Nov. 3, 2008 - What she said ... #8 - Election Edition
I know it's been pretty quiet around here again ... sigh. It seems that my heart and mind has been overflowing with all things election these past few weeks. To the point that even our main school focus has been politics, government, issues, and all things presidential -- with a bit of math, reading and science thrown in for good measure.
Before most of us head to the polls tomorrow (you are going to vote, right?!), I thought I'd give you a few last articles to ponder.
Moms in the Right has several excellent blog posts on the campaign ... I managed to narrow it down to my five favorites, but spend some time reading their archives if you have the time.
- And lastly, although we don't "do" halloween at our house, if we did I would have wanted to do this! :o) from Jennifer at Conversion Diary:
Speaking of Halloween and elections, I think I heard about the most clever costume ever: a friend's nephew dressed in a t-shirt that said POLLSTER, and then carried an Obama bag and a McCain bag, and people could choose which one they put candy in. He evidently got a really impressive haul of candy from people who expressed their emotions about this election by dumping handfuls of goodies into their candidate's bag.
(At the lunch where this story was recounted the floodgates were opened for wry comments about the Obama supporters taking candy from his bag to give to the kids who didn't want to trick-or-treat, or McCain supporters telling him to stop asking for handouts and go earn his own candy. As you can imagine, the witticisms abounded.)
