Political Maneuvering
My friend Teddy, perhaps the smartest man I'll ever know, can recite Poe's "The Raven" in its entirety from memory. I, on the other hand, can sing the McDonald's menu song (scroll down) really really fast, complete with several dramatic intakes of breath.
Perhaps this is why he uninvited me to his Campaign for Kerry party this weekend, which will involve roadtripping to Nevada and staying in a million-dollar cabin on the shores of Lake Tahoe. When I asked him if I could tag along he told me--and I quote--"No. You'll be more trouble than you're worth." Although he did reconsider when I offered to canvas the streets of Reno wearing a Kerry/Edwards sandwich board and a really short skirt.
The problem with sandwich boards is that they make your undies ride up. This, however, might be a strong campaigning ploy.
LOL! I sing that song everytime we pass a McDS and it drives my husband nuts!
Oh, the McDonald's Menu Song! I learned it word for word off a record -- my mom caught me "practicing" and I was mortified. But it made a fun college trick!
Love your blog :)
