Where's The Love?????

Like many bloggers, I have a set of Google alerts set to send me all the stories that are out there on the "inter-tubes" about candidates and races I am interested in (note to self - must set one for the Chaffetz race). Naturally, I have one set for the Franken/Coleman race. When I set it up, I set it up for blogs and news stories and every now and then, the blogs alert sends me a diamond that I obviously would have never seen, in my crazy day, had I not had the alert. Today, I got one of those diamonds...

Today we enjoy the Monticello Riverfest parade. I love a parade!

As usual, the people watching is remarkable.

Especially the dude who sits by me in a "Keep Kids Off Drugs" who is totally stoned and spaced out.

We stand for the color guard and are so proud of any of the military people we see marching or retired ones that are riding.

We marvel at the horses and snicker at the pooper scoopers that follow them (why is poop so dang funny?).

We clap like crazy for the bands and the flag/fake wood rifle girls.

When Al Franken's wife and his posse with Al Franken signs (i.e. those dirty hippies with floppy hats and ugly brown sandals) pass by there are crickets, I swear. It is pretty funny but even funnier is this guy at the end of the posse who tries to get the crowd fired up and yells, "Do you want change, or more of the same?!" and Trina my supercoolsistersays, "MORE OF THE SAME!".

Heh heh heh.

What more can you say?
