On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Cash, have you seen www.YesWeCarve.com? Lots of inspiration, and templates for your politically active squash.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Yes, Theo! I saw their stuff on Twitter and am going to carve an Obama Pumpkin. Just need to choose which one. I should do one for us and campaign hq--they don't have any yet.

I'm going to do this one and this one and possibly this one.

Congratulations to the BonBobs!

I am not in bandom, but I do enjoy the occasional picspam that flashes across my flist.

I dearly hope that your helpful ER visit is still being helpful, ita.

There was more, but my brain is a sieve.

Love the Obama pumpkins!!

Hee! To me, the whole pumpkin-movement is indicative of the positive direction that Obama's campaign as a whole has. It's happy-making and creative and gives me warm fuzzies.

Yup. For kicks, I googled McCain pumpkin images and got bupkis.He doesn't inspire, apparently.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Interesting article here about changing party identification. Basic thesis: the Dems have become the party of the economically dynamic parts of the country - the metropolitan centres - while the struggle towns of the Rust Belt and the Appalachians are becoming redder. [link]

ION, this site gives an interesting graphical representation of the changing state of the polls over the election campaign. [link] It uses the data from electoral-vote.com.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

He sat down so I could tell him what treatment regimen I was on, and it seemed important to him that I was being properly treated outside the ER as well as within.

And it worked. I'm home with no migraine, and I didn't have to fight anyone for meds while in the ER.

That sounds like a miracle, frankly.
