[AGL] life is so much fun dept.

[Michael Eisenstadt]

I don't kinda like him. I need to see his specific platform. What is 
your take on him having voted for Republican legislation 30% of the time 
for the 3 terms he served in the House? Have you read the Guardian 
article? I did say that he might be a natural like Bill and Obama, love 
magnets with somehow always or almost always the right moves.

Does Elizabeth Warren wear blue-tinted contact lenses? Is that feasible? 
A sleuth should determine her natural eye color from surviving photos. 
Or is she a natural blue-eyed brunette?

It is a mistake of judgment to fall for politicians as though they were 
movie stars. Politicians are /supposed/ to know your name, they make it 
their business to know all the groupies' names. I was amazed a few years 
ago on Congress Ave where there was a scrum of important people not far 
from where I was standing to hear Lloyd Doggett address me by name from 
around 25 feet away: Hey, Michael! He mustard known me from the Scholz 
Garten.
