Did ya vote yet?????????

As usual, this blog entry goes all over the place..................

My Aunt Shirley's service was yesterday.

Her ashes were buried next the her husband (my uncle Bob) in a quiet Mennonite cemetery. Very simple service graveside, it was nice to see all my relatives, hopefully we can all meet again under better circumstances sometime soon............

I haven't voted yet. The polls haven't opened because it's about 4 AM on Tuesday as I write this.

Yvonne Ward, 63, and her husband, Rex, 65, were disgusted to discover that the package they thought was a disposable towel was actually a prophylactic......

............I spit my milk out when I read that and almost ruined another keyboard.

I don't wanna judge, but Yvonne (the lady in the picture) doesn't look like she's in the mood for safe sex anytime soon...........I just want to know what "legitimate lovemaking" is. I wonder if you need a permit or something.

I just installed Google Earth 4 on my laptop. It's kinda neat being able to see anywhere in the world. I bookmarked our daughter's college dorm near Allentown.....the level of detail is amazing.

If I ever win the lottery, I'm gonna do this at least once. I've never been to Mexico, and I don't own a fancy car.

Hand fed hummingbirds.

I love sites like this. Just drag the blue slider...........

"New Rules For Democrats"

1. When they say Democrats will raise taxes, you say,

"We have to. Because someone spent all the money in the world cutting Paris Hilton's taxes and not killing Osama bin Laden. In just 6 years, the national debt has doubled. You can't keep spending money you don't take in -- that's not even elementary economics, that's just called 'Don't Be Michael Jackson.'"

2. When they say the terrorists want the Democrats to win, you say:

"Are you insane? George Bush has been a terrorist's wet dream! He inflames radical hatred against America, and then run on offering to protect us from it. It's like a a guy throwing shit on you, and then offering to protect you from the flies."

3. When they say cut and run, or defeat-o-crat, you say:

"Bush lost the war. Period. All this nonsense about 'the violence is getting worse over there because they're trying to influence the election' -- no, it's getting worse because you drew up the post-war plans on the back of a cocktail napkin on Applebee's! And of course Democrats WANT to win, but that's impossible now that you've ethnically cleansed the place by making it unliveable. Just like you did with New Orleans."

4. When they say that actual combat veterans like John Kerry are denigrating the troops, you say:

"You are completely full of shit." Remember when Al Gore caught all that flak for sighing and moaning during the debate? Yeah, don't do that -- just say, "You are full of shit. If I was a troop, the support I would want back home would mainly come in the form of people pressuring Washington to get me out of this pointless nightmare. That's how I would feel supported."

5. When they say Democrats are obstructionists, you say:

"You're welcome. Sometimes good people have to intercede to prevent dire consequences. You wouldn't like to think of ME as an obstructionist, but what if Roseanne had offered to sing? So I would be happy to frame this debate as a fight between the obstructionists and the enablers." There's your talking point: "Vote Republican and you vote to enable George Bush to keep ruling as an emperor. A retarded child emperor, but an emperor."


So Democrats, you've got four days to get out there and CLOSE. And it's not about slogans this time -- although when it comes to slogans, the only one I am prepared to accept from the opposition is:

"THE REPUBLICAN PARTY -- WE'RE SORRY."

HBO's "Hacking Democracy" is now online......watch it here.

Someone at the White House wants to alter your perception of history.

This fellow blogger has the right idea.

Till later..........................and go vote.
