I actually spent 2 lovely days over on Chincoteague and politics, particularly VA politics only came up once.
Someone, not from around these parts, said something about hearing of the great job the VA governor was doing and while I was snorting beer out my nose my husband brought up the tax increase and I finally composed myself enough to say someting snide about "Marky Mark".........it got funnier after that..........
He said I thought there was a woman governor here and I said that was Delaware and he said he thought that was NJ - and I then gave the litany of Gov's - the former in NJ is a fag, the woman Gov in Del is a disaster, the MD Gov is referred to affectionately at the "boy governor" and VA has a damnedyankee carpetbagger for a Gov. Of the lot of them, the only decent one in the bunch is the one in Maryland.
Of course being the only residents of the Commonwealth in the group, we probably could have gotten away with saying anything we wanted, but you will both be happy to know that we just stuck with the facts.
LOL! You go girl! Like they say - truth is stranger than fiction.
Happy 4th to you and yours!
