MOG

Thursday Night, I honestly think the VP debate couldn't have been scripted funnier; Palin has not only been able to capture America's heartland's "joe 6-pack" hearts, she's even caused the post-debate media to coin a new word: "folksy." (If I hear that word one more time....that or "you betcha," I too may turn into a pitbullish broad.)

If you were one of the 66.9 million people (most in US history to watch a presidential or VP debate), you know the sour reality of our current nation state (hell even you international Moggers are feeling the economic ripple effects). Even if you missed the debate, you may feel the 'change' in your pockets, or due to a pink slip or credit freeze or watching teeth-chattering congressmen doing the billion dollar budget summations on CNN. Or if you're an active reader of newspapers, magazines, or (gasp) blogs (which evidently Palin is not), you've felt the conditions spiral downward for the past 8 years. All of the above should be enough fodder to coerce you to register to vote (if not sprint to do so). Even on the off chance you still rest ambivalent about the future of this country (gulp), I'm hoping you find the following celeb-heavy video humorous yet effective to get yourself in those polls in November 4th.

The bottom line? Read between the bullshit: The DEADLINE TO REGISTER TO VOTE IS OCT 15th!!! Even if it's just registering your change of address, do it mates!

I just re-registered myself with a change of address in time for the deadline....

I hope you guys do too! You've got 1 wk before the deadline!!!! PS. For the record, I hate politics. But we speak to eachother on these blog mogs like friends and family...and my lil bro will verify- I've been haggling him to watch the debates, register, read, & vote as well! (I am also trying to get him to convert parties, tricky business)......

(The details below are from NY State's website; check your own for more info).

Much Love,
