As many of you know, I was born and raised in a communist country, where this blog would have cost me my freedom. 

 

We laugh about our politicians and their antics, but we forget how lucky we are to be able to do that...

 

Are you registered to vote?

 

As Realtors and citizens, we should be involved in Politics on more than just a perfunctory level.  We should do more than criticize; we should attract attention to issues that affect us as a group. 

 

Stay involved!  Have fun!  Live well!  Be an Optimist!

I don't know HOW I missed this but it is so damn funny!! I actually posted the "fairy tales" joke last summer and it's so true because we are barraged with an avalanche of promises from all sides! I also did not know you grew up in a communist country and really you had no freedom in the first place, speaking out would have cost you even more! I actually spent a time in the summer of 1970 studying at universities in the Czheck Republic,Hungary and what was once Yugoslavia and it was incredibly eye opening. Have a great week and thanks for the laughs!

Russell:  "Twisted"...  I like that word.  I think I have no embarrassment whatsoever.  I think it runs in the family, because my daughter is quite the clown too.  I just enjoy people's laughter, so I have a good excuse...  It worked in Romania too; I guess laughter is universal...

OK then...I guess it's time to go back to Obama & McCain...

Sorry, but I have more for McCain than Obama...so you will be "unbalanced" again; I will upload them anyway, as it would be a shame just to let them sit on my hard drive...
