As I get nestled back into the confines of the Starship In All My Years, I have a secret to tell.
George Bush did not handle the hurricane relief effort very well. I think it all will turn out OK for the survivors, whom Barbara Bush rightly points out were mostly poor anyway. The Superdome is a step up for those folks, so quit yer whinin'!
Enough of that (for the time being).
A few weeks ago, I participated in a canvassing effort on behalf of Democracy for Illinois, where we basically did some door to door canvassing. It was a great time, and a blast working with such professional folks. Lots of enthusiastic volunteers were trying to talk to voters about what their top issues are, as well as building a database of block-by-block info of potential voters.
You, know just duplicating the information that the Republicans have since God almighty apparently gave it to them. They are the party of the Christ child, doncha know.
My favorite discussion was with gentleman who couldn't be forced to say anything bad about Rod Blagojevich because they were 'countrymen', but was concerned that we didn't just nuke all of Iraq. Yes, erm. Ahem.
Anywho, below are some pictures from the picnic that followed. We had a pretty big turnout (I couldn't stick around for all of it) and it was a grand affair.
Also, Christine won the endorsement from Carpenters local 588--kudos!
