Except that it's true.
So, I stopped by Doug Hoffman's campaign HQ on Saturday, to meet a lady from Carl Paladino's campaign for Governor, in order to pick up yard signs from her. I'm the Jefferson County point person for signs.
Doug Hoffman happened to be there, doing meet and greets. I shook his hand and made the usual pleasantries. As I turned to leave, the next guy stepped up. He was a rough-and-ready type, with a beard and working clothes. He shook Doug's hand, and said loudly "I'm a democrat. But I want you to know that if you win the primary, you've got my vote." I gave him a little smile as I walked out.
So then, I drive home and as I'm going up the sidewalk, two cops jump out of the bushes and yell "Surprise! Happy Birthday!" cause they were friends of mine.
OK, the last paragraph wasn't true, but I wanted to get one more required element in. My birthday's October.
