Good Hair Prevails--Just On A Different Head
Okay I wanted Mitt...because let's face it, I loved his beautiful hair. I really really did! So when we got Sarah Palin (dubbed Sarah Barracuda from basketball buddies), you can imagine I'm more than ecstatic, I'm in beautiful-hair-overload, baby! 
It's icing on the cake that she sold the jet on Ebay and she did away with the chef the came with the job, because she could make her own children's sandwiches. Fluffernutters are tricky, so no matter who you like, you have to give her sandwich points!
Seriously, she's amazing, I heard an interview with Glenn Beck several weeks ago and was taken by how smart AND ethical she was. And she brings the energy conservation argument right into her own backyard--hard to beat this choice, old man. Wait! Now that we have Joe Biden on the ticket, can we finally do away with the old jokes? Sheesh! I hope so!
*Jen--I ended my toga party, but I really really liked my toga.

Toga Party Tomorrow - Denver!
*Edit: If it is true, that the podium is supposed to rise up from the floor, all I have to say is: be afraid.
(this is what happens when I sit at the computer too long!)
On a serious note, I read this on another blog (totally paraphrasing here): For all the scrutiny Cindy McCain has been under regarding how many houses her family has, at least that house was not built with other people's money....how much did this mega-shrine cost anyway?

Hillary's Big Adventure Or Obama's Grandmama
Given the alternative in the selective memory dilemma, I dunno. If I was playing along, I think I'd probably maybe for sure go with....Hillary's Big Adventure. Because it's just so darned exciting! It's all about fun fun fun, and I'm sticking with Hillary and Chelsea. Running down the tarmac, ducking, weaving, then hitting the ground with abandon to avoid being riddled with bullet holes by those big meanie snipers.
I didn't know it would get better than "It's 3 am. Do you know what your pastor's been saying...for 20 years?". And if you need justification, you can always mention your typical white grandma.
McCain's kind of a yawner lately. I'm not sure he'd be fun enough to have in the White House for four years. But you know how I am....

All The Good Hair Has Dropped Out....Now What?
If you know me at all, you probably know this isn't a banner day in my eyes. I'm not sure what to do with this now--I think I'll just wait and see who McCain announces will be his running mate before I decide anything at all. But what Romney said in his speech only reiterated why I knew he would be the right man. He said (and I'm paraphrasing) we must NOT retreat in a time of war against our extremist enemies. I fear that more than anything else.

Senators Keep Emailing Me. They Need Me!
I just got this in my email inbox this evening--it was from John Kerry. I know what you're thinking, I keep getting these emails, I must be connected through the rafters! This is just the intro:
Dear Stacey,
I support Barack Obama because he doesn't seek to perfect the politics of Swiftboating -- he seeks to end it.
This is personal for me, and for a whole lot of Americans who lived through the 2004 election.

Sand Art And Border Control, Of Course!
Okay okay before y'all have me sitting in a jar (Bubba's Sis, see what you started?!) I'd better repost. And for the record, they were sand art jars we'll be making. We're in the business of making sand art jars! Not in the sand art jars! But may I take a moment and say I love all of you who would put me in a jar and keep me on your mantles. Now that's friendship.
Speaking of sand art....I've been listening to a lot of the campaign issues over the past several days, both on the television and on the radio. Awhile back I'd decided to support Romney then I pulled away when I realized I didn't know as much as I needed to. Today I've decided I'm definitely supporting Romney. Here are my top 10 Romney Reasons:
1) Border Control
2) Control Fronterizo
3) Border Control
4) Control Fronterizo
5) Border Control
6) Control Fronterizo
7) Looks Like Ken
8) Border Control
9) Control Fronerizo
10) Border Control
So there you have it. I won't bore you silly with too much explanation--but it's on my mind. Say you're born into a family with money...lots and lots of money. Lucky you! And say I wasn't. Hmmm...well no matter. I'm going to declare myself your sister, you'll just have to share no matter what! And I don't care much what havoc it wreaks onto your family, it's my right. I'd much rather move in with you than go to work at helping to build my family up with education and changing the direction we're going in.
It's not okay, what's happening. I don't think the Bush Administration is doing a good job here, either--I can't defend that. And because I feel strongly about protecting our borders doesn't make me insensitive or less compassionate, it's just how I feel.
So....Mitt Romney. For sure. I'm pretty sure.

