LA Times Writer Steve Lopez goes in search of Wasilla
Cool light article in the California section today. There's video and the whole shebang here:
http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-lopez23-2008sep23,0,5598058.column

a moose literally crosses the road and stops traffic as he's on his way there.

A local person very PRO SARAH has made up bumper stickers and sells them:

She's doing her part for the McCain-Palin ticket by selling a $4.95 bumper sticker she and her husband designed, complete with a depiction of a blond who looks like a hooker to me. The sticker reads:

"I Thinc Im Gunna Vote Four Oboma Cuz Thems Hollywood Peoples Like Him."

~*~*~*~*

Question: Who would buy these? What exactly is the statement being made here? She's quoted earlier on in the article as stating:

"What I love about her is that she's not a blueblood. She's not a regular politician, a Washington politician," said Edwards, who was just getting warmed up.

"What I really enjoy is that she's one of us -- a regular person, pretty, sweet, kind and all those things . . . and she will represent our country in a very good way. And I think we need to get back to nuts and bolts and I think that's what's going to happen."

~*~*~*~

:crazy: Definitely back to nuts on that ticket. :crazy:

I'll stick with the sharpest tool in the shed, thank you very much. Not to say Obama's a tool at all but just continuing a bad metaphor...

1. I loved the article and I posted a link to it earlier, but nobody responded. My favorite line
was "Country First? Is that the name of a bank that's sponsoring their campaign?"

4. don't worry about it = my posting of it sank like a stone in 5 minutes, and
I think the article was entertaining enough to warrant several postings to make sure everyone knew about it.
