Vegetable Trays for Change!
I took a vacation day from work today to spend phone banking for Obama at the Montgomery county headquarters. There was tons of junk food, everything from TastyCakes to hot dogs and saurekraut to potato chips to blueberry muffins. Some bagels with every sort of cream cheese you can imagine.
About halfway through the morning someone drops off a vegetable tray. The volunteers descend upon it like lions on a fresh buffalo. "I haven't seen a vegetable in days!" exclaimed a phonebank captain. "I'm diabetic," said another volunteer. "I can't eat all this crap. I want veggies!"
"A vegetable tray, a salad, anything!" exclaimed another volunteer. Am I in a bizarre alternate universe here a truly honorable man is about to become president and regular folks are begging for vegetables?
I pledged to ring a giant vegetable tray tomorrow, complete with my homemade fat free spinach artichoke dip and some roasted red pepper dip. Fresh, low cal, and yummy!
Please get out and vote. This election is truly historic. I will be doing my calls and making my veggies.

Oh no! The presidential election has invaded even this blog (which has been my escape from election -related talk for the past year). Nonetheless, I enjoy reading your writing. Keep it up!
