Soup Or Tuesday
About this time a year ago was super tuesday . This is a presidential primary thing. When you live in a non-swing state, this is the only time you get to make a choice.
By the time ST arrived, the field of contenders had thinned down. No one knows what the rejects were doing. The rumors of a Herman Cain – Michele Bachmann liaison are too gruesome to contemplate.
Among the choices was the incumbent, BHO. He has to juggle running the country, preventing war, getting reelected, and being the father of teenage girls.
This commentary will be in alphabetical order.
Newt Gingrich used to represent Georgia in Congress. He has stage presence. He still has all his hair, and does not dye it. Callista Gingrich has great hair. The daughter of Mr. Gingrich defended him, regarding his divorce from wife number one.
Barack Obama has killed more men with beards than any Republican.
Ron Paul is the only candidate to have served in the military. He is opposed to the promiscuous use of US military power. Bruno thinks Dr. Paul is much cuter than Enrique Iglesias.
Mitt Romney has the most money of any candidate.
Rick Santorum has the most children of any candidate.
The voting will take place at Ashford Park Elementary School. PG was a student there. There is a sepia picture of Dr. Thomas, who was the Principal. Seeing an antique looking picture, and realizing that you knew the person, makes you feel old. The voting is sometimes held in the cafetorium. It is not the only time PG has held his nose in that facility.
The so called real election took place in November. America had to juggle the chores of sorting out the hype, keeping the economy going, and buying the latest consumer products. Swing state voters had the additional duty of choosing the POTUS.

I love those photos! So expressive! (And the writing is very indicative of the feelings generated in the artwork.)
Thank you. Every year there is a graffiti festival called Living Walls. On the sunday after it is over, I drive around and take pictures. The address of the police headquarters is not photoshopped.
You art posts are spectacular! Very cool.
okay – I just chuckled at your comment about police headquarters. That is much too good to be true . . . not that I know much about the meaning of 4-20, but I have heard. :)
Ha ha. I’m laughing at Barbara’s comment. Great post. I love the way you infuse your writing with political passion and art at the same time. Nice.
I admit it: I had to Google 420. Lovely post as usual.
I love the very honest political commentary.
This is a repost. It was edited to get under the 333 word threshold. In the original, I said that if you can’t say anything nice, not to say anything at all. That is a challenge with presidential politicians.
We Canadians often have a watchful eye on the politics of your country because whatever you folks decide ends up washing on our shore. I don’t get some of the political references that you make……but, that it probably a good thing for me. :). As always, love the melding of photography, art and writing.
First off, I’m an old leftie. I have to agree with your appraisal of Pres. O regarding the bombing. Drones are too objectionable to mention… I could not have stomached Mitt in there, because his detritus was Paul Ryan. He’s from my state, Wisconsin (yeah, lots of turmoil there, and I live in Madison) and know he is out to bust every union and privatize so much. Think of five garbage trucks from different companies spewing soot on your street and having to bid to have your street paved. Do you go in with the whole block? Oy. Also, the charter school experiment in my former town of Buffalo, NY, failed in too many ways to count… Go ahead and hate the union leaders (they are mostly greedy, with a side of hubris) but the rank and file are being demonized. :(
Your art is amazing; what a festival! Each with its own energy and vibe. I truly love GOOD street art (not tagging), and I have to say this is one of the best collections “juggled” onto one post I’ve seen. Brill! Amy

Thanks for taking the time to write. You didn’t even say LOL.
