At Least it Wasn't Torched

Rating: NSS
They vandalized our yard sign--again! The first time I slandered the liberals, in my mind, mind you--mostly because I was displeased over finding out a certain someone I knew keeps their blog on Obama's website. Not that people can't be Democrats or liberals, or Obama supporters; don't misunderstand me here. I was mostly displeased because first, I thought this person was someone other than what they were professing to be; second, what they had written was just spouting the media's retoric. Very disappointing to me. So to find my yard signs had been torn down the day after the above unpleasant discovery, my reaction was understandable. Still, I did not call the police. I just picked up the two signs, put back up one as it still had its metal holder intact.

Last night there were reports of yard signs in a nearby suburb getting vandalized and even burned on their metal holders.

Today, my remaining yard sign was torn down again; the metal holder missing this time. I called the police (not 9-1-1, just the non-emergency number). They took down the information, which is all I expected. I didn't figure them waging a large-scale manhunt for yard sign vandals. Just know--stay out of my yard, you leftist-liberal-Obama-lovers! For all you rightist-conservative-McCain-lovers, stay out of their yards too! Elections are stressful enough without resorting to petty vandalism. Keep it on the level, not stooping to pettyness.

My Pick for Prez










I know that the McCain campaign got an immense boost with his announcement of running mate. I've heard it said that people like her better than they like him. Don't get me wrong: I think Sarah Palin was a good option, but I like John McCain too.

Unless something MAJOR happens, I plan on voting for McCain. I was pretty sure, even during the primaries that I was voting for McCain. Why? Well, It goes back to the event I attended. Presidential election years always get one thinking about presidents. I attended this event at which John McCain spoke. I knew at the outset that he did not always toe the party line; he is a bit of a maverick (yes, that word's being tossed about frequently nowadays), but I listened to what he had to say. I don't remember word-for-word exactly all he said, but I did walk away thinking that what he had said was good and that he would make a good president.

Oh, yes, what was this event at which I saw and heard John McCain? The Minnesota State Fair, September 2004--when he was stumping for Bush.

Here are some more pictures of McCain, MN governor Tim Pawlenty, and the mayor of Garage Logic, Joe Soucheray.

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The West
 

Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta.
