This photo by Ben Zvan of Analiese Miller, who is also known as The Anthropologist, is the entry in a voting contest that could get Ana a chance at a part in Mad Men (the cable TV thing).

It is necessary that you CLICK HERE and vote for Ana by giving her Five Stars (below the photo). Please do this right now, and again tomorrow. Don’t vote for any of the other contestants.

I’ve known Ana for nearly as long as I’ve lived in Minnesota, and I can vouch for her many talents. She is an accomplished stage and movie actress and model. She is also an excellent photographer, quite a good singer, and a diligent political activist, fine artist, and dog lover.

Ana took a large role in documenting the police actions at the Democratic National Convention one year ago, and more recently, donated hundreds of hours of her time working with a non-profit overseeing the Franken Senate Race recount. She is one of the Quiche Moraine team as well. I count Ana as one of my best friends evah. Tomorrow, I’ll be driving around town from coffee shop to coffee shop … well, checking my email and stuff. If you catch my drift.

Ana is currently in the top ten females in the contest, and if she remains there she’ll have a chance. Please vote now, every vote counts. If you don’t vote for Ana, don’t come back here because you are not my friend, OK????

Obama Town Hall on Health Care

Uncategorized

I just watched the last twenty minutes or so of the Obama Town Hall on Health Care. It is verified by the press that the vast majority of people at this town hall were randomly selected. So, if the Teabaggers are for real, some of them should have been at this town hall mouthing off and disrupting the event. But there was no one doing that. The questions being asked were respectfully, though too soft-ball for Obama’s taste. He kept requesting harder questions but they were hard to come by.

There was a Libertarian with a 9mm strapped to his leg sauntering around outside making a total ass of himself. Do people still call themselves libertarians anymore? Or is it just too embarrassing….

Meanwhile Senator Claire McCaskill is trying to hold a town hall meeting right now and the teabaggers are closing in, disrupting the meeting, and making general asses of themselves.

Why do Palin and Bachmann have the same regional accent?

Uncategorized,

Well, there are different theories on this, and one is that there is a regional accent that runs from the great Lakes across central and western Canada and the norther Tier of the US. That’s my theory, and I think it is correct. Furthermore, I think this accent is the product of Native American and Euro-Immigrant interaction int he 19th century through the depression.

But that theory, as with many of my theories, gets the White Folks mad because it attributes a feature they hold dear to subaltren little brown people and they tend to find that annoying.

Now we have a new theory that is not in conflict with mine but is more detailed.:

“…The reason Bachmann and Palin share a regional accent: A government-relief program in the 1930s populated Palin’s home region in Alaska’s Mat-Su Valley with Minnesotans…”

I like this theory because it is annoying, like my theory, but for different reasons. Teabag-dunking-luving Bachmann and Palin share a trait that comes from their similar backgrounds as the products of government assistance programs. Or at least linked through such a program.

So, what I’d like to know now, to balance the Palin-Bachmann level of government support they can attribute their very existence to, is what portion of Bachmann’s income has been from the government over her lifetime. Now she works for the government. Before being in Congress she …. oh, she worked for the government. But before that job? Oh, she worked for the government. But what about when she was a stay at home mom back in the day? Well, actually, fostering several dozen children as she did, she was essentially working for the welfare department, wasn’t she?
