So last night I’m at this meeting
and my friends who are
Obama supporters are talking about the Polls and McCain.
I point out two very simple facts:
John McCain is a liar.
The mainstream media are tools.
Put the two together and you will have enough BS to fertilze every field and yard and still have enough to over flow every single toilet in
the United States, Canada and Mexico.
So what do we do they asked me.
Do this I said:
I’ve seen some PUMATARD blogs where they are claiming John McCain wants to extend an Olive Branch to women by tapping a female Governor with a passport that was issued in 2007 as his VP- I just can’t let that go by…so here it is in pictures and little bitty easy to understand words:
Pumatards- you know these guys, right?
That’s Gampy Insane on the left and Devil’s Spew Rove on the right
and they are not doing this:
by handing you her:
They’re only handing you
This
because they can’t put this:
on the campaign trail with John McCain
Good Talk.
Now take some Midol and Chill out.

I went back and searched for pictures of the lines- of any one of the many lines- I stood in with my friends from Washington State and California to attend the Obama Nomination Acceptance Speech in at the Mile High Stadium in Denver, Co.
There are pictures of neat lines that went somewhere, but there were none of us standing in the lines that went in circles or pictures of the other lines that we got into that led down dirt trails to the street that we crossed so that we could cross the street again and go back to the stadium and go through a security line.
Those images are committed to memory just like the ones I have now of how we walked around and around we told each how one day we would tell our Grand kids what we did so that we could be there the day President Obama accepted the Nomination.
I’ll remember how hot it was, stories about the people we met- the determination we all had to make it through that line- how people didn’t bicker or fight or snap at each other when things got confusing.
I remember law enforcement officers in riot gear handing out bottles of water and asking how people were feeling. I remember that we all enjoyed joking around with them.
In those wonky lines we told each other that were sorry that we were missing the music and speeches, but we were also telling ourselves that whatever it took, we were going to be in the stadium in time to see our Candidate acccept the Nomination.
So was it worth the dust, the heat, the weird lines that went nowhere? Was it worth the uncertainty, the aching feet the sore legs?
I think that line, that walk, represented what our Country has been through for the past eight years- and I’ll tell you something else, at some level I think that’s what kept us going.
We are on a journey to end all of that.
When me and my friend got into the Stadium we sat about six rows down from the very top row at the stadium I’m from Seattle so that hike up was a challenge and at one point I tried to take a breath and couldn’t get air into my lungs.
But in that packed section we were assigned to I saw a place for us- and that did it, we made it to our row and when we sat down we started to laugh.
We Made It
at last.

So this morning I listened in on an interview that my husband, as an Obama Delegate did for a local radio station back home.
And of course the burning question is:
So, how are the Clinton Delegates doing there?
Read: Have they been making a scene on the floor?
Here’s the answer.
No.
In the Washington State Delegation everyone is sitting together, everyone is getting along and if the reality isn’t matching up to the media hype all I can say is thank God for that.
My husband and his friend ( who is a Clinton Delegate ) had fun leading cheers, telling jokes and making the most out of what is a historical Convention-
they did the Unity thing together without prompting or hand holding or ‘encouragement’.
They were two guys who are in the moment and enjoying every minute of it.
I’ve had a few questions pop up about Protesters and it took me few to realize that what they were really asking about were the PUMA people- look, there are all kinds of groups here and they’ve got real issues and concerns that the country should be concerned with…so good on them and I’m glad they’re getting ink and airtime.
PUMA people aren’t in that category and I haven’t heard anything about them- speaking of Republicans though ( snark snark ) a couple of my friends saw them tossing back drinks at a place called Martinis or maybe that’s what they were drinking and they said there isn’t enough alcohol in the world that’s going to help them lose that memory and based on the way my friends looked this morning they really, really tried to do just that.
And.
This morning I found out that the only news channel they show in the bar at this hotel is FOX News.
I don’t think it’s a Political Statement on the part of the Hyatt… I think its a way to get Democrats to drink their way straight to every bottle in the place.
Smart move.
Oh…here’s a Denver Experience that I had:
I almost ordered a Buffalo Burger because I will eat anything that’s been smothered in Barbecue Sauce. Now, back in Washington that’s what ” buffalo ” means so you can get buffalo shrimp and buffalo wings.
So I almost placed the order when I remembered where I was and I thought to ask, ” hey, is this real buffalo meat?”
The waiter never did bring me that second drink I asked for.
Hell.
I wouldn’t have brought it to me either.
More later.
Till then…
I shall remain

