Rough Weekend

This was a rough weekend both personally and politically.  I am still feeling the ramifications of the personal disappointment and the political disappointment will be felt around the world for years to come.

I returned from Washington DC on Friday afternoon with my daughter.  Patricia woke me up early Saturday morning complaining that she was hot.  She was hot because the air conditioner crapped out.  I called my HVAC repairperson but his mother died and he has to go to Boston where his mother lived.

As if that wasn’t enough, my parents called and said they were without electricity and needed a place to stay.  I told them I had no A/C but I had electricity.  They have been here since Saturday.  This ended up working out because my parents can take Patricia to the pool while I work from home.

The political news was even worse.  Mexico had their elections over the weekend.  I had endorsed my Mexican counterpart Noes Toiaqui for President of Mexico, but she said the results were disastrous.  Enrique Peña Nieto won with 37% of the vote.  Ms. Toiaqui only had 34.  (34 votes, not 34%.)  She is currently gathering the voting data and she will be here later this week to look for a pattern to see what worked and what didn’t.  I am hoping there is something with the 34 votes that worked that can be applied to my campaign.  I am sure she can help me with what not to do based on the 70,000,000 Mexicans who voted for somebody else.

I am hoping I can an HVAC technician today.  Another heat wave is supposed to start tomorrow and my parents’ home might be without power until Friday.  What doesn’t kill me will make me stronger.  I’m going to look like I am on steroids by the end of the week.

Following the Leader

NOTE: This entry was written by Albee Thayer.  Ahmnodt will resume tomorrow.

Ahmnodt Heare asked me to write something today while he observes Vanna White Day (whatever that is.)  I will discuss some of the things I have learned from Ahmnodt since he named me to be his running mate.

• Campaigning in cemeteries – I still have a lot of learning to do.  I don’t know how Ahmnodt is able to know he is getting results, but I can’t tell.  I talk to them, but I can’t tell if what I am saying is getting through.
• Campaigning abroad – Not only have I been campaigning for the Heare and Thayer ticket, but when I am in Mexico, I have been campaigning with Independent candidate for President Noes Toiaqui.
• Adding to the platform.  Ahmnodt asked me if there was anything I wanted to add.  I didn’t have an answer then, but I have been working on it.  It will be on voting reform and I hope to present it next week.

I watched the few Republican debates, but it’s been like getting root canal done by an auto mechanic.  I haven’t watched lately but I heard I am better off for that.  I am preparing to debate Joe Biden and whoever will be the vice-president candidates for the Republican Party and Vermin Supreme.

The campaign trail awaits me.  I’ll be out there.  Albee Thayer for America.  Albee Thayer for You.

Teleprompter Snafu

I followed the advise of my advisors and bought a telepromper for my speeches.  I had it set up for a speech I was making at the Seniors Center in Honesdale, PA.  I wasn’t really making a speech on any policy.  I was the guest Bingo caller.  I had never used a teleprompter before, so I figured that today would be a good day to test it out.  The Teleprompter was made in Mexico by a company called “Leerados”  There were visual problems and the text was in Spanish.

The text was in Spanish and seemed to jump out of the teleprompter.

I ended up having to call the Bingo games without the teleprompter.  It was difficult at first, but I learned to read the balls like it was coming off of a teleprompter.

My Mexican Counterpart

I am pleased to see others running for office with a platform similar to mine.  One such candidate is running for President of Mexico.  She wants to clean up the CineMafia in her country as well as similar plans like planting apple trees throughout Mexico as part of her health care plan.

Noes Toiaquí and I both started out from nowhere.  But as people have grown weary as business as usual, people are looking for people like Noes and me to change things.  Together, we can make things better for North America.

Drug Policy

I haven’t fully explain my policy on illicit drugs.  It was based on the flaw I found on the “Just Say No” policy founded by Nancy Reagan.  The flaw is that they can’t say “No.”

My policy is different because it takes into consideration that people are curious and people want to feel better during tough economic times.  This is why I have stuck with my “Just say, ‘O.K. but just this once'” policy.  Not only does it allow people to fill their curiosity, but it also allows an out before they get addicted.

I don’t know why the “War on Drugs” issue wasn’t talked about more.  Instead of putting drug users into overcrowded prisons, I would make them work for the farms who have lost labor because the help moved back to Mexico.

Message Spreading Around the World

My message isn’t just spreading all over the country, it’s spreading around the world.

Ahmnodt Around the World

The blue stars is where people viewing the website come from.  The red stars show where $1000 contributions come from.  People in Canada, the Netherlands, Great Britain, Italy, Mexico, and Australia have had at least three people access the site in the last three days.  They want their voices heard in electing the leader of the free world. With a little help, we can get this done.
