Une Baraque ou bien du Surgelé?
As with every electoral season,
and doubly so with this particular one,
there are crucial questions to be asked
(if not always answered entirely)
and there are decisions to be made
sometimes in the voting booth itself
(if it isn't always the case, actually!
Bring your coins and flip'em - eh?)
Beyond all that, now,
there are several PRE-ELECTION DAY questions
that merit an answer ASAP...
(As there will be many post-elections ones too;
we're sure...)
Such as...
WHICH ELECTION
WILL TRULY HOG THE LIMELIGHT?
What will truly be more interesting now...
THE SMALLER BATTLES WAGED IN THE TRENCHES...?
OR THE TUSSLE BETWEEN TITANS AT THE SUMMIT
WHICH THRONES OVERALL...?!?
ULTIMATELY, THOUGH...
THE ONLY QUESTION THAT WILL MATTER IS...
WHICH ONE IS WORTHIER,
TRULY?
THE DYNAMIC DONKEY?
OR THE CRUSTY OL' ELEPHANT?!?
IN OTHER WORDS...
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY'S CANDIDATE...
OBAMA...
OR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY CANDIDATE...
Y'KNOW-WHO!
ALL-AMERICAN RED-BLOODED BOYS -
DO NOT
I REPEAT DO NOT
BASE YOUR VOTE UPON
THE HOTNESS FACTOR OF AN "OBAMA GIRL"...
OR THE "CANDIDNESS" OF A "McCAIN GIRL"...
Neither are remotely close to BOND GIRLS anyhow...!
AND THE RESULT OF THIS VOTE
IS A FOREGONE CONCLUSION ANYWAY...
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em - EH?
SORRY SARAH -
I FEEL FOR YOU,
I REALLY DO
ALTHOUGH IT DOES PALIN COMPARISON
TO THE SADNESS I FEEL FOR JOHN...!
AT 72 -
THIS WAS HIS ONE AND ONLY SHOT.
But it is well-documented:
good guys never win
finish last
and come in second to the bad guy
with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac connections
- oh, and Oprah, too...!
But, wait a second...
AGAIN - THAT NUMBER... 72.
AGAIN - THAT NUMBER... 72.
But that is another sad story...
SARAH ALWAYS HAS
ALASKA...
HOCKEY...
2012
AND TINA FEY, TO FALL BACK ON...!
ALASKA...
HOCKEY...
2012
AND TINA FEY, TO FALL BACK ON...!

Found somewhere in my luminous inbox this past week, was the following...
The U.S. election is just a week away! And Gather members have been passionate about the race for the White House from the get-go. With key issues such as the Iraq war, foreign policy, the economy, and education on the table, it’s been one of the most heated elections in U.S. history.
Republicans, Democrats, Independents, and undecideds alike continue to share their thoughts on the candidates and their policies. Some international Gatherers have even been weighing in with their viewpoints – all of which helps Gather become the best conversation online on politics.
Will the Republicans keep the White House for the next four years? Will the Democrats get their chance to bring about the change they promise? The fate of the nation will be decided on November 4th. From now till Election Day and beyond, check in, weigh in, and be heard on Gather.
Best,

WASHINGTON – President-elect Obama called Nancy Reagan on Friday to apologize for joking that she held seances in the White House.
At a news conference in Chicago, Obama said he had spoken with all the living presidents as he prepares to take office in January. Then he smiled and said, "I didn't want to get into a Nancy Reagan thing about doing any seances."
The 87-year-old former first lady had consulted with astrologers during her husband's presidency. But she did not hold conversations with the dead.
Obama spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter said the president-elect later called Mrs. Reagan "to apologize for the careless and offhanded remark." She said Obama "expressed his admiration and affection for Mrs. Reagan that so many Americans share, and they had a warm conversation."
It actually wasn't Nancy Reagan who was linked to conversations with the dead; it was Obama's top Democratic challenger for the presidency, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y.
In either case, use of the word "seance" might be overstated.
Nancy Reagan consulted an astrologer to help set her husband's schedule, wrote former White House chief of staff Donald T. Regan. The revelation created a furor and President Reagan even broke with his policy of not commenting on books by former White House staffers.
"No policy or decision in my mind has ever been influenced by astrology," Reagan said.
In his book "The Choice," Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward described how Clinton consulted with a spiritual adviser who led her through imaginary conversations with her personal hero, Eleanor Roosevelt. Newsweek magazine, which was promoting the book, characterized the visits as "seances," a term that White House officials quickly tried to squelch.
"These were people who were helping her laugh, helping her think," said Neel Lattimore, Clinton's spokeswoman. "These were not seances."
