I'm only going to make one comment about the political campaigns: Oy, short for oy vey. You don't have to be of one particular persuasion - Oy on both sides. Fill in the blank on whatever you feel Oy about.

Think I'll declare myself Whig.

What's on my fiscal mind is that I'm in charge of a collection at work for a gift card for my bosses' baby shower. (and no, I'm not working for Sarah Palin) I volunteered to keep the collection, and contributed a bit myself already but I rarely do it so I need a bit of guidance.

1.) Do I actively advertise or do I passively collect?

2.) If I advertise, do I do so amongst those who are invited to the shower, or do I throw it out to the whole workplace?

3.) If I advertise, is it a reminder, or is it something more? Personal touch and/or email?

I have about two weeks, so there's time.

    Rumour has it I'll be able to participate in a fall election. We're waiting for the announcement to happen within a week. It's tiddlywinks compared to your bloodsport, but at least I'll know what ridings I should consider for relocation next year.

    Will "Juneau"---errrr, "Juno" be screened at the baby shower?

    Ha hah hah ... no need for Juno, everyone involved is in their 30s.

    Wouldn't quite seem right to ask for donations from people not invited to the shower. I presume they know she is pregnant and if, in the sincerity of the hearts and size of their paycheck, they wish to give the boss a present, the option to give one personally always exists. Your not asking them takes any element of arm twisting out of the equation. I don't think a casual advert on a bulletin board hurts, though.

    Sure wish I could understand what Paulette is talking about. Paulette, are you going to be a US citizen?

    I know - Paulette, you're being mysterious. Big Grin Canada, or Japan after the wedding? Time to scour your blog with a fine toothed comb for clues.
