Stupid Kiddie Political Tricks

My friend Steve's adorable son, Ian, tells us about Barack Obama and Rod Blagojevich.

Blue Colorado!

Working on the election with the AFL-CIO in Colorado was a ton of fun! We worked our behinds off and won the state for Obama AND brand new Senator Mark Udall. We were able to defeat 2 out of the three ballot amendments we were working against, effectively saving Colorado from becoming a "right to work (for less)" state.

Like all campaigns, I made some great friends and I'll miss hanging out with them. I have plans to visit DC for the inauguration and stay with them, which is definitely something to look forward to!

I'm in Denver until Sunday, staying with family and seeing the sights. I've quickly figured out that "the sights" are few and far between in Colorado once Rocky Mountain National Park and ski resorts are weeded out. I suppose I could go to a mega-church and bask in the insanity, but I think I'll pass. At this point, I just want to hang out with the family and stare at the wall.

One of the most remarkable things about Denver is the sunshine. I have been here nearly three weeks and it's not been cloudy more than once or twice. No wonder people are unbelievably nice to each other here! They're drunk with happy sunshine.

I'll be glad to be home on Sunday. At the top of my to-do list is finding a new place. The Clubhouse has lost it's quaintness and is now just claustrophobic. Especially since I have decided to adopt a KITTY!!!!! I've been on Petfinder.org like it's porn. I have my eye on several beautiful, blue kittens. I just can't quit the magical blue kitties.
