My Mom Should Be on the Huffington Post
Everybody and their mother said that Sarah Palin resembles Tina Fey. But not my mother. She knew that was way too easy. (Wow, a brunette with glasses.) My mom knows that to get to the bottom of celebrity lookalikes in this campaign, one needs to think outside the box. The following is an actual email from my mom, sent minutes after the conclusion of the Democratic Convention (Google Image Search by me):
Jack, I think there is a resemblance between Haley Joel Osment ( had to look that up on the computer) and Joseph Biden. Of course, Biden is what Haley Joel will look like when he gets older -- 40 years older. Again, I'm thinking of Osment as he was in "Sixth Sense". The computer said he is about 20 years old now, and will be in a Broadway play this coming fall. mom
I can see it! Ah, but my bipartisan mother wasn't done. For minutes after the end of the Republican Convention, she sent me this email:
Jack, Watching McCain deliver his speech I noticed that he resembles Charles Chaplin (Charlie Chaplin) when Chaplin was older with white hair. Hope Hanna doesn't drop too much rain on any one place. See you tomorrow. MOM
Again: Spot on! All you political pundits could learn a thing or two from my dear old mom.
And you'll be happy to know that I had a nice dinner with the folks the next night, and they made it to, and back from, a bar mitzvah in Tarrytown with no real interference from then-Tropical-Storm Hanna.

Your mom is awesome!!! I want more!
We thank you!
(My mom's name happens to be Judy, but finding this blog, creating a blogger account, and leaving a comment are all well beyond her computer abilities, I assure you.)
Oh, and in more partisan matters: If anyone would like to donate to the Obama campaign through my personal fundraising page, well, here it is;

And if you'd like to set up your own page, it's very easy:

Moms really do know best. I kid you not, my mother made the same Charlie Chaplin/McCain comparison when I was home recently. She said, "I hate John McCain, and he reminds me of Charlie Chaplin, so that makes me hate him more."
Two sites where Charlie is looking real McCainy...
