No comment.

[Grits]

Our household is divided on politics, and of course each of us KNOWS that he or she is right. Discussions are frequent and lively. I tend to vote for peace, love, and environmental regulations, while Mr. Grits can most politely be described as pro-business. He has taken every opportunity this election season to bait me into incoherence (though I confess I may have overstated some of my concerns). Last night he commented that we don’t really need a Labor Commissioner, and what does the Department of Agriculture really do?

We had a number of very important state and local elections in addition to the big ones, most of which went his way. I’ve met our new Lieutenant Governor. He is a prick. Luckily he doesn’t get to do much. Most confusing statement of last night: our governor-elect announced that “[We] will be number one again.” Number one at what? Sweet potato production? Was he talking about football?

This morning I was looking over Mr. Grits’ shoulder at the paper (which he hates me doing but does not remark upon), when amongst the election results I saw a photo of a cute little rabbit with a bunch of grass hanging out of its mouth. I thought it might be a comment on Washington State’s legalizing weed.

“What’s the deal with the bunny?” I asked.

“It’s about to be shot by a Republican governor.”

- One little known way to agitate one's spouse in TN - Offer to buy his car tags for him during the first term the opposing team is entrenched in the White House.

The Presidential Re-election committee is set up where you buy your tags for your car. For one dollar more than your tags cost, you pledge your hope that they will remain there another four years.

The grateful entrenched will inundate him with extremely large photographs of themselves thanking him for his support.

My husband got an enormous picture of Chaney smiling like a possom, W, and one of W & Laura together, then a smaller one of Chaney and his daughter - even the postage had to cost them much more than the buck I donated on my husband's behalf.

I was kept rolling laughing for weeks while giant picture after giant picture rolled in thanking him for his wonderful support and Col B. tried to figure out how they got under the false impression he would ever help them stay in the White House.

Finally his eyes fell suspiciously on me as the culprit source. Now he won't allow me to pick up his tags for him ever again - (saves me 60 bucks annually) But I still have that giant picture of Chaney I can pull out at parties and tell the story, so that dollar I spent just keeps paying itself back.

Surprisingly enough, Col. B. gets a good laugh out of it now too, lol.

Well, you'll be alright for a dartboard for a while won'tcha... ...

[ghastley]

You don't throw darts at a picture of Cheney, you blast it with a shotgun. That's what he would do if the positions were reversed.

[King Coin]

At least mALX is getting some use out of what must be an ugly picture!

[McBadgere]

Well, just to show that we over here have as much affection for Dubbl-yuh as you over there...Well, our own former premier fared just as well... ...

Watch this...

I'm attempting NaNoWriMo for the first time in my life.

7,883 words later I have learned that I can, if I push myself, crank out 800 words per day, on average.

I've also learned that my writing style is probably too spare, or my current work is too sparse, for padding out to fifty thousand words.

Oh well, I can say I had a go.

[King Coin]

I had to google what that was, but it sounds awesome! Good luck with that.

I just had some pumpkin pancakes. I'm not usually a fan of pancakes, but those were pretty good.

Lol, but then I'd have nothing to pull out at parties except my tape of an Appalacian Elvis impersonator. (One of the funniest vids anyone could ever see).

I have been very careful never to wear deer antler hats around when Chaney is known to be outdoors. Of course, I don't have any goodies on him like Harry Whittington probably did.

In the same respect, I am careful not to leave my briefcase around Hillary Clinton right before walking in parks like Vince Foster mistakenly did. Would hate to inadvertently be found to have commited suicide by by a gunshot wound from 3 feet away (confirmed by odd typed notes mysteriously placed inside my attache that haven't got any fingerprints on them).

Yum! Pancakes!

It took a while for Col. B. to laugh about it, he was livid for about 3 days, lol. He is a staunch Democrat, to the point where he dominates every pre-election period with all kinds of propaganda trying to sway my vote to match his. It seriously gets to be a headache, hence when I was buying his tags and the sweet lady offered to donate a buck toward W's continued enjoyment of the White House - couldn't resist the temptation.

[King Coin]

...couldn't resist the temptation.

That would be a tough one to pass up on!

[mALX]

So, this morning Col. B. gets up and makes himself a spam sandwich and bowl of Campbell's Tomato soup. Being in his newfound lazy state, Col. B. decides to use his soup spoon to dip out the mayo and spread it on his sandwich.

The microwave binged that his soup was ready. So, without rinsing the spoon, he stirs the soup and heats it some more. Then he flings pepper in it and sits down to eat.

I pass by his den and he is sitting up staring into his bowl of soup.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

"Something isn't right about this soup!"

I come look, and white stuff is floating around in it. Now, I don't know he used the spoon in the mayo. So I told him not to eat it, it looked like moldy tomatoes or something.

So, Col. B. gets out another can of tomato soup and heats it - stirring it with the same spoon. Same thing happens.

"This soup tastes funny too! Will you taste it and see what you think?"

"That's a big N.O."

Next thing I see, Col. B. is digging cans out of the garbage to see if those white specks are in the stuff left in the can.

So, about 2.5 hours later, Col. B. comes sheepishly into the kitchen and confesses the spoon had mayo on it. It took him that long to figure out what the white stuff was.

Had we been in a restaurant, no telling what we would have suspected. URK!

Anyway, so that's how my day started out.
