work at the Dem office later this week and see if they have any left. (Doubtful.)  Failing that I may have to make another one.  (Hey Reed, got any left??)

Friday Open Thread

John Cleese on Sarah Palin:

"What fascinates me is: People watching her on television – can they not see that she's basically learned certain speeches? She does them very well, she's got a very good memory, but it's like a nice-looking parrot," Cleese told the Seesmic.com website.

"Because the parrot speaks beautifully and kind of says "aw, shucks" every now and again, but doesn't really have any understanding of the meaning of the words it is producing, even though it's producing them very accurately."

Cleese added: "I mean, Monty Python could have written this. And I'm sorry, Michael Palin, to say you're not the funniest Palin any more, but you're not."




Actually, I think Cleese give parrots short shrift here...

I was watching a Nature program about puppies the other day. Winnie here was quite impressed by the sound quality.

Yes on Issue 5

From my inbox


Good evening!

The national payday-lending lobby currently has its 5th ad on the air. We have our first -- on cable only. The Is 391% Too High? Vote Yes on Issue 5 Committee is leading an uphill fight for the YES vote on Issue 5 and we'd really appreciate it if you could post our new ad on your blog.



Two additional clever, funny and very low budget videos we put together are available here: http://www.yesonissue5.com/videos.html

Thank you very much!

Kelan
