More politics.... and cupcakes!


Last weekend, I took my sister and her friend to picturesque Chagrin Falls, which is the home of Calvin and Hobbes creator Bill Watterson and where I interned (at the local newspaper) in college.

Driving into town, there was a road where nearly every house had McCain-Palin signs, one on each side of the driveway. There was a lone Obama-Biden sign.

But when we were wandering around, there was a Rally in the Valley for Obama. Interestingly -- and hysterically -- there were cardboard cutouts of both Bill and Hillary Clinton, but Obama was nowhere to be seen. There was also an animatronic donkey that twitched its ears, blinked and opened and closed its mouth. It was pretty freaky. Neither my sister nor her friend wanted to get their picture taken with any of the aforementioned Democratic props.

Everyone was much more excited about the cupcake case in a men's clothing store across the street. No, I can't explain it either. But the pumpkin spice one was delicious.
