I'm not sure if I ever shared this story with my BLADE 7184 readers, but now is as good a time as any. My friend Guillermo text me last night, and sent me this lovely picture. LOL.
The Reason for my laughter is because in 2008, when Barack Obama was running for President, Ryan and I posted 2 Obama signs on our yard. In the middle of the night someone stole them, destroyed them or whatever the hell they did with them. Needless to say, I was pissed! Yeah, yeah, they're just signs, but it was our yard and our property.
I went on Ebay and bought 100 or so in a package and for the next several weeks, every time a sign was stolen, I'd place a new one on the yard the next day. It was getting so ridiculous that the moment we left for work, they disappeared.
So one night I hid in my car with a video camera and watched as a car slowly drove by. A passenger (who of course happened to be white - probably a teabagger) started to creep out of the car, when they spotted me. They quickly made the corner and sped off.
Let's just say, our signs were never stolen again. That was four years ago, now it's 2012 and the Tea Party has dwindled away. Maybe there's hope yet. LOL.
I saw this really cool video a few days before Ryan and I left for our vacation and didn't get to blog about it. Well, there's no time like the present.
The very beautiful Charlize Theron was recently featured in a Christian Dior ad with some very popular leading ladies from the past - Marlene Dietrich, Grace Kelly, and the gorgeous Marilyn Monroe.
I think it's absolutely amazing that with today's technology we can bring back people from the past, at least through film. And I'd have to commend the producer for adding Beth Ditto to the ad, her voice was a great accompaniment.
It's official, the Obama re-election campaign officially started Monday, April 04, 2011.
"This campaign is just kicking off. We're opening up offices, unpacking boxes, and starting a conversation with supporters like you to help shape our path to victory. 2012 begins now, and this is where you say you're in."
President Obama's re-election campaign had this to say:
The politics we believe in does not start with expensive TV ads or extravaganzas, but with you — with people organizing block-by-block, talking to neighbors, co-workers and friends.
And that kind of campaign takes time to build. So even though the race may not reach full speed for a year or more, the work of laying the foundation for our campaign must start today.
In the coming days, supporters like you will begin forging a new organization that we'll build together in cities and towns across the country. And we'll need you to help shape our plan as we create a campaign that's farther reaching, more focused, and more innovative than anything we've built before.
We'll start by doing something unprecedented: coordinating millions of one-on-one conversations between supporters across every single state, reconnecting old friends, inspiring new ones to join the cause, and readying ourselves for next year's fight.
