Living in DC means people "from away" (to use a Maine term) often assume you have some secret, insider's knowledge on the political scene. And if I'm asked one more time if I've seen the President or a terrorist, I'll be giving them wrong directions to the Washington Monument. Several people have asked me to write about my thoughts on the current presidential race. Which candidate do I feel is the most genuine, or offers the most hope or change? Obama or McCain? Conservative or liberal? Democrat or Republican? Like music and movie reviews, I'm never really sure why my opinion really matters that much, other than for good conversation or debate (which I love). But of course my ego soon wakes up and dives into the ring before I have the chance to stop it.
I think I'll make a bumper sticker. I'll put it next to this one. (Picture courtesy of www.werescrewed08.com)

That's a funny blog spot! I totally agree about all of it. It's hilarious - I work in DC with the military - therefore everyone outside of the area thinks I work at the pentagon and I have a Penn Ave. address till they actually come and visit. Then, they realize I don't even live in DC and I don't work anywhere near or as glorious as the pentagon. hehehe. I'm all for giving them wrong directions to the Washington Monument.
