Political Pointers From The Bones
I do a lot and I mean A LOT of Political work- it sort of consumes every freaking spare minute of my life- and I have learned that unless you keep things uncomplicated in this process you will wake up one day and find you have aged over overnight and are now friendless.
So here are a few pointers I keep in mind in order to keep things simple.
Pointer #1
DO NOT TALK SMACK ABOUT THE OTHER SIDE.
Got it?
Don’t do it!
Nobody likes a whinny little b*&^ and the minute you go there I promise you will convert nobody- and that’s what you want- as many people on your side as possible.
That business about destroying the other side? Oh sure, that’s going to be great when you need- and trust me you WILL need their support later.
Pointer #2
If your team is ahead it’s time to act gracious and thank those lucky stars for being where you are because at any minute those stars could turn into flaming meteors and end up crashing into a cow pasture somewhere.
Pointer #3
The Media is not your friend.
Look.
The people in my life who should know that the media aren’t really doing news but STORIES are all writers. Yeah, I’m lost on that too because writers know that in a story you have to have a beginning a middle and an end. You need Villains and Heroes and all that stuff and if you want specifics buy yourself one of those ‘how to’ books about writing.
Oh, this is a good example.
Remember in the movie Jaws?
One guy says that all sharks do is swim around, eat and make baby sharks.
Well, all the media does is tell swim around, eat and try to find a story you’ll buy.
It really is as simple as that.
Those are my pointers.
So.
Be Civil.
If you’re the one doing all the talking you’re probably not listening and if you find yourself TELLING someone to support your candidate instead of ASKING you need to chill out.
That’s it.
See you at the Ballot Box

I like to keep it simple
when it comes to talking about politics and how it impacts my life.
So here it goes:
I like Obama.
I’m supporting Obama.
I also have a sense of humor….at least that’s what I think because people sure do spend a lot of time snickering when I talk
With that being said- here are some LOL Obama Cats.
thank you for the heads-up Kitty!

I have to go to this dinner event.
I dread them because I never manage to wear the right thing ( when I can manage that I sure as heck will let you know ) and I’m not sure if that weird look I’m getting is because of my lucky bracelet ( it has all these little tiny bone and skeleton charms on it )or if it’s because someone has read something I’ve written.
So I’m taking this happy thought with me….
enjoy.
Aloha Obama!

We did the politics.
Okay.
What next.
We can talk story.
I know.
Talk Story.
Plus we can sing.
It’s Aloha Friday After all
I.B. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
HOPE SHOULD NOT BE AN ALIEN IDEA
Walking Distance
People
have told me how much better things would be for us all if we
went back
and
reclaimed a time when things were better.
This scene from ” The Twilight Zone ” describes
what we should probably take into consideration
before we do that.
Walking Distance
written by Rod Serling
Robert Sloan: Martin.
Martin Sloan: Yes, Pop.
Robert Sloan: You have to leave here. There’s no room, there’s no place. Do you understand that?
Martin Sloan: I see that now, but I don’t understand. Why not?
Robert Sloan: I guess because we only get one chance. Maybe there’s only one summer to every customer… That little boy, the one I know – the one who belongs here – this is his summer, just as it was yours once. Don’t make him share it.
Martin Sloan: Alright.
Robert Sloan: Martin, is it so bad where you’re from?
Martin Sloan: I thought so, Pop. I’ve been living on a dead run and I was tired. And one day I knew I had to come back here. I had to get on the merry-go-round and listen to a band concert. I had to stop and breathe, and close my eyes and smell, and listen.
Robert Sloan: I guess we all want that. Maybe when you go back, Martin, you’ll find that there are merry-go-rounds and band concerts where you are. Maybe you haven’t been looking in the right place. You’ve been looking behind you, Martin. Try looking ahead.
