But I already voted !!!!!

October 28th, 2008 · 1 Comment

I really want to send this off to my family.  I don’t think they would see the humor (at least the way I do).  This is actually Ed’s fault – but I like it.

I know W has said that he doesn’t trouble sleeping at night. With everything that she has said, done, and become (actually, I am not sure she became anything she wasn’t already before) over the past 1.5 months, I wonder if SP has problems sleeping at night. Somehow, I doubt that she does.

Tonight, I was part of an estimated 200,000+ gathering to watch Barack Obama give a speech in Berlin. The speech was a little shorter than I had expected, but I really enjoyed what I did hear. He claimed he was speaking as a ‘citizen of the world’ and not a candidate for president, [...]
