It's amazing to me how gullible sheep people can be.  They give me their money when I promise the moon.  Granted, I studied hard, learned well and am making money hand over fist.

All I have to do is make a speech.  Mind you, my speeches are profound, thought provoking and promising.  This is a gift I believe I was born with.  I have the ability to manipulate people with my charisma and a simple tip of the hat.  I've honed my talents to a keen edge and I am proud to be rich.

I'm a politician and for no particular reason, I say absolutely nothing.

Okay, fine - it's a stretch.

This was fin for no particular reason. What a great post that you used to more than meet Thursday's Challenge. You really met it my friend, well done....do it again!
Pam Brittain Aug 16, 2012, 9:31pm UTC
I want an easier challenge. What? Do you, Len, Andrea, Doug and Greg all conspire against me.
Kevin E. Aug 16, 2012, 9:33pm UTC
Well actually no but that's not a bad idea (wink).
Pam Brittain Aug 16, 2012, 9:35pm UTC
Hey!
Angela A. Aug 16, 2012, 9:27pm UTC
Good one!
Pam Brittain Aug 16, 2012, 9:31pm UTC
Thanks, Angela. I loved your shortie.
JOHN BECK Aug 16, 2012, 9:46pm UTC
Cute. But "sharp keen" is redundant. Just "keen" would be plenty.
JOHN BECK Aug 16, 2012, 9:47pm UTC
Thanks for posting to Triple Name Club.
Pam Brittain Aug 16, 2012, 10:00pm UTC
I fixed it before too many others read it. You are so helpful to me. Thanks, John Beck.
Alice G. Aug 16, 2012, 11:12pm UTC
Well she is a golden-tongued politician and they are often redundant or repugnant or one or several of those "re" words. And they believe the potential sheep are dumb anyway.
Tanya P. Aug 16, 2012, 11:28pm UTC
She still has a "do do" in there, though. heehee
Pam Brittain Aug 17, 2012, 3:27pm UTC
Blush. Thanks, Tan. I fixed it even thought it probably too late. Why is it so hard to see your own mistakes?
Pam Brittain Aug 17, 2012, 3:34pm UTC
Alice, you may "re"gret saying that.
Tanya P. Aug 17, 2012, 8:56pm UTC
LOL....If it hadn't been that specific duplication (typo, really) of words, I wouldn't have said anything, but how often do we get to tease over the "do do"? If you and I had been together while I teased you about it, we would have taken off with the silly potty jokes.

Bing Crosby as he's flushing the toilet. ♫♫♫La da do do.♫♫♫
Tanya P. Aug 16, 2012, 11:30pm UTC
I love this, Pam. Very creative and seemingly too true. ***applause***

(I'm not over here much anymore, so am not catching everything you're posting. If I miss one you really want me to see, give me a heads up and a link, like I used to do for you.)
Pam Brittain Aug 17, 2012, 3:29pm UTC
Thank you, Tan. If I write something that I feel is outstanding, I'll definitely send you a link. I miss you on Gather, but hope you're having fun taking pictures.

Reminds me of that old Robert Redford movie "The Candidate". Was that movie an eye-opener!!!
Pam Brittain Aug 17, 2012, 3:30pm UTC
I"m not sure I've seen that one. I'll have to check out Netflix.
Rayda Renshaw Aug 18, 2012, 1:27am UTC
It's a very good example of what the whole political machine is all about and what it really takes to get elected. Made me sick of politicians' political rhetoric very fast!
Diane Huizenga Aug 17, 2012, 12:02am UTC
lol awesome my thoughts exactly
Pam Brittain Aug 17, 2012, 3:31pm UTC
Thanks, Diane. I wonder if these editors will ever give us an easy challenge.
Bernard C. Aug 17, 2012, 4:18am UTC
Well, there you go..getting to the truth of the matter..how long have you had these symptoms? Here, take these two per day for a week and longer cruise out on the Bahamas...we'll see you in congress.. LOL

Thanks for sharing and submitting to

I was a registered lobbyist for a couple of years and I'm pretty sure of what I'm talking about.

Thanks for the sea sick pills.
Richard Thuss Aug 17, 2012, 10:20am UTC
I like it, Pam
Pam Brittain Aug 17, 2012, 3:33pm UTC
Thank you, Richard. Considering your wonderful sense of humor, I'm quite honored.
Ms Lee P. Aug 17, 2012, 3:38pm UTC
Awww, cute story. I hope it isn't true .... I keep hoping.
Pam Brittain Aug 17, 2012, 5:00pm UTC
Do I every say anything? Dream on.
Barbary Chaapel Aug 17, 2012, 10:08pm UTC
Them dratted sheeple will believe anything!


Excellent, Pam.
Pam Brittain Aug 17, 2012, 10:11pm UTC
Thanks, Barbary. I sheepishly bow to your compliment. :)
