I got the kids involved in politics yesterday. It was great fun. First, Ella and I went down to the Obama headquarters to get a yard sign:
(Ella also picked out a rainbow-themed Obama button. She's for gay rights, too!)
Then, Luke helped us put the sign up:
Kevin . . . not so involved.
When we were at the Obama HQ, one of the ladies behind the desk was regaling us with her plans for after the election. She said she would cry, regardless of the outcome. Then, she would throw a party. It would either be a victory party, or a bon voyage party, because she's moving to Canada.
But my favorite "What if McCain actually wins?" discussion came courtesy of my favorite weekly radio show, "Best of Bread." The two Crofton brothers do enjoy talking about politics. On Tuesday, the possibility of McCain winning came up (I think because of the whole Obama-is-a-terrorist bent that the McCain campaign is taking these days). Chris (the main guy, I guess) said that if it happens, he's moving to Guatemala to become a coffe farmer. "Then," he said, "I'm going to send a gift basket to McCain that says, 'Step off.'" Eric (I think), the other brother, interjected, "I'd rather be in America. Thanks a lot." So Chris continues, "Yeah, yeah! I'm going to move to Guatemala and send a package that says, "Eff you. I hate Guatemala. I'd rather be in America and it's all your fault."
That about sums up my feelings on the matter. Although I think I'll just move to Honduras, since you speak so highly of it. Maybe the market has crashed for Caribbean islands of the Honduran coast, too?
