Civic Duty
I will rarely blog about politics. This is because there are a lot of people who are experts in politics but there is only one who is an expert on me. Also, I get all my news from Entertainment Tonight. I do not know much about the candidates, but I do know that Susan Lucci is both excited to remain on Dancing with the Stars and super jazzed about the upcoming election. And come to think of it, I rode in an elevator with Joe Biden and my grandmother has a picture of Russia in her house so I am somewhat of an expert on the election.
Although I do not think it is my place to blog about politics, I discovered this morning that presidential candidate Senator John McCain is among my loyal readership. So, tonight with 12 days to the election, I make an exception.
Some of you are saying, Fat Spinsta, you have only blogged three times. What the f**k are you talking about? And to you, I say that is true. But, tonight I attended the training for the Election Protection Squad and I became inspired. As you are reading this Mr. McCain, I regret to inform you that I will be working the polls come Election Day for our next President.
So little of what I do as a lawyer means anything, but making sure that no one is deprived of his/her right to vote is meaningful. I encourage my readers who are also lawyers to join this effort. Please check the link below:

Those of you who aren’t, please become part of Obama’s Get Out the Vote. We have to win this election.
Mr. McCain, I hope this post does not stop you from reading future blogs about the adventures of Fat Spinsta.
My friends, I don’t care about some washed up old terrorist and his wife, but this blog was launched over brisket in Bill Ayer’s living room.
and to John McCain up there:
we *heart* that you made a reference to brisket. we *heart* brisket in wasila.we particularly like the brisket that is served at nate’s delicatessen in boca raton. in fact, we*heart* all things jewish or “jewey” as our friends in Israel say (and, boy, do we *heart* Israel). when we’re in charge of making policy in the senate we’re going to make it a law that israel be the united states’ BFFAE and wear matching BFFAE bracelets (from neiman’s, natch).
xoxo,
