Vote For Me

It is always pleasant to read the comments that readers have left on my posts. It is the first thing I do every time I come on line. While reading the four comments left on my latest post, "Christmas Cards From The Edge," you can imagine my surprise to find the following comment:

Of course, this means I have to hit the camapign trail. I won't promise four drumsticks on a chicken. I won't promise no new taxes - read my lips! I'll have to kiss babes, and I will not limit it to the diaper variety either. (I have been known to slip the tongue to certain babes.) I will promise to post my brand of humor, after all it did garner me this nomination.
....Don't be surprised to see a pitch in my posts between now, and starting in earnest from Dec. 1 through Dec. 5. You may well see shameless plugs left as comments on your posts also.

I have checked out the opposition. That reconnaissance has led me to believe that they can be had! The Intellectual Comedy Salon is mostly a politically slanted comedy site with a heavy use of photos and some clever captioning. Banana Blograma also uses photos, and while politics is part of the theme, the site also deals with the current news. Patricularly funny is the Thanksgiving Day post: "Two Men Attacked By Slutty Parade Balloon."

I'll be seeing you on the campaign trail with the support of the two Sams. Uncle Sam and, of course, Yosemite Sam.

Get out there and vote! For me, please?