I'm Ready For Change
That's what the subject line in my inbox read, anyway. And I open it and see it's from Barbra Streisand! She likes me a lot, I know because she emailed me about her change...I'm not sure I can support this, but I can try and talk her out of it. Don't do it, Barbra, noooooo!
Reading it has confused me a little. I realize she doesn't mean 'the' change. And so then I'm confused again. I think maybe she's running and I think "I'll be a pickle on a fishing line...I didn't know that!" But I continue and I see that aha...she just confused me, she's not running, she's not the democrats, when she said "I want to beat the Republicans....and I have never wanted to win so badly.." she probably didn't mean that literally. Babs? Right?
And given that everyone gets confused here and again, I'll give it to her. Like Courtney Love. I remember when she said this: I don't mean to be a diva, but some days you wake up and you're Barbra Streisand.
Totally, Courtney.
I mean, just the other day I woke up and I was Billy Graham. Life's like that. So if Babs says she wants to win, she just woke up that day and was the democratic candidate for President.
I feel her sincerity, and I don't judge that. I'm all over following what you believe in and misguided or not, Babs believes in hanging onto Bill standing with Hillary. You're cool with this, Hillary, right?
Below is the letter she wrote ME in its entirety. Making history is what it's all about, after all, and she included me. I think it's clear she likes my style. I didn't know I help Hillary make history, but you know, it's the humbles ones are always the last to learn.
Dear Stacey,
I want to beat the Republicans in 2008. I'm like you -- I'm ready for change. 
In all the time I have worked to help elect Democrats, I have never wanted to win an election as badly as this one.
I want a president who is principled, strong, and ready to lead from day one. That's why I'm joining Hillary's campaign -- because I think she has what it takes to beat the Republicans and to be a great president.
Although I'm proud to help her make history, I'm not supporting Hillary only because she's a woman. I'm supporting her because she's the most experienced candidate and will give us the leadership we need to move our country forward again. I know you feel as strongly as I do about winning in 2008 because you've been with Hillary every step of the way. She is relying on you to help her win. I want to join her in thanking you for everything you are doing to help Hillary make history. I am so proud to do everything I can to help her too.
Sincerely,Barbra Streisand

I'm Having Company! Yes Indeedy....
We're Coming to Missouri!
Nuh uhh! Who? Who's coming?! OMG OMG my mind is racing all over the place. Where will they stay? What can we find to do together? Will they bring the children--and if so, do they need Niki or Cody to babysit or shall we do family only things? Allergies? How about preferences--out to eat, in to eat? Typing, how long will they be in Missouri--am I going to need to take a few days off work? Gosh there's a lot of planning that goes into this headline--long before I even get to the heart of the message.
Ahhh, it's Hillary. Hillary is coming! Well, not Hillary herself, but Hillary's people. Here's the deal--she's sending her campaign staff to train people like me. She needs me. She even said so. See? Looky right here:
You're an important part of this campaign. And these trainings are a great way to get started organizing. I hope you can make it. I know Hillary can count on you. Thank you for all your support. Sincerely, Guy Cecil National Political and Field Director P.S. Here are the details on the Kansas City Training:
It goes on with the boring details, but you get the idea. I'm thinking, thinking, thinking--I'm an
Senator Barack Hussein Obama refusing to hold his hand over his heart AND refusing to say the Pledge of Allegiance.
This will help. But I can do better, I know I can! What, though? What? Hillary needs me, Bill's boyish and good-natured charm haunts me in my dreams....he'll need me too. Wait....I got this the other day......

I'm all about fairness, so in all fairness, you can click here and find a rundown of explainations. Decide for yourself, that's the way it should be! And when you consider they've been around a ton more people than the average bear, of course there'll be bigger death tolls than we see in our regular cookie-baking lives. But the ages and the manners of death, it's a freaking whole lottalittle alarming. That's all I'm saying....
Gosh I hope I win that receipt scanner/organizer. If I win...if I do, I'm sooo bringing that with me--I think she needs me!
Gotta run--I'm going down to the local restaurant here in town. I hear they're hiring dishwashers. And while dishwashers make the restaurant world go round, I also hear they get paid big. BIG. Then I'm off to train. After all, I am a one very slightly over-sarcastic Midwestern momma bear who is very afraid of what will happen if I don't speak up while I still can important part of this campaign!

Excuse Me, Could You Please Pass The Notebook... and Hold The Losers?
My teachers always told me:
If you have something to say, share it with the whole class:
And always write notes on the back of your hand, don't bring in a whole notebook. Ooops, wait! That was my friend Mike!

Stand By Your Man, Order Carrot Sticks
And WHERE was costume? On vacation? Why wasn't Hillary donning a ponytail, poodle skirt and saddle shoes with a scarf tied around her slender neck? Why didn't Bill take off his letterman jacket and drape it around her shoulders before he sat down and slid in next to her....taking his place at his side of the malt? I'm going to call the Hillary campaign soon as I'm done here, clearly they need me!
