State of Obvious

With so many tough issues facing our future, it's important to take a minute and vote for the best My Little Pony Show.  You can make a difference! Online Surveys  &  Market Research I guess you could take a minute and vote in that other election, too.

Emotions at election headquarters were running high tonight. But as the end drew near and it became clear that Joshua would eek out a victory by just 3 votes, it turned ugly. Well as ugly as someone this cute can get, which is more like amusing. Tempers flared and soon the candidates were brawling! There is a slight, outside chance that the excessive amounts of Halloween candy coursing through their bodies might have had something to do with it. Joshua proved he'll be able to reach across the aisle to work with former opponents. The losing candidates shed some tears. But in the end there can only be one President of Our House.

There's only 2 days left to vote for P.O.O.H. Political analysts are speculating that voter exhaustion is setting in. While the trend in voter apathy tends to favor our underdog candidate , Carly, Joshua's camp is holding firm in it's assertion of victory. Many of you have wondered just what will happen to the person that claims the P.O.O.H. title. Riches? Fame? Blame for every ill that strikes the House? President of Our House is a 1 day appointment wherein the elected official gets to set all rules, make all decisions, and boss everyone around. There will be plenty of pork barrel spending, useless meetings, and photo ops. If Joshua were to win, the Toy Store industry will see a spike in activity. If Carly wins...well things won't really change. The DIVA already thinks she's in charge. If Eric wins, my life will be hell. While I realize I just swung at least 3 votes to Eric's camp ( courtesy of my siblings, and possibly my parents) I may have solidified Josh...

No, not those polls, who cares about that particular race? I'm talking about the P.O.O.H. Somehow Eric has pulled even in the polls. Without a single stump speech (at least not one that's been officially documented, trust me there's been LOTS of speeches about POOH), campaign poster, or P.O.O.H. promise made. This is serious business people. I smell a fix . Eric claims he has only been voting for himself once a day. His rise-to-even has been nothing less than meteoric, however. Shall we speculate together? Yes, let's. Theory T} Eric is voting for himself once a day on each computer which actually comes out to thrice a day if you include his work computer. Theory H} Eric has enlisted ACORN in his quest for the crown. Theory E} Eric has enlisted his work buddies in his quest for the crown. Theory F} Eric hacked the poll. Theory I} I suddenly got popular. Theory X} Any combination of the above, excluding the clearly far-fetched I. In an effort to regain h...

Carly is making sure to look her best for the final leg of the election. It's not Sarah Palin's glasses, but fashion experts expect to see Carly's makeup theory spread nationwide very soon. Our other candidate in real contention, Joshua, is distributing his first round of TV ads. His budget is low, somewhere in the neighborhood of $0.00, so Josh will be pulling out of key voter states in an effort to win the states with the most electoral votes the votes that really matter. Look for his ads to show up soon. As in whenever his mom can figure out why movie maker hates the video we shot. Confusion over placement of the voting poll and initial reports that you could vote 'as often as you wanted' generated outraged email from our constituents. In an effort to be almost fair, we've tracked down vital information that will help you stack get out the vote. You can vote for the candidate of your choice in the upper right hand corner of the site. Also, if you del...

So Josh is really getting into this whole election, politics thing. And I know you won't believe it - especially if you share DNA with me - but it is not because of any encouragement from me. Last night Josh decided he is going to run for President of Our House . He spent about an hour up in his room working on his campaign. It was crazy quiet. You might think that would alarm me, but I mostly just liked that he was focused on something other than Calvin and Hobbes books or SpongeBob. Small victories. He called me up to come visit his campaign headquarters. He had set up a box as a table. You can't see it, but behind this is a little cardboard box stool for Josh to sit on. The front of the box says: Prebuilt Toys and Legos Cost Your Vote For Me That's right, he's buying votes . He's so ready for American politics! I asked him what kind of things he would do for me as President of the House (for a day). He made some fantastic promises: He would clean his r...
