I wonder if the invitation got lost in the mail

Today I crashed the debate between Cindy Sheehan and John Sununu at the Temple Adath Yeshurun in Manchester. It was fate I tell you. I crashed on the floor at Jamie Grady's Apartment just a few blocks from the temple that night. My life is truly charmed and strange.

I got there just as the Sheehan's people were setting up. I did some magic tricks and juggling for the supporters and gave my shtick about running for senate and told everyone to cross out the fine print on the ballot, write my name in, and also vote for whoever they were supporting. Down with the two party system. It felt fabulous.

When the debate began I stood in the back with my panted face and listened to each of those two fools give their opening statements. When the clapping subsided I shouted "You bleed the people. I'm Michael Lidman and I'm running for senate. Shut down Guantanamo bay. Stop torturing people in our names."

Eye shadow, 5$. Lipstick, 4$. The cow eyed vacant look on Sununu's face as Manchester's newest and most fabulous queen running for senate was escorted off the property, priceless.
