A little taste of their medicine......
I was just on the phone to a supplier, I needed Flag blue foil to print Bumperstickers.
I said: Give me a 50 yard roll, not 100. Election is almost upon us and Obama will run this country so well that we won't need to make any patriotic stuff for a long time.

"Don't get me started", he said, "you are calling me in a red state and I vote the other way. The media.....just don't get me started on the media."

"Oh really" I said "Have you not noticed that things are really changing? I'm calling you from a red state that is going blue as we speak."

"Just don't get me going" he said again "the media....."

I then tried to probe what it was the media was doing. He just kept saying their "name" with no substance.

"So you are just trying to explain away your lousy candidates by finding someone to blame?" I said.

He said nothing. And got back to business.


We need to dose them and not duck, it is a great feeling to be in the majority.
Let's act like it.

1. Let's act like it and VOTE like it.
If we win this, ie: if they can't steal it, it's going to be fun rubbing their noses in it.

Personally, I would have found another supplier. I try really hard not to financially support Pugs. (the pigs, not the dogs. I like the dogs.)

2. I can't do it for political reasons. My political views have been
very visible all around me for 8 years. Even though my customers as a rule are Republicans, they don't reject me as a person to do business with.
We have lively discussions. But I don't think that is the way to re-unite us after 8 years of Bush policies of division.
Let's be uniters, not dividers.
