Pumpkin is Nice Too…
Let me begin by saying that I’m not a Hillary Clinton hater. I think she might be a very good president. It’s just that I think Barack Obama is a better choice. A fresh start, if you will.
But has anyone else noticed that people who support Hillary are getting very defensive about doing so? Whenever it comes up in conversation lately, it seems to go like this:
HILLARY PAL: Who do you hope gets the nod?
LOIS: Obama.
HP: Oh. Really? I’m for Hillary. She….(person goes into 10 minute treatise on the wonders of Hillary).
LOIS: Well, good luck with that. I’m just not sure she’s ultimately electable. Wanna go get some pie?
HP: Well, I think…(goes on for another 15 minutes about how Hillary will save the rainforest, cure cancer and uncover the secrets of “Lost.” Actually, I have no clue, because I’ve completely zoned out.)
LOIS: Great, great. What kind of pie do you think would be good? Is it rhubarb season yet?
HP: Her policies on…(Taxes? Gas prices? Chocolate covered bacon? Who knows?)…are much more thought out than Obama's and….(blah bidditty blah blah blah).
LOIS: I’m gonna go to McDonald’s now. They have apple pie. See you in November.

Hillary, talking about her gas-tax plan, that every economist says won't work:
"I'm not going to put my lot in with economists."
She sounds exactly like G.W. Bush.
That's a bad thing.
Sadly, that's actually better than most Hill supporters I run into. Most don't explain why they're supporting HRC, just that they are, and that they buy into her propaganda wholesale and don't know the first thing about Obama.
Just drop out, Hillary. Let it go. Do the Democratic party a favour, she's tearing it apart. Agreed, clinky.
I feel like it's ALMOST the right season for strawberry-rhubarb pie, Lois, but I fear that I won't find rhubarb if I go to the store (I don't know anyone with a rhubarb patch right now, but I am looking around the place that I live to see if any is coming up). If it's not the right season, how would this be: strawberry-lemon meringue pie. Could that ticket work?
In a general election, would a strawberry-rhubarb pie/vanilla ice cream ticket win? Or, would an apple pie/cheddar cheese ticket win? I'm not sure if the apple pie/cheddar cheese ticket could get enough votes down south, where controversy and suspicions re: cheddar cheese continues to run deep...
Yer all making me hungry.

Lois: Very funny post today. See how much better your writing is once you stop stealing things -- like, say, upper-case Zs -- from others?
Anyway, I loved the phrase "the wonders of Hillary." Wouldn't that be a great title for a song? Someone should write it down, fold it into a paper airplane, and sail it into IANO's nerd store from the sidewalk. (I mean, you couldn't just hand it to him, that's be flirting with death!)
Okay, okay, I'll start it off:
THE WONDER OF HILLARY
(Sorry, Lois, I took out the "S" in "wonders" to better match "The Wonder of You" as originally performed by Elvis Presley. Read the following with that song's tune in mind.)
I just don't want to vote Obama,
And I'm not gonna vote McCain.
I'll vote for Chelsea Clinton's mama.
Can't vote for Nader; that's insane.
I guess I'm hoping that
Her reign will be
Like four more years of Bill.
That's the wonder...
The wonder of Hill.
Pay me.
mmmmmm
pie.
Politic: I just don;t want anyone taking away my right to plant things and make them into desserts.
And I mean ANYTHING.
>>>>Let me begin by saying that I’m not a Hillary Clinton hater<<<<<
And let me finish by saying I am.
Hey IANO,
Here have some pie, home grown... hey, have the whole thing. It will help with the hater thing. It's really gooooooood.
Don't share it with children. It , uh, has a little bourbon in it, yeah, that's the ticket.
Ishat wanders off innocent like. La la la.
SNICKER SNICKER SNICKER
Ishat:
Hey, waitaminute... isn't that the pie you were making with Kool-Aid...
Ahh...
Right.
Gotcha.
C'mon, NoOpie, eatum up! What a big boy he is!

i might even buy you a mcdonald's apple pie.
Pie? Pie at the nerd store? Oboy! Free pie? Oboy, oboy! Is this for everyone? Oboy, oboy, oboy! Who's going? I might even show up, even though I'm not scheduled for another nerd store appearance until 2028 or thereabouts.
10:30 on the 17th? I'll try to make it! :-)
See you guys there! ::goes off to imaginary pack once again::
10:30 on the 17th. Got it.
(But don't expect Cake to show.)
Well, golly, it must be true. Cause everything on the Interweb is true, right?
Cake: Yup, that proves it. So sorry I doubted you.
Lois: The Interweb? Isn't that the same thing as the WorldWideNet?
Pies and nerds. And an actor. And an editor.
WAIT A MINUTE!
You guys aren't shooting the the next American Pie movie are you?
Listen to me: Eat the pie, no perverse acts with the pie. It really doesn't feel the same,so I am told.
