I've written, about politicians wearing makeup and I've written Prudent Candidates Need Not Apply. I’ve had enough of Obama and McCain. This election year is exhausting. It seems I can relate more with Joe the Plumber and Joe Sixpack. I can't but ponder: are they related? I wonder if they are twins? Brothers? Cousins? They are hopefully not inbred.

I would like to have a new election in the final weeks. Joe the Plumber against Joe Sixpack. Apparently these Joe dudes have all the answers. (I don’t even know anyone named Joe).

I think Joe the Plumber would be a valid candidate because he is fully loaded. No one wants crappy problems and he takes them head on. He has experience in taking care of back logs. He has a loaded bag full of tricks. He clears and takes care of all pipes, thus keeping things moving freely. He will keep Washington clean. We all know a straight flush beats a full house. Although the argument could be he has a crappy job that stinks.

I would consider Joe Sixpack, but I would just need more information. To consider Joe Sixpack, I would need to know what type of beer he drinks. Keystone? Heineken? Amber? Light? The type of beer one drinks tells a lot about someone. Their budgeting, taste, lifestyle, etc. However, with that being said I think someone with more experience than a six pack would be better suited for Washington. A six pack just screams amateur status. I would want a Joe in office more like Joe, Fifth of Vodka.

Although I think Joe Sixpack is probably a suitable candidate, I think my vote sways to Joe the Plumber. Don’t get me wrong. I like beer. But not beer bellies.

Also, I vote that Vice President should be Obama girl. Regardless of which Joe is elected. Because well, she’s just sexy. That being said, I think she needs a new Palin haircut.  Or atleast Palin bangs.

Go Joe!!!

I don't have a candidate's flag in front garden. I don't wear a shirt endorsing candidates with over-the-top padding to make my breasts look 2 sizes more busty. I don't endorse either party at this point. But I am a Social Network fiend. I live for it. I dream about social networking. Thus I can't deny videos.

First there was Obama Girl. Then The Great Schlep.Oh, and don’t forget Paris Hilton running for president. These videos are hilarious to me. The Obama Girl and Paris are super hot. Although they are super sexy, it still doesn’t clarify who I will be voting for.

I'm very in tune with appearances in the political race of 2008. As I have already illustrated... Not that this is the most important. But since I'm not sure who to vote for, it's fun.

If a sexy woman ran the country.....

- Maybe we could declare holidays for cramps or PMS. Maybe we could get the whole country on the same menstrual schedule.

- Maybe we could work into medical plans that teeth whitening is a necessity not cosmetic.

- Maybe Botox would be considered an prophylactic anti-depressant treatment. Thus being covered by all medical coverage.

Daily our children take fields trips. As parents we worry about the buses they ride in. We worry about the food they will be eating. We worry about the class bully. But do you worry that your children may be visiting a place where men are found carrying assault rifles and over 100 rounds of ammunition?     >>Read More on Mom eConnect >>

There’s a review/interview on Truxtun Avenue where I give my opinion on the passions and toughness of working on a start-up company.  The article centers around Guy Kawasaki’s latest book “Reality Check,” which hits stores Oct. 30.  Check out the great article and leave a comment on Truxtun Avenue.  I would love to hear what you have to say!  Here is an excerpt from the article:

 

If ever there was a writer with a book that both creates and finds a new pool of irreverent-minded, work-passion-obsessed entrepreneurs, that’s Guy Kawasaki. Notice, the key word wasn’t "help," but “find.” That’s because his latest book, “Reality Check: The Irreverent Guide to Outsmarting, Outmanaging, and Outmarketing Your Competition” may just be the perfect tool for those who are smart, hard-working, and benevolent-minded enough to not just have a successful business start-up, but perhaps network with a man who has a golden touch.

 

It’s a bumpy ride, though. So after you get a copy, you might want to Velcro yourself to that office chair.  >>Read the entire article >>

 

Kawasaki helped direct from the front lines on two different occasions on the Apple/IBM advertising wars. He is director/advisor for a slew of golden companies.  Guy Kawasaki is the man behind www.alltop.com  I’m eager with anticipation for Guy Kawasaki's latest book to be released.  I personally feel as though I know Guy from reading his column in Entrepreneur Magazine for many years.  He is bright, sincere and to the point.  I look forward to more of Kawasaki’s great advice.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've been watching the Vice President debate tonight. I'm not sure who I'm going to vote for when the big day comes. I won't even disclose what party I'm registered. I can say, that I feel more confused tonight than before.

As for Sarah Palin, I feel like she started the debate on a negative note. Which then I feel lead the tone for the entire debate. A barrage of negativity. Sarah walked on stage, waved at the crowd, then blew them a kiss. Well it was with that hand she shook Senator Joe Biden's hand and asked, can I call you Joe? Then she looked away back to the crowd. Waving to crowd upon the approach to her podium. Um, yeah,it's not a beauty pageant with your figure eight wave lady. And who wants to shake a hand with lips all over them. Hello, we are approaching flu season. Although he lips are pretty. I did like her mom approach to most of her debate. Oh and of course I like her makeup. Her lips and eyes were accented with a beautiful color display. Maybe I can call her for make-up and beauty tips? She was very poised. I wonder if she can carry books on her head and walk a straight line. On a side note, what is "dog gone it"? "Dog gone it" vote for me? She seems very sweet. Can she run the country though is the country.

I like Joe Biden's experience and he is well presented. In fact, he made me choke up when he talked about what it's like to be a hard working family sitting around the kitchen table. He pulled at my heart strings. I don't think it was fake emotion. However, I think all politicians do take drama classes. The biggest thing I don't like about Joe Biden is he wants to tax the heck out of the upper class. I don't think that's fair. Because someone works hard and see financial successes they would be penalized. It should be evenly distributed in my opinion. Who knows what he says is true. He's a politician for crying out loud! he too had nice make-up on. Although the color was a little dark for his skin tone. Thus didn't match his scalp seen through his thinning hair.

Just a thought. I'm middle class. I'm a mom. I have a career. I wanted to be 7th grade class president. I'm a leader. I'm organized. I love the make-up counter. Sometimes I'm neurotic and crazy. I'm analytical. Always ask why. I think of alternatives after my morning coffee. I like my spices and my CDs to be in alphabetical order. I've never had braces. But I have whitened my teeth. Everything else is real. VOTE FOR ME. I would like to be considered Vice President of the United States.
