I’ve always wanted to vote for a Canadian, many thanks to the Dems for making this possible.

Booze-Butt sign. Apparently Butt won, Booze lost.

Here in Spain, the last poll result said that we need an Obama for our economical problems…

We considered moving to Richmond, CA, to be able to tell our grandchildren we’d voted for Corky Booze and Tom Butt. But then we remembered we didn’t have grandchildren.

Isn’t that sufficient incentive to begin the process of creating some grandchildren?

This surely from the same source as the legendary Foreign Office desk which a humourous personnel department had arranged to be occupied by Lamb, Currie & Rice . . . .

From Time Magazine’s April 2, 1965 edition:

For 14 years in the Senate and two in the House, Florida’s Representative Claude Pepper, 64, wandered Capitol Hill, not precisely friendless but somehow incompleat. Then, this January, Texas Democrat Jake Pickle, 41, took his seat in the House. Before anyone could say rubber baby-buggy bumpers, the two sponsored H.R. 2465, modifying a portion of the social security laws. It will be known to one and all, naturally, as the Pickle-Pepper bill. Purpose? Whereas, would winsome widows winning their way with welfare wealth wed wooers on social security themselves, why wish widows and wooers to lose whatever combined welfare wealth weddings would work?

Yes, the dateline should make us suspect that this is just another apocryphal story attached to Claude Pepper—although not as good as the wholly apocryphal “sexagenarian” speech that George Smathers was supposed to have given in 1950.

My town, influenced by the McCain ads about whether we should vote for a risky candidate, elected Mayor Riskie.

That may be better than the race in my district in 2006. Goode vs Weed.

(Adding amusement: the district is a significant producer of good weed.)
