Desparate is as desparate does! In any case, I am more than likely, incredibly likely and absolutely likely to laugh my head off at that picture! Could it be captioned -- Oops, I forgot my flag pin? Because if it's not pinned to her underwear, she's not wearing one! Or perhaps that's the cause of the pained expression! Greetings from The Cranky Woman!

So I made a little post (linked above) to define it for myself and others who might not be so politically aware. Here are some of the keywords in the definition: * Guise - cloak, cover, disguise, false colors, front, mask, masquerade, pretense, pretext, semblance, veil, veneer * Propaganda - misinformation, distortion, lies, rabble rousing, fear-mongering, demagoguery * Rumor mongering - Gossiping, scuttlebutt, innuendo, misinforming, calling fire in a crowded theater, crying wolf * Masquerading - a false outward show, false appearance, pretend to be someone or something that you are not * Innuendo - insinuation, implication, incrimination * Negative campaigning - Bush, Rove, Clinton * Condemned - wrong, guilty, worthless, unacceptable * Illegal - against the law, prohibited, criminal I wasn’t sure what a push poll was when I read this story this morning.
