I acted like an evil little elf today.
Sparkly had to go out of town on bidniss. I got to play taxi driver. We got to the airport a bit early. I was hungry so decided to go in to grab a bite and see her off.

We pass a Border's books tore. Sparkly detoured in to get a magazine. While she was looking, I notice the font display is arranged in two columns. On the left were various titles by or about Obama and Biden. On the right, various titles about McCain and Palin.

I spent a few seconds peeking over my shoulder, acting like a criminal, and redecorating. I either turned backward of place an Obama cover over every McPalin title.

Then, at the check-out counter is this silly-assed display of playing cards with Clinton, Obama, and McCain on the backs (no Palin). I redecorated here, too. When done, one could only see Clinton or Obama decks.

As Sparkly is checking out, I lean forward toward the clerk (the only one visible in the store). "Pssssst ...... I'm voting for Obama and I hope you are, too. I took the liberty of rearranging your displays so only Obama books can be seen. I hope you don't mind."

She laughs and extends her hand to shake mine. "I was juuuuuust about to do that myself!".

It made my day.

2. I did something similar in Borders the other day.
I just happened to absent-mindedly put one of Obama's books on top of Jerome Corsi's latest turd.

4. I did something similar when I saw a gossip rag with OBAMA IS MUSLIM on the cover
I moved all those rags to the back of the rack and put Britney Spears in the front. :)
