Mr. Smartypants is upset because no one has mentioned those other people, whose names were on the ballot – and he wants to know why.
Mike Faulk is leading Mike Williams in the state Senate Race.

Now you understand why I had to lecture the children before we went into the polling place about how outburst, last-minute attempts at campaigning or comments such as “MOM, WHAT ARE YOU? CRAZY?” or “HEY, YOU FORGOT TO VOTE FOR…” would NOT be tolerated.

Ms. Diva came home proudly wearing her “I voted today” sticker.

At least, he didn’t try to change up the words to this.
John Mellencamp, Heart, Van Halen and Jackson Browne have all asked McCain/Palin or the Republican Party to stop using their songs to promote the ticket. Likewise, songwriter Gretchen Peters wasn’t pleased with Palin’s use of “Independence Day.” Now, the Foo Fighters are complaining about McCain’s unauthorized use of their song [...]
In case you missed it, the abbreviated synopsis:
On Economy:
Obama: appealed to the middle class by using the word middle-class frequently, promising to make tax cuts and take decisive action – particularly against those people living high on the hog. He confused the words investor and taxpayer, perhaps to make us feel less screwed by [...]
