Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Oooh!
They are reading The Raven on my radio. I love this halloween tradition.
I saw a rattletrap old green pickup on the road today. Around here you see a lot of these who hire out for rubbish hauling. They often inspire fear with their tottering makeshift bedwalls and precarious piles. What was notable was that the plywood walls encompassing the bed were painted amateurishly with US flags and read "JUST VOTE" and on the tailgate "VOTE 11-04-08!" "TUESDAY" It was just charming to see. An everyday citizen compelled to spread the message.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Those seem like pretty practical professional dancer aspirations! I mean, there's a ton of work, compared to almost any other kind of dancing.
She had a list she made up when she was a teenager and did them all. Rockette was the last one and then she retired to making custom-made dancewear.

we just carved a barack o'lantern! SO FUN.
Noah and Grace were dressed as Things 2 and 1 respectively. Not so down with the wigs. But we had fun at her party.
Now we're going to a community halloween event Noah just pulled 8 wipes out of the container. Gotta go.

Our wings are not tired.
One of the puppies is now attacking the jacko-lantern. Awesome.

Thrive to spite them
Mom voted early and she's gotten a lot of last minute campgain stuff from the Republicans (she's one, voted for Obama). Including a plea for money from Palin. There was a reply letter and an envelope, she talked about returning it with the statement --- Not just No but Hell No!
The Republicans are going to have do some major changing to win her back for Presidential elections.

Wee little raaawr lion!
My dad gets really cranky about the DNC (he has Issues with them) asking him for money, so whenever they do, he sends back a screed explaining why he'll give money to individual candidates, but not to the party. Probably doesn't do anything but maybe give someone something different to read and give him some satisfaction.
I swear, he's going to end up the cranky old man at city council meetings...or running them. My mom is trying to get him to run for an opening on the local water board. The guy who is stepping down wants him too as well.

Oh jesus. Getting GOP fearmongering campaign ads. I guess I'm technically close enough to PA, because Md is blue and B'more is REALLY blue.

Oh man. I just rolled out 8 bagels for tomorrow morning and my arms ache. I forgot just how stiff bagel dough is.
I am thankful EVERY DAY that I live in a blue state surrounded by blue states and have Tivo. The only political ads I've seen are ones that have been linked on LJ or mocked by Jon Stewart.
