Dual Purpose

Ya, ya! Finally ELECTION DAY is here... *pant, pant*

Is anyone else going to be tuned in on CNN watching that silly touch screen action? I'm dying to see blue cover the country, all eyes on Indiana first... then North Carolina & Ohio. Snap. No one best be calling me from 6pm - 9pm as this is my night off from studying to do some major t.v. watching.

Oh yeah, and Amélie had her first Halloween! Wow, she enjoyed herself SO much ooohing and ahhhing at all the kids dressed up that came to the door that she crashed at 10pm and slept until 10am the next morning. That girl played the role of the cutest rat / mouse in all of Minnesota. Daddy & I are so proud.

Now here is proof of the Rat-i-tude that started the night:


Followed by pure entertainment for the whole night:


PLEASE GET OUT & VOTE! BE PART OF HISTORY!

One week left!!

After a rousing political conversation with the nanny, I mean my dad, this morning... I felt the need to research what exactly those scary union commercials were trying to say by "Franken wants to take away your private vote!"

Btw, a little off topic, I just hate the fact that campaigns have endless money to spend on nasty ads because they neither represent "real choices" nor "real issues." I can't wait for the day when campaigns are publicly funded... those who really care about the issues will hand over their $50 (or whatever is the maximum donation) and the candidate will actually have to do something good like, make an ad that provides their views & stances on issues instead of rip down their opponent.

Yoinks, I am ALL fired up and ready to vote next Tuesday. I cannot wait to make history. Amélie will be so proud of her parents.

Here is a nice description, granted a bit biased in his presentation but he does define the "Employee Free Choice Act" that is the main focus in the Union advertisements. Plus, he provides some history/statistics so you can make the call.
