Gumby could always bend, but now he flip-flops too!

The whole reason I started this blog in the first place is because I wanted to be like my buddy Mike. He began his blog while doing an internship in Senator Orrin Hatch's Washington DC office a few summers ago, and he always included pictures of any and all senators he saw/met while there. So now its my turn. I was at a meeting at work on Tuesday (I'm always in a meeting at work nowadays) and we heard a bunch of ruckus outside. We looked out the window and saw the longest man in the world shouting into a HUGE crowd of up to 35 people about the Demo-god (that's half Democrat, half God), Barack Obama. This man was unmistakably John Kerry, you can actually tell from the tenth floor. I went on out there to get a better look, and there I stood not ten feet away from the man that was hourly news four years ago. Did I mention that he is a very long person?

So there are 18 days until the election, I know this because election day happens to be exam day for me this year. I still don't know who I'm going to vote for as President of these United States. Out here in Wisconsin we are exposed to 12 campaign commercials an hour (we counted last night)...and all they do is just cause me to dislike both of the candidates. I'm finally living in a state where my vote counts, so I don't want to mess this up for everyone. I think I'll just vote for the candidate who makes up the best new word during the debates. So far, that gives Barack my vote, thanks to his invention of the word "enbolden". Although McCain giving Joe the Plumber the last name of Wertzenberger when its really Wertzenbacher puts me right back on the fence.

Don't worry, I'll post another blog soon so we can get Senator Gumby off the top of the blog.

"Enbolden?" That's pretty similar to a word that Jebediah Springfield invented in his famous quote "The noblest spirit embiggens the smallest man." It's a perfectly cromulent word.
