My sister meets Barack Obama

Last Saturday afternoon, I received an excited phone call from my sister Amy, who told me that she was with some friends in a pub beneath a bowling alley. The Secret Service had arrived and did their Secret Service thaang, and now Barack Obama was upstairs bowling a game.
Amy's a McCain supporter, a solid Republican, but she was excited. I told her that, no matter our political party, Barry's candidacy was history. Plus, that morning, the local paper had run an article about how we're so Republican and our State's primary so irrelevant that all Presidential candidates ignore this county.
Amy called back about half an hour later to tell me that she got a picture, and it's below. My sister was forced to stand next to Junior Casey, while a friend is pictured next to Barry. Please not that the three folks on the left – Barry, the friend, and Amy – are smiling, happy to be a part of a small even in Campaign 2008, while Junior Casey seems unsure of where he is.
Great fun was had by all (except for Junior, who looks like he might have been murmuring).
We came THIS CLOSE to being the State with the dumbest guy in the Senate; we were spared only by Virginia electing Jim Webb.
are you sure about that -- at least Webb can put enough thoughts together to author a few bad books. But then again, Webb keeps opening his stupid mouth so maybe he is the dumberer!

It was a free event on the very block where I used to get my coffee, a block away from where I worked, so I decided if he's right there, I'll go see and listen.
All of the candidates are welcome in my home for dinner but they won't change my mind and there's no campaigning at my dinner table.
I promise you he had NO idea where he was or what he was doing...
