Some last minute political oddities in Orange County, CA

-
The day began on a happy note, and the children's sincere enthusiasm for this historic election day had my spirits high..., but then , after I dropped them off I began what I can only describe as a creepy ride home on Election Day, in Los Alamitos, CA.

Then, I started noticing the signs...Which I think were actually pranks, but only showed up now.

I don't know who "B.A.M.S.M.A.S.H." is, but they managed to plaster the area this morning with some bizarro signs.

Later, I passed a Prop 8 Rally where the demonstrators were people happy to show their colors -- until,that is, I pulled out my camera...then they hid behind their signs. Pretty funny, actually.

See for yourself the kind of signs I saw today on the way home from dropping my kids at school.

I don't even get some of these signs...

Yeah, I was surprised to discover all these signs today, but what's even more puzzling is -- what the heck do they even mean?

I think they're meant to be derogatory, but they're also so random and obscure that I can't be sure if that they're not just total pranks.

What do you think?

I think the reason you don't get these signs is that they
make no sense!!!

The people writing them are not
the sharpest knives in the drawer.

As Ben says "People are stupid."

Even tho' that sounds oversimplified, I think it is the true root of all of it !

Mysterious Skin: Amazing night of theater at East West Playersysi

-
Last night I made my way up and out of Orange County to go see Mysterious Skin, written by Prince Gomolvilas now enjoying it's Los Angeles premiere at East West Players. ***Note:  I am not a reviewer.  I am not a critic.  (I married one, which is why I can say with confidence, I am not this.  If you want real reviews of Mysterious Skin  you'll have to look to other publications wise enough to have send their press in to cover this show now running at East West Players.) Me? Currently, I am just an Orange County mom who loves theater almost as much as she loves writing.  (True, I used to act, but now I just "mom."  And I write.  But, again to clarify: Not a critic.) And these her blogged thoughts are just my day-after impressions after having seen some great theater in Los Angeles last night. I have to say, I was in a hurry.  I had my kids to juggle,  too pick up from their schools...Dance classes, etc.  Hustling them hom...

Here we go with one more political freak out about "socialism"...again.

-
I'm seeing more of this brewing, festering hate lately, and I just can't get my brain around it all. The pick up trucks on the freeway with their proud "teabagger" stickers. Occasional social gatherings where I over here mutterences like, "the next time it'll be Mitt's turn." or some other bizarre garbage.  I mean, I live in Orange County, so occasionally even when I try to help it, this does occur. But, the truth is, I just don't get the beef.   Ever heard of Medicare?  That's government healthcare which alot of them wouldn't be willing to give up.  Why is logic such a stretch for these people? Check out this video below where this guy goes bat-shit ballistic over his apparent resistance to "socialism." What is most scary is that people seem hellbent on hate, regardless of what that means.  Some people just want a huge drama and hate-fest whether or not it's logical. The hate addiction is what scares me the most...

I tried to flush Schaeffer's sweater down the toilet.

Especially when those paths go back even farther than high school.  I think he and I were butting heads as far back as elementary school! If my memory serves me right, Schaeffer and I ended up, briefly, in the Guilford Central School together.  Fall 1968.  Yep. I was a newly transplated girl from New Orleans dropped unceremoniously into a tiny, extremely humble elementary school out in the boondocks of southern Vermont.  I had NO idea what the hell I was doing there and was suffering my own case of "Other-itis."   I In my case, as an only child of often charming, but highly eccentric parents, my wild ride hit some very bumpy patches, More on that later. Back to Eric:  See as a newcomer that year to Vermont from New Orleans I had an accent.  I wore dresses and probably continuing too make my parents happy by literally curtseying to the adults they trotted me out to meet. Politely.  Of course.  That was my job.   I can promise ...
