All those dinner things sound good. Maybe I should just go to trader joes.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I am so sick of gubenatorial and senatorial ads
I'm sick of coming home to messages on my machine and my mailbox stuffed with flyers telling me how evil and liberal our incumbent Democrat representative is. It's ridiculous that liberal has somehow become an invective. (And I realize it's been this way since the 2004 presidential campaign, at least. Still, annoying.)
Weird thing is I'm not getting any pro-her stuff at all. So either she's not worried, or else some computer system somewhere has me labeled as a die-hard Republican.

We had the phone bomb during the primaries. There was some fairly vocal bellyaching in the press and letters to the editor, so maybe that got through. They haven't started back up. I hope they don't.
Ads started quirkily enough with the republican senatorial candidate running one that said his opponent would accuse him of hating/kicking puppies and that he likes puppies (complete with a dog-cuddle.) I give the campaign points for creativity, if not content. It rapidly devolved from there.

Good luck, Shrift!
OMG so much work to do.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think that started in the '88 presidential campaign.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

It solidified in '88, but I'd say it started with the Reagan campaigns.

My public defender friend just sent me a picture of her desk and office. It involves a phone covered in postit debris, no computer (!) piles and piles in disarray of case files, an exploding bulletin board,rolodex, a plaque proclaiming "Suck it up", a lovely photo she took when interning at Ketchikan, Alaska and... a taxidermied 2 point buck head. Named Floyd. Wearing a bow tie. On loan from a friend who shares an office with someone opposed to "anti-preserved American."
Maybe you have to know her, but I spent 5 minutes laughing hysterically.

Maybe what I'm thinking is that Dukakis denied the acusation of being a liberal - which also was a turning point....

Always Anti-fascist!
Oh, I thought possibly that AS wrote that stuff too because then I would say that somebody who can write witty banter might not write good sketches...different skill and all that. But I can't comment on the actual sketches...haven't seen the latest yet. Lee Atwater...died screaming of bone cancer...couldn't happen to a nicer fella. What? When I hold a grudge it stays held. What can I say?

Nah, you're right that the word itself got to be almost an expletive with the Dukakis campaign -- I was just thinking of the way it was prefigured by the attack on what had been widely assumed-to-be-good social goods and social programs in both Reagan/Carter and then Reagan/Mondale and... god I'm dating myself, aren't I?