your friend in Denver.
this is an interview Luis, my husband did for our local paper:
Luis Moscoso of Mountlake Terrace is waking up in Denver today, where he’ll be helping make history this week.
He is among reams of Democrats attending the national convention who will formally choose Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., to lead the nation and make him the first black person to head the presidential ticket of a major political party.
It’s a moment when the hyperbole of equal opportunity for people of all races actually feels a bit real, said Moscoso, an Obama delegate who is of Peruvian and European descent.
“We can all see ourselves in what I call ‘America the Dream,'” he said. “This convention and the nominating of Barack Obama is the culmination of a 400-and-some-year dream coming to fruition.”
U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Wash., skipped the 2004 national convention but will be in Denver to watch his party in its scaling of the racial barrier.
“This is an historic moment,” said Larsen of Everett, who is a superdelegate pledged to Obama. “We are going to be a national party to move this country forward.”
Washington’s contingent to the convention includes 97 voting and 13 alternate delegates plus state party employees and committee appointees.
Joining Moscoso and Larsen as Obama delegates from Snohomish County are Marsha Scutvick of Mill Creek, Kendall Hamilton of Edmonds and Ronald Oshima of Lynnwood.
Attending as Clinton delegates are James Trefry of Everett along with Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon and Edmonds City Councilwoman Deanna Dawson. Myriam Marquez of Stanwood is an alternate Clinton delegate.
National party conventions — the Republican Party’s will be next week in St. Paul, Minn. — are round-the-clock affairs for participants. In addition to a nightly focus on convention speeches, the days are filled with party organizing and fundraising events.
For four hours Wednesday, Democrats will fan out and devote themselves to public service in Denver. Washington’s delegation will be working at a food bank.
Scutvick, who started organizing pro-Obama forces in the county last year, is making her first trek to a national convention and expects to be very busy.
She plans to attend a forum on “unconventional women in politics” and another on health care. That’s in addition to a smattering of breakfasts, luncheons and receptions where she can hear from the Democratic Party’s present and future leaders.
Scutvick also is a button collector and is bringing a stash of “WA for Obama” buttons to trade with delegates of other states.
And she did try for tickets to watch the taping of “The Daily Show” hosted by Jon Stewart, but they were sold out. She still expects to bump into a few recognizable political and media stars.
“This is going to be a fun time,” she said. “You never know who you’re going to meet in the hallway or elevator.”
Many delegates will be accompanied by their spouses or friends.
Kristine Petereit of Everett is coming at the invitation of Scutvick. She said her schedule includes a roundtable on philanthropy featuring media mogul Ted Turner.
And she’ll be vying with other guests for use of a pass allowing her to sit with delegates for a short period of time, possibly during the prime-time speeches.
“It’s a little surreal to think that I am packing up, leaving my family and going to Denver,” she said last week.

A message has come out of the DNC in Denver…it’s one we can rally around…and that message is:
F$!@# Fox News!
fyi the guy running to the barricade is a FAUX SPEWS reporter.

your friend in Denver.
It’s sort of hard to follow this thing with Georgia and Russia when most of our “Reporters” can’t even pronounce the names of the people involved
or
the
places involved-
Not that it matters to our media.
They’re not big picture, detail-oriented types…in case you haven’t noticed.
So I’m going to help you out because when I took Russian History, I learned it from a teacher who…
get this
actually lived in Russia.
Plus I like to make politics easy to understand so here it goes:
These Guys
are willing to risk starting World War III with
this guy
to get this guy
Elected President.
Got it?
Good.
Yeah.
It’s that simple.
The
Mob Rules!
You know you’re special when
somebody turns you into a paper doll:
ps…there’s a John McInsane version but like Paris Hilton says he’s a ‘wrinkly white haired guy’ and the idea of any sort of a doll version of that is enough to make me spew
So here’s the Paper Doll of Obama and…if you look at the bottom of this post you’ll see me being fair…

to appease those PUMA freaks out there who STILL can’t admit all they want is to really do is have John McCain’s babies here’s an ad about him…sort of:
My friends ask me these weird questions like
if you feed rice to birds will they blow up
and
if You eat Pop Rocks and drink Coke will your Spleen explode.
If in your life you have worked as a Mortician and you write stories about Vampires who accept proposals of marriage at a drive-in then you should be patient when people ask you questions that they probably Google in the middle of the night when everyone else is asleep.
So the question of the week, for me, was the story about the guy in Cananda who was riding on a bus and for reasons that only he might be able to understand- he took out a knife and then stabbed and killed his seatmate.
After
he decapitated his victim.
One of my friends asked me if I had heard about this and I said yes I had.
And then I thought I was going to get questions about knives and do I think demonic possesion was a possiblity in this case.
But for once I got a real question, ” So, I’m not asking how he did it…like, why would he do it? “
And then I realized this wasn’t a conversation about a macabre crime…I was having a conversation with a friend who rode the bus everyday to work and we were talking about an incident that did not happen on a movie screen or in a computer game or on the pages of a ‘graphic novel’.
This terrible crime happened on a bus to a real person like us.
The victim and his murderer- were just two guys on a bus going to someplace else and then their worlds ended the minute that knife came out.
I can’t explain why- from the darkest places in my imagination-that place where all of my strange stories come from-
I just can’t imagine
why.
