One more bragfest about my husband, yesterday Sparky got motivated and called the Harris County Democratic Party to find out where he could get a yard sign. We've literally had dozens pop up in our neighborhood after the Dubya/Kerry debate, I'm feeling better about my neighborhood. One entire street has Kerry signs (and one lone Bush sign). The Republican across the street finally put his Bush sign up (right next to his giant US flag).

So he called and found there was an office in the middle of our local gang infested mall (which we both worked at back in the 80's when kidnappings and murders were a pretty regular occurrence), which we try not to go to even though it's the closest major mall. But he waded through the ne'er-do-wells that were hanging out in the free AC and found the Dems kiosk. He got two yard signs, a couple of more stickers and their last button. We only put one sign out because I keep reading that people are rampantly stealing and defacing signs for both parties this year. So I can now sit at my desk and see the sign from the front window, I'm happy.

On a similar note, when I was flipping through the post VP debate reviews last night I decided to look for a breakdown of the truths and lies and typed in factcheck.com (I swear I didn't hear Dick say that it must have been some sort of subliminal thing), and it bounced me to George Soros.com (where the banner is "Why We Should Not Re-elect President Bush"), which I thought was strange at the time. Watching the clips today on TV I heard Cheney had actually told people to go to "factcheck.com" to verify one of his lies, which is not even the correct web address, so FactCheck.org deliberately forwarded the .com URL to George Soros' anti-Bush site after Cheney's miscomment. And they put up a rebuttal saying they did not support his statements about Halliburton.

Also apparently the RNC said something rude about Chris Matthews post-debate comments about Cheney's lies so he attacked them right back this evening. Real smart guys, attack an attack dog who had been tentatively defending you, go get 'em Chris! This is getting to be fun...
