STSA: Lighter Side of Politics
Well, it’s finally over. I guess.
I hope your candidates won. I hope you’re optimistic and hopeful about the future. I hope you’re as glad as I am that the nasty political ads are finally done. There were a couple races here where I didn’t feel like voting for EITHER of them. They were just mean!
So, in their honor …
A little girl asked her father, “Daddy? Do all Fairy Tales begin with ‘Once Upon A Time’?”
He replied, “No, there is a whole series of Fairy Tales that begin with ‘If elected I promise’.”
My four year old and I were discussing holidays, and I asked him, “What is the day which comes after Halloween when you have turkey?”
My husband quickly answered, “Election day.”
While running for the Senate in New York, the young man’s political advisor heard some very upsetting news.
“Listen,” he said, “you must go to Albany right away or you’re going to lose a lot of votes. They’re telling lies about you there.”
“I have to go to Buffalo first or I’ll lose even more votes,” replied the candidate.
“Why? What’s happening in Buffalo?” the advisor asked.
“They’re telling the truth about me!” replied the candidate.
What’s wrong with political jokes?
They get elected.
Well, there you go. I hope it’s not a sad day for you today. I hope we stopped and made you smile if only for a moment.
Mostly, I hope you … have hope today. That would be a great thing for all of us, don’t you think.
Got something that makes you smile? Please, do send it along!
And, here, a few fun links to wrap up the campaign trail.
Big Smiles!
