Adventures in Early Voting

I recounted Shannon’s and my early voting extravaganza from today on HuffPost. Photos are in the Flickr gallery >> and excerpt here:
“Fortunately, the people waiting with us concurred. At 9am, we were strangers, but by 2pm we were the best of friends. After dispatching Shannon to McDonalds (which was so packed with herds of hungry [...]

Pre-Game Jitters

My very wise friend said at coffee tea this afternoon, “October was not a good month for anybody, Maegan.” We both giggled nervously, having spent the previous hour unloading our respective woes as entrepreneurs with big dreams mentally preparing to tough it through The Great Depression 2.0. Truly, it has seemed inordinately distressing. I have [...]

Suck It Up, Obama Supporters!

I must now admit one of my life’s guilty pleasures: Michelle Malkin. I read her blog every day, and today she makes an excellent point about Obama supporters complaining that they were asked to volunteer for the campaign in order to receive tickets to the big speech in Denver.
One would-be attendee complained to ABC7 in [...]

W&W: Paris Strikes Back! Will McCain Bare His Bikini Bod Next?

Sadly, we had some technical difficulties getting Julia Allison on the show this morning (thus that odd noise in the middle of the program). It was a perfect week for her, too, with the Paris news! But we are coordinating schedules and will have her as a guest another time very soon!
Teresa was full of [...]

W&W Tomorrow: Julia Allison Joins to Talk Celebrities on the Campaign Trail

I’m just really disappointed that Britney didn’t show up at the end to make out.

Lessons from Iowa: How to Win the People, Then the Press

Thx HuffPost: “Local Papers: Obama Dominating Ground Game”
John McCain once famously proclaimed that the media was his “base,” and as last week’s W&W guest and Straight Talk Express veteran, Seattle PI cartoonist David Horsey, pointed out: Many members of the media have long relationships with and like McCain better than Obama.
This scenario isn’t a [...]

The Edwards Affair: The Non-Story I’m Totally Reading

It wasn’t particularly relevant to our nation’s governance when Bill did not have sexual relations with Monica, and Edwards’ alleged infidelity is no different. It is, however, culturally relevant in this year of the empowered female electorate; even if you’re not interested in gawking at the juicy details (great HuffPost by Lee Stranahan here), you [...]

Shoe Envy

I gave my mom her very own pair of Obama shoes (to match mine!) a couple weeks ago, which she wore to an event he was at in San Diego on Sunday. Naturally, I decided to rock my Power Business Chick Red Heels instead, and he wound up signing her kicks. Soooo unfair. Although, I [...]
