Republicans Going Native??

While I was surfing the net looking for a pic of McCain (which I found and put up on my last post), I came across this photo. Totally looks like Giuliani and McCain are greeting each other with a hongi.

While other members of their party would probably be mortified at the thought of greeting by rubbing noses, I'm pretty sure these two would be cool with it. They both seem open to unfamiliar cultural practices. Especially McCain who gave a shout out to Navajo people in Arizona during one of the debates.

This is one of those posts . . .

where we're giving an opinion. Scroll down for entertainment if you're not in the mood to read.

Barack Obama for President.

After watching all the pundits and the endless amounts of debates, after all the reading and discussing and reading and discussing some more, Barack is the one.

We are certain he will:
Unify America
Balance our Budget
End the war
Build international allies
Increase National Security
Meet the needs of people who have experienced the effects of natural disaster
Repair our broken health care system
Provide solutions to the environment crisis
End the joke of all programs: No Child Left Behind

But most of all:
He is righteous and he will lead.



On the Republican side:

I heart John McCain. Ti likes him too. It disappoints us that, at times, he is hard pressed for support from his party. We believe he is also a righteous man. Unlike the front runners in his party, he is honest, forthright, insightful, and an American hero. He deserves the nomination.

Merry Christmas

Christmas Day was quite fun and super cold.

Started out by going to see Camille and Celeste open presents! When you're an adult watching children open gifts, it is sooooo much better to give than to receive. I get that now.

Then potlucked with a few fun families.

This was my favorite dish of the day:

Yummiest. Salad. Ever.

Made by my friend and the photo was lifted from her family blog.

Ingredients:
Asian bitter lettuce
Sliced Starfruit
Chopped walnuts or macadamia nuts
goat cheese crumbles
lilikoi
dried cranberries
clenentine slices
she had vinegarette on the side but i didn't need any dressing.

Delish.

Then we went home and took naps.

Perfect.
