Larainy Days: Arguing in Arizona

The semi-daily Republican presidential debate was held in Mesa, Arizona today because the candidates had worked their way through the states alphabetically back to front and it was finally our turn.

It was hosted by our beautiful Mesa Arts Center which is adorned with sails in case the desert ever turns back into a lake and we need something to keep us afloat.

Local news anchors were on hand and we did our best to walk back and forth incessantly in back of them, smiling with charm and enthusiasm, with fond hopes to appear on television, be discovered and go on to fabulous careers with ridiculous salaries

Max portrays his admiration for Lin Sue Cooney with a symbolic hand gesture

Ron Paul brings out the most fans who loudly support a cessation of foreign aid and sometimes smell like medical marijuana

My visiting granddaughter became an inadvertent CNN advertisement when she was awarded a paper fan.

She still doesn't know who to vote for

Except Uncle Jeff.

She definitely supports Jeff Flake for the United States Senate

All the really cool people do

just call me jo said...: I saw the interview with that super handsome and smart Jeff Flake. He is so eloquent and poised. You and your family are quite impressive. Love your granddaughter's confusion over her candidate. It looked like a most festive occasion. I enjoyed watching the debate. And best of all it's the last , isn't it?; February 23, 2012 at 6:40 AM

Melynda@Scratch Made Food! said...: Arizona is the hoppin place to be! But I have a question, does medical marijuana smell different than say non-medical marijuana? Maybe you could ask the candidates.......
