Sigh [View all]

Neither of my daughters picked up my political bug. Besides the political campaign we have to tolerate an evil Billionaire in Thailand who is trying to buy the government lock stock and barr ell so after my wife heard the story about Seamus my wife didn't want to hear anymore about the election, she was already fed up.

So when I talk to my daughters on the phone I can HEAR the eyes rolling, "yes Dad, I registered".

Well today I talked with my daughter and for the first time she was jacked. "This is important Dad I have to vote on Tuesday".

After years of dinner talks, forcing them to read books, even going to the High School and shout down and destroy two conservative social study teachers in two different schools and dragging them to anti war demonstrations my daughter was energized by Cher and Cathy.

I am sure you have seen it before but I had to post it again.

I could have saved all of that energy and frustration by simply emailing them a video of Cher.

Who knew?

Sigh.
