Tonight I am hosting a meet and greet for the Republican candidate for District Attorney. Wish me luck everyone. I found a flyer on my door this morning to my own event. Hope I have enough food and not way too much. LOL
I should have said Republican primary candidate.
Good luck, and I’m sure everything will be just perfect, including the food...
LOL
Now that is the perfect illustration of a dinosaur...
RIP Jack Germond.
Sad.
I’ve got leftovers, but it went well. Lots of folks came, the kitchen was full. Irene’s speech went well. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. One woman who came stayed longer than she said she would....she had told me she was supporting another candidate, so we are hoping she changed her mind. All her neighbors were here and supporting Irene, so....there is hope. Whoever wins the republican primary will win the general, as we are a rep county.
I remember him from the McLauglin Group.
Good show.
May he RIP.
One of my early favorites.
I loved the SNL parodies of the McLaughin Group:
JM: Mort what did you have for breakfast
Mort: Eggs?
JM: Wrong. You had Special K with banana.
Next Issue.
