I had no intentions of posting anything today, it is supposed to be a lovely 80 degree day and if you know anything at all about Massachusetts weather, you know that days like this can be fleeting and then we drop back to 40!

But this is too good (and I use the term good loosely) to not post.....

Yesterday I was volunteering at a local thrift shop in my town, something I do on Saturdays, 2-3 times a month.  The group of women I usually work with are often of the same political persuasion as me and we have some really great discussions during slow periods.  While talking about the candidate I am working for Debra Silberstein for the State Senate to serve the 2nd Essex/Middlesex District, someone suggested I should check out the website of the independent candidate for this seat.

I do not want to mention the candidate’s name - based on her weak website, I doubt she or her people are savvy enough to know how to search the web looking for any and all mentions of her name, but don’t want to open up a can of worms.  If you want to look at her webpage, I have given you enough clues to find it.  There are more than a few things about it I find distasteful but the reason my friend was sending me to look at it was her first sentence at the top of the page--it states that she is a 12th generation American mom (???) followed by I believe in:

1. The Constitution of the United States
2. The Bill of Rights
3. State’s Rights
4. LESS Government control
5. America and her people
6. Our voices being heard
7. The wisdom of our Founding Fathers

Thinking what I am thinking???  If you do a websearch of this person’s name, the first thing that comes up is a page to donate to the tea party, presumably in her name...I got out of there fast cause I figure just being there probably means I will be inundated with email from them.

So, everyone yesterday thinks (1) I need to post something on her page to the effect of “is that all you got” referring to the 12th generation........after all, I can trace my ancestry back to (on my maternal grandmother’s side) to someone who came here on the Mayflower; on my paternal grandmother’s side, to the American Revolution (and yes she was DAR, I was CAR and supposed to be DAR, but it was not my cup of tea--no pun intended); and on my paternal grandfather’s side, to an American Indian-- and (2) SO, based on that I should run for office, no??  I mean really, how ridiculous can you get.  OH, and the best part--she is running because she met Scott Brown in January and was inspired to do so.  WOW, are you impressed yet??

And that is all my scintillating chat for today, enjoy this weather!!

Ciao’
