I wonder....

Today is Talk Like a Pirate Day!

And I am going to see Barack Obama at UM this morning.

Wonder if *he* will talk like a pirate? Because something like this would be amazing:

Obama speaks,"Aye we can!"

I could make a joke that Irked!John McCain sounds like a pirate all the time: Arrrrrrrr! Ye kids best be getting off my ship lawn!

And here is Joe Biden's acceptance speech from last month, as translated into pirate:

The pirate speaks,"Let me make this pledge t' you starboard here and now. For every American who be tryin' t' do t' starboard thin', for all those people in government who be honorin' t' pledge t' uphold t' law and honor t' Constitution, no longer will you hear t' eight most-dreaded words in t' English language, "T' vice president's office be on t' phone.""

Some Pirate!Palin:

Avast! Alaska be secceedin' from the union!

Okay, probably not - that's more Todd.

rookie131 made a wonderful icon for me! I'll load it on later, but for now, enjoy:


Photos and a video clip from the Obama rally at UM today, coming soon.

My Day, In Photos and a Video

	Working the Crowd
	Yes, we can, to opportunity and prosperity.
	Yes, we can heal this nation.
	Yes, we can repair this world.
	Yes, we can!
	No, he did not say -Aye, we can!-
	But you? You can say it if you want!
	Yes, you!

( And a bit of video )

This is the second time I've seen Obama speak - the first time was back in May at an event with about seven hundred people - today the arena held thousands. And it was full of cheering, excited, invigorated people who want the best for America.

I was thrilled to be a part of it. And you can catch it on cspan overnight, I think. You might catch me in the background during Debbie Wasserman-Schultz's speech.
