When Ted Comes to Town

Hope you had yer daughters locked up.

Senator Ted Kennedy was just up the street from me this morning at the Fairhill Center in Cleveland campaigning for Barack Obama.

I'm guessing it was just a run-of-the-mill rally but I'll check to see if they post up a video over at C-SPAN's wonderful resource, Campaign Network, later on.

I also have a friend at work who's one of these activist types, so she may have brought her kids out there to be indoctrinated, er, educated this morning.

Either way, it gives me an opportunity to shamelessly post up a joke that seems to get recycled every election cycle since the Internet has been big.

Take a look at a sneak preview of the closing day of this summer's DNC convention in the Mile High City...
