Is it because they're of trivial worth? <br /><br />Or do you feel that way about American children, too? Would you support Obama sending drone missiles into a neighborhood where <i>your</i> grandchildren live, just as long as it wasn't Romney doing it?High Arkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14723123626955733759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-3706023804191334402012-03-23T05:02:42.746-04:002012-03-23T05:02:42.746-04:00Real world politics - the kind that makes a differ...Real world politics - the kind that makes a difference - is usually boring.

A friend just called and said the Obama team has hired our new county coordinator for the campaign and he makes his first appearance today in our County at the Democratic County headquarters so tonight we will go down to meet him and sign up to help. I used to do a good bit of door to door but that kink in my back that used to just aggravate me when I was a distance runner in college that was just a pesky little occasionally slightly painful thing of long ago has turned into a full scale congenital defect complicated by arthritic changes so I can't walk distances without suffering greatly. I do not like to do the phone calls either so I want to be the first in line to sign up for data entry as I'm a fast typist and should be able to do that kind of work for them with no problems. I know all the regional accents of the state of Carolina where I was born<br /><br /> Incidentally, I'm not from that thin strip of woodlands between Carolina and Virginia, although that was my Dad's home territory before he attended that College in Charleston SC where the Lords of Discipline once ruled and also that city where Leopold Bloom King once roamed, although Carolina and that thin strip of woodlands that rest upon it are said to have a much, much higher Obama approval rating than the deep south areas such as Alabama and Mississippi. That particular place where young Leopold Bloom King is said to have made his mark is the city of my birth in Carolina, at least in the world according to Conrack.Superfluous Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14935534194246434873noreply@blogger.com
