Barack Obama

Just as when I lined the top row of my 'VOTE DEMOCRAT' sign with about 10 small flags. Hoping (perhaps foolishly) that maybe they'd be reluctant to shoot at the flag. Although I hedged my bets by placing the sign in the side yard so if they did shoot, they'd be less likely to hit the house.

On the back of the official TCL shirt, there are great big letters across the back reading "Love thy Neighbor" and below in smaller letters 'thy immigrant neighbor', 'thy Muslim neighbor', 'thy atheist neighbor' and so on. Plenty of categories to tick off the locals.

Trouble is, in order to walk the talk, I'll be forced to be as nice as possible to my fellow townsmen because they, too, are my neighbors - whether any of us like it or not.
